Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom confirm their separation
In the midst of the rumors that arose, the couple spoke out for the first time, stating that they made the decision to separate in order to focus on raising their daughter, and therefore they will continue to live together to provide a stable environment for Daisy Dove.
“Due to the great interest and recent conversations surrounding the relationship between Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been transforming their bond in recent months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to see each other as a family, as their shared priority is—and always will be—raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect,” explained.
Regarding the reasons, a close source told People that the couple has been facing complications for years in their relationship, especially due to the distance they often have to take as part of their work commitments.
“Katy and Orlando have been dealing with the same problems for years. They have too many things going on in their lives, which makes it difficult for them to find time to be together and resolve their differences. When they are unable to communicate effectively, their relationship suffers,” he commented.

On the other hand, according to information from People, the distance between the couple began before the release of the album ’143′, which has intensified after the criticism of Katy Perry’s tour, making the end of their relationship evident.
“Katy felt deeply frustrated after the reception of her new album, 143, which was released in September. It stressed her out a lot. Orlando was understanding, but it did generate some tension. She also felt disappointed with some of the tour reviews. This has caused conflicts in their relationship.”
