Their story read like a modern fairytale: a whirlwind Golden Globes after‑party meet‑cute that sparked a global celebrity romance lasting nearly ten years. But in June 2025, after months of tension and growing distance, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom quietly parted ways. Even as they grappled with one of entertainment’s most high‑profile splits, they remained committed to co‑parenting their four‑year‑old daughter, Daisy Dove, with mutual respect and intention.
Theirs was a relationship built on vivid moments. They first crossed paths in early 2016 at a Golden Globes after‑party, a meeting that legendary tales would later romanticize: Perry ordering ten boxes of In‑N‑Out, only for Bloom to swipe one in a playful interruption—a moment she later described on American Idol. That spring, they officially shared their romance with the world via Instagram during the Cannes Film Festival, posting sunlit snapshots that hinted at a bright future.
Summer 2016 brought a playful touch of scandal when Bloom went paddleboarding nude and Perry relaxed poolside in Italy, generating headlines and viral buzz. By Thanksgiving, he was introduced to her family, and holiday celebrations together showed the relationship had become intimate and serious. But by early 2017, the pressures of distance and fame led to their first break‑up. The split was amicable—Bloom later explained how they remained close, setting an example of how relationships needn't end in bitterness.
Their story took a hopeful turn in 2018, when they reconciled and were seen together across Europe. They returned to public life as a couple that fall, completing a full circle to their on‑again, off‑again dynamic. Three years later, on Valentine’s Day 2019, Bloom asked Perry for her hand in marriage, a moment met with collective excitement.
But their journey wouldn’t stop there. In March 2020, Perry revealed during the music video release for “Never Worn White” that they were expecting their first child, and by late August, their daughter Daisy Dove had been born. Their lives as a blended family began, with Orlando continuing his role as father to his son Flynn from a previous marriage to Miranda Kerr.
Life was not without challenges. They postponed their wedding in Japan due to the pandemic. Yet, their professional support for one another continued—they shared the red carpet and significant public moments, like Bloom presenting Perry with the MTV Video Vanguard Award in 2024. Perry described their connection as spiritual, rooted in understanding each other’s love languages.
Still, sources later revealed that their relationship had struggled under the weight of stress, conflicting schedules, and communication breakdowns. According to insiders, tension had been building for months, with distance during Perry’s Lifetimes tour compounding the strain. Despite love, sometimes love alone isn’t enough.
On June 26, 2025, representatives confirmed their split after nine years together, calling it a long time coming. But it wasn’t messy—sources emphasized their mutual relief at avoiding divorce and their determination to co‑parent harmoniously for Daisy’s sake. Within days, Bloom was seen boarding a lone water taxi to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Venice wedding, where he mixed with celebrities like Tom Brady and members of the Kardashian clan before being spotted close to a mystery woman, prompting curiosity about what was next.
Perry, on tour in Australia, took a deeply emotional pause before performing “Firework” in Adelaide, tears rolling as she offered a heartfelt thank‑you to her fans. That same day saw photos of her sharing downtime with Daisy, underscoring how much their priorities had shifted toward their daughter’s wellbeing.
Since the split, both have moved forward with resolve. Bloom shared contemplative quotes about “new beginnings” on Instagram, hinting at personal growth and a turn toward the future. Meanwhile, Perry remains focused on her tour and their daughter, quietly navigating the transition of being a single mom while continuing to honor her artistry and stage presence.
Their nearly decade of love may have come to an end, but its legacy lives on in Daisy Dove, in shared respect, and in two public figures choosing gentleness over drama. Their journey reminds us that even under the glare of fame, it’s possible to part ways with humanity intact. As they redefine their roles in each other’s lives, they’re showing that the most enduring love may not be romantic—it can be compassionate, evolved, and fiercely rooted in mutual care.
