Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Expected to Confirm Split After Tour

Criticism of Perry’s new album during her extended Australian tour has exacerbated their long-running relationship tensions.

Overview

  • Several US outlets report the couple has already separated and will publicize the split once Perry’s Lifetimes tour concludes.
  • Sources say negative reviews of Perry’s album 143 left her frustrated and placed significant strain on their partnership.
  • During a Sydney concert Perry’s remark linking a breakup song to a Tim Tam cookie intensified rumours of a separation.
  • Their geographic divide has been stark—Bloom appeared upbeat at New York’s Tribeca Festival with their dog while Perry looked troubled at Luna Park with daughter Daisy.
  • The pair, who got engaged on Valentine’s Day 2019 and share 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, previously split for a year in 2017 under similar stresses.
