After nine years together, American singer Katy Perry and British actor Orlando Bloom have parted ways.

They have been engaged since February 2019 and have a four-year-old daughter.

The 40-year-old singer of Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F) was first romantically linked to Bloom in January 2016, when they were seen at several Golden Globe after-parties together.

They went public with their relationship on Instagram in May that year, after attending the Cannes Film Festival.

They were set to wed in 2020, but their plans were foiled by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bloom, 48, recently appeared in Orlando Bloom: To The Edge (2024), which he executive-produced. The three-episode TV series sees him going on a journey of self-discovery through activities such as freediving and rock climbing.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean (2003 to 2017) star also has a 14-year-old son with his ex-wife, Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr.

Perry was previously married to British comedian Russell Brand between October 2010 and December 2011. She is now in Adelaide for her The Lifetimes Tour, which will wrap up in December. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
