Global stars Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom broke their silence after a week of rumors, officially confirming their separation in a joint statement.

According to the British Daily Mail, the statement read: “Orlando and Katy have shifted the course of their relationship in recent months to focus on co-parenting their daughter... They will remain a family, as their constant priority is raising their child in an environment of love, stability, and mutual respect.”

The statement clarified that it was released due to the intense media attention surrounding their relationship.

An amicable but painful separation Earlier, a source told Us Weekly that the couple had separated amicably. “Katy is understandably upset,” the source said, “but she’s relieved not to go through another divorce, which was one of the hardest times of her life.”

Two days before the official announcement, Daily Mail reported that the couple had rented out their $30 million Montecito mansion to actors Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger.

Signs of the breakup appeared on stage Before the statement, Katy Perry showed emotional signs, breaking down in tears while performing her song “Pearl”—about a troubled relationship—during a concert in Mexico City last April.

She also fought back tears at a concert in Adelaide, Australia this week, saying to the crowd: “Thank you, Australia, for always standing by me.”

Cryptic posts from Bloom At the same time, Orlando Bloom posted several cryptic messages on social media about loneliness and emotional struggle, fueling further speculation. One notable quote from psychologist Carl Jung read: “Loneliness does not come from having no people around, but from being unable to share what matters to you.”

Another quote said: “Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness... and the word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if not balanced by sadness.”

Orlando Bloom’s latest appearance Following the split, Bloom was spotted in Venice, Italy, attending the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, alongside celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Sydney Sweeney.
