Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom confirmed they have ended their six-year engagement and nine-year relationship, according to a joint statement released on 3 July. The couple said they have been "shifting their relationship over the past many months" and will prioritise co-parenting their four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom. Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, began dating in early 2016, briefly separated in 2017, and became engaged on Valentine’s Day 2019. Their wedding was postponed several times, and the pair welcomed Daisy in August 2020. Evidence of the amicable split emerged almost immediately. Bloom attended the Venice wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez alone in late June, while Perry continued her world tour in Australia. Less than a week after confirming the breakup, the former couple were photographed with their daughter aboard Bezos’s super-yacht off Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Representatives for both stars said they "will continue to be seen together as a family" and intend to raise Daisy "with love, stability and mutual respect." No details were provided on asset division or future living arrangements.
