After years of weaving in and out of each other’s lives, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry have finally drawn the line. As of late June 2025, the engagement is officially over. It didn’t come with dramatic public statements or cryptic Instagram unfollows—just a quiet, steady exit from something that once looked built to last.
They’ve had false alarms before. Short breaks, reconciliations, red carpet appearances that seemed to suggest they’d figured it out. But this time, sources close to the couple insist it’s different. There’s no drama, but also no roadmap back.
How a Party Sparked a Love Story
Their beginning reads like a studio-scripted meet-cute: a shared laugh at the Golden Globes afterparty in 2016. But behind the scenes, it moved quickly into something real—travels, time with each other’s families, a daughter born in 2020.
Still, it’s one thing to fall in love between flights and award shows. It’s another to maintain a relationship when both people are pulled in different directions year after year. By the time they were planning their wedding in Japan (postponed in 2020), the cracks had already begun. Not so much explosive moments as slow erosion. Distance. Timing. Careers.

Bloom’s appearance at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in Venice made waves—not just because of the high-profile guest list, but because Perry wasn’t there. The cameras caught him greeting Kim Kardashian with a kiss, and social media ran with it, digging up old clips, old rumors, and layering them with fresh speculation.
Meanwhile, Perry had just returned from something that couldn’t have felt more different: a Blue Origin flight into suborbital space. The trip was meant to be a personal triumph, a symbol of pushing boundaries. But reports say Bloom didn’t take it well—he allegedly called it “embarrassing,” and the disagreement left a deeper bruise than either expected.
Katy Perry’s Perspective
Sources close to Perry describe her as emotionally mixed—tired, certainly, but also clearer-headed than she’s been in a long time. The word “relieved” has come up more than once. Her previous divorce from Russell Brand left a lasting mark, and part of her seems quietly grateful that she and Bloom never made it legal.
She’s still working—touring, writing—but has pulled back on public appearances. Their Montecito home is being rented out, and Perry’s been living separately for months. That detail didn’t go public until recently, but it had long been reality.

Insiders say they’d been trying to reset—there were talks of spending time together over the July 4th break—but it never quite materialized. Attempts to reconnect felt strained. They were coexisting more than living as a couple.
It wasn’t about one argument or one absence. It was the long string of mismatched schedules, missed moments, and the quiet realization that they wanted different things. That’s the part that rarely makes headlines, but it’s often the real story.
Co-Parenting
They’re not slinging blame. Not on the record, at least. And that’s something. As parents to Daisy, the focus now seems to be on building a stable rhythm—one where Daisy gets consistency, even if her parents aren’t under the same roof.
Whether or not they ever rekindle anything isn’t the point. What matters is that after nearly a decade of orbiting one another, Bloom and Perry have finally stepped out of the cycle. No spectacle. Just a quiet understanding that they did what they could—until it no longer worked.
