Looks like the decade-long love story between pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom has ended in heartbreak.
On June 26, 2025, multiple media outlets confirmed the couple’s breakup, just days after the first whispers of the news began circulating. An anonymous insider close to Perry and Bloom exclusively shared details about their recent split with PEOPLE magazine the same day.
According to the source, things between the two turned subtly toxic behind closed doors, and there was no coming back from that. They shared,
“They got to a point where they feel there is no going back to a healthy relationship and that it’s better to live separate lives”.
However, the insider emphasized that the decision was mutual and amicable.
Further shedding light on how the Firework singer is coping with her heartbreak while managing her ongoing Lifetimes Tour, the source added,
“The split is amicable. She’s felt a lot of pressure about her tour and now this. It’s been a lot for her. She’s still doing great though”.

A few weeks prior to the latest confirmation of their split, on June 13, 2025, an anonymous insider told PEOPLE magazine that trouble had been brewing in their relationship.
Revealing that the two had been facing difficulties for the past few months, and that the split was not sudden but a long time coming, the source had hinted at the breakup, saying at the time,
“They’re pretty much done. I don’t really see them being able to turn things around here. It’s been breaking down the last couple of months and isn’t looking good”.
