Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly split after almost a decade of dating.

A source close to the A-list pair revealed that while Perry is upset about the relationship ending, she is relieved she doesn’t have to go through another divorce.

“Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,” an insider told US Weekly.

“It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is, of course, upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.”

According to the source, Perry, 40, and Bloom’s split has been a “long time coming” as tensions have simmered behind the scenes for months.

It is believed that the pop star told friends in January that her nine-year relationship with the British actor, 48, was practically over.

The pair got engaged in early 2019 after dating for three years, before welcoming their now four-year-old daughter Daisy in 2020.

For now, Perry is reportedly staying “distracted” and “keeping busy” while on tour and caring for her daughter.

The California Girls singer has been spotted several times with her daughter while touring Australia this month.

Meanwhile, Bloom has made multiple solo public appearances, including a stop at the Tribeca Film Festival to promote an upcoming film.

Rumours of a breakup started to intensify when the former couple rented out their $30 million mansion in Montecito, California, to Chris Pratt and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger.

The insider close to the couple said Perry and Bloom always lived in their second Montecito home as their primary residence; however, the pair had intended to establish the rented mansion as “their family home” before the situation changed.

They added that Perry and Bloom have “been living apart since Katy has been on tour.”

This news follows reports that Bloom will attend the controversial wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice solo, where he will make his “single man” debut, according to TMZ.

Another source told The Sun that the couple decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, as they were desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter.

“But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin,” the source said.

The source claims that Perry knew that taking off her engagement ring would send a clear message.

“It’s been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation.”

The pair’s last public appearance was at the Vanity Fair Oscars after party in March.
