Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly split after nine years together.
The duo were seen calling it quits after weeks of escalating tension, after nearly a decade of their on-off relationship, six years of being engaged, and one child together.
This comes just shortly after the 40-year-old pop star went into space, drawing major backlash amid viral videos trolling her world tour and her poorly performing album 143.
Representatives for both Perry and Bloom didn’t respond to the Daily Mail’s request for a comment.
Insiders shared how the duo’s split was not something sudden, and they had both told friends that they were splitting up in January, but managed to keep things private for this long.
The news comes as Perry is currently on tour for her latest album, but she’s said to be both upset and relieved that it’s over. ‘She didn’t wish to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time of her life’ – the insider mentioned.
The source shared how the split was a long time coming and that tensions had been rising between the two for a while now. Despite being in the same location as Bloom, she’s been seen without her engagement ring on several occasions, and that was a major indicator for fans.
