After a week of frenzied speculation surrounding their relationship, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have finally broken their silence, and confirmed that they have indeed made changes to how they approach their nearly decade-long romance.
The Hollywood couple, who have shared a whirlwind love story since first dating in 2016, have been at the centre of split rumours since eagle-eyed fans noticed they had not been pictured together in recent weeks.
Now, in a joint statement released by their representatives to US Magazine, Katy and Orlando confirmed they have “shifted their relationship” but remain united in their top priority: co-parenting their three-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.
“Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is, and always will be, raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect,” the statement reads.
The couple’s journey has certainly been eventful. After meeting at a Golden Globes afterparty in early 2016, the two quickly became inseparable, going Instagram official in May of that year. Fans adored their playful dynamic, but by early 2017, the pair parted ways.
However, the split didn’t last long. They rekindled their romance in 2018 and by Valentine’s Day 2019, Bloom had popped the question with a dazzling ruby and diamond engagement ring in a floral design, which Katy proudly debuted on social media.
Later that year, they moved in together, and in August 2020 welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove, who has since become the centre of their world.
The joint statement appears to confirm that while the romantic chapter of their relationship may have come to an end, the couple remain committed to working as a team for the sake of their daughter.
Fans have taken to social media to express their support for the duo, applauding their maturity and commitment to putting family first despite the challenges of public scrutiny.
While neither has commented individually beyond the official statement, insiders suggest both stars are taking time to adjust to this new chapter privately.
As one fan put it on X: “Sad to hear, but respect how they’re handling this. Daisy is lucky to have such loving parents.”
