Recent reports suggest Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom‘s nearly decade-long relationship is facing serious challenges, with sources claiming the couple is planning to split after her current tour ends in December 2025. While neither has officially confirmed these rumors, multiple insiders point to career stress, growing apart, and fundamental differences as key factors putting strain on their engagement.
Remember when Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom seemed like the perfect Hollywood power couple? Well, it looks like their fairy tale might be coming to an end. After almost ten years together, recent reports are suggesting these two might be calling it quits.
The couple, who got engaged in 2019 and share a 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, first met at a Golden Globes afterparty in 2016 while reaching for the same In-N-Out burger. Though neither has confirmed anything publicly, sources close to them are painting a pretty grim picture of where things stand right now.
Career pressures take their toll on the relationship
Let’s be honest – being a celebrity couple can’t be easy, especially when your career takes a nosedive. According to sources who spoke to Page Six,
It’s over. They are waiting till her tour is over before they split.
Ouch. The drama apparently started when Katy’s latest album, 143, didn’t exactly set the world on fire when it dropped in September 2024. Insiders revealed that,
Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album
and that,
it made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.
But wait, there’s more. Her Lifetimes tour hasn’t been getting rave reviews either, which only added fuel to the fire. One source noted that,
She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It’s put stress on their relationship.
Can you imagine dealing with professional disappointment while trying to maintain a relationship and raise a toddler? The pressure must be intense. Orlando’s been supportive, but even the most understanding partner has their limits when work stress starts bleeding into home life.
Growing apart and fundamental differences
Here’s the thing about long-term relationships – sometimes people just drift apart, and it sounds like that’s exactly what’s happening here. Sources are saying that
It’s true they’re spending time apart
and that,
Their friends don’t know if they are permanently split.
It’s actually pretty relatable when you think about it. You start off crazy about each other, but then life gets in the way.
What makes this particularly interesting is that their fundamental differences aren’t exactly new. Katy opened up on the Call Her Daddy podcast about their first breakup back in 2017, admitting they
weren’t really in it from day one.
She explained that she was “fresh out of a relationship,” and wasn’t ready for something serious, while Orlando had just finished a period of celibacy and was being more intentional about dating. Those core differences in how they approach relationships seem to have bubbled back up to the surface.
It’s an unspoken thing that they are having issues and have for a while now. Everyone around them knows,
is something the friends of the couple are reportedly saying.
History of relationship challenges and patterns
If you’ve been following this couple, you’ll know this isn’t their first rodeo with relationship drama. Sources are pointing out that “This isn’t the first time” they’ve hit a rough patch, explaining that (via UsWeekly)
The first time they broke up it was about two years after they got together
and that this kind of thing has “happened a few times,” but “they’ve always worked it out before.” So why might this time be different?
Well, back in 2017, they managed to work things out after taking some “respectful, loving space” – their words, not ours. They got back together, got engaged on Valentine’s Day 2019, and seemed stronger than ever. They’ve even been open about doing couples therapy, which honestly is pretty refreshing in Hollywood.
Katy has praised Orlando for his emotional intelligence and their communication skills in the past. But here’s the kicker – sources are suggesting that even their proven track record of working through problems might not be enough this time around. Their friends reportedly
don’t know if they are permanently split,
which doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. As Katy continues touring through December, everyone’s watching to see if they can pull another comeback or if this really is the end of the road.
