They’ve been Hollywood’s dream couple for years – but if, rumours are to be believed, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom could be heading for a nightmare split. The pair have been engaged since 2019, and they share daughter Daisy, but recently, there’s been headlines there might be trouble in paradise. On June 13, a source told People the pair were ‘pretty much done’ adding they ‘don’t really see them being able to turn things around’. The source continued: ‘It’s been breaking down the last couple of months and isn’t looking good.’ Eek.

Adding more fuel to the fire, during a recent appearance at a gay club night in Melbourne, Australia, Katy could be seen singing without her signature ruby engagement ring. Orlando proposed to Katy on Valentine’s Day 2019 with a gorgeous flower ring – rumoured to be worth a staggering $5million – but instead, she switched the showstopper ring for a plain silver band.

And again, there was further speculation when it was revealed Orlando will make his way alone to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez’s wedding in Venice later this month… But there’s actually a logical explanation for that, as Katy is currently on a string of Australian tour dates – which were in the diary well before the wedding.

It might not all be doom and gloom, as there have been some recent signs their relationship might be OK. There was a fun segment at a concert recently where Katy called out a fan for ‘DMing Orlando’. (It was just a bit of fun, and actually just a segue into her song I’m His, He’s Mine.) Orlando also publicly supported Katy as she flew into space earlier this year, watching on with their four-year-old daughter Daisy from the liftoff site in West Texas.

However, despite his appearance, a recent report from The US Sun claims the actor may not have been totally behind the all-female space trip – which later garnered criticism from around the world. (Model Emily Ratajkowski summed up a lot of people’s thoughts when she took aim at Katy, questioning: ‘Saying that you care about Mother Earth and it’s about Mother Earth and you’re going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that’s single handedly destroying the planet?’) ‘From day one, Orlando didn’t think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face backlash,’ a source told the paper. Grazia have approached representatives of Katy and Orlando for comment.

While they might not be married to each other yet, both A-listers have been wed before. Katy was briefly married to comedian Russell Brand from 2009-2011. (Separately, Brand is currently facing charges of rape, sexual assault and indecent assault, and pleaded not guilty at a recent court hearing.) Orlando was married to model Miranda Kerr from 2010-2013 – they share son Flynn, who is now 14. Both Katy and Miranda get along – with Katy saying in 2023 that she felt like she’d gained a ‘sister’.

Orlando and Katy were supposed to get married in the summer of 2020 – but we all know what delayed it: the pandemic. ‘It was all set for Japan with 150 guests,’ a source told People at the time. ‘Katy was actually really excited about walking down the aisle pregnant. They were both so elated that all the wedding details were finally coming together, but they are hitting pause because of coronavirus.’

And before they got engaged, the pair did split for a year, something Katy recently opened up about on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast. She told listeners the pair broke up in 2017, as Orlando was more committed to the relationship than she was – and that he told Katy he was fed up of playing a ‘cat-mouse game’ after he returned from a week-long retreat, which led her to leave him. It was only a year later, after Katy went to same retreat at the Hoffman Institute, they reunited.

She also revealed they had a less-than romantic first meeting – as they argued over an In-N-Out burger after attending the Golden Globes in 2016. Their relationship also started on rocky ground, as they were at different stages with dating. ‘He had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions,’ she said. ‘I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was just like, “I can’t do this anymore. I need to go swim in a different pond,” but I had yet to do a lot of real work.’

Katy also spoke about their differing personalities, and how Orlando supports her day-to-day. ‘We all have our strengths and then our opportunities for growth,’ she continued. ‘But one of his strengths [is] when I crumble, he can step in and be that anchor. That’s amazing because I’m usually just alpha, alpha, you know? I’m like testosterone, testosterone. “I got this. I don’t need any help,” but actually I do need help. I do need a partner.’ So it certainly sounds like they’re a good match – let’s hope they’re not heading for a split.
