Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom ‘split’ after seven years as insider reveals how singer is coping

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly split after nine years together.
The pair have called it quits following 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 to space, drawing significant backlash amid viral videos trolling her world tour and her poor-performing album 143.
Representatives for Perry and Bloom didn’t respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
‘Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,’ a source told Us Weekly, adding that the break-up was so far ‘not contentious.’
‘Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life,’ they said.
The source described the alleged split as ‘a long time coming’ and claimed their relations ‘have been tense for months.’
For now, Katy is reportedly staying ‘distracted’ with her tour and caring for her and Orlando’s four-year-old daughter Daisy, who was seen joining her while the 48-year-old English actor was elsewhere.
However, the Lord Of The Rings star later returned to Australia — where Katy has spent the month of June on tour — and reunited with his fiancée and daughter over the past week.
Despite once again being on the same continent as her fiancé, Katy has been spotted multiple times without her wedding ring in Australia.
On Monday, DailyMail.com reported that Katy and Orlando were renting out their $30 million mansion in Montecito, California, to Chris Pratt and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, which only intensified rumors of a breakup.
‘Her and Orlando have always lived in their other Montecito home as their primary residence,’ Us Weekly’s source said.
They said the allegedly split couple had intended to establish the rented mansion as ‘their family home’ before the situation changed.
They added that Katy and Orlando have ‘been living apart since Katy has been on tour.’
Katy had been spotted multiple times with her daughter Daisy while touring in Australia this month, and Orlando has made several solo public appearances, including stops at the Tribeca festival and an appearance to celebrate the launch of a cruise ship with Drew Barrymore.
This news follows reports that Bloom will attend Jeff Bezos’ wedding to Lauren Sanchez sans his fiancée Perry on his arm. He’s said to intend to make his debut as a ‘single man’ at his billionaire buddy’s nuptials, according to TMZ.
Meanwhile, Perry will miss the wedding due to her ongoing Lifetimes tour in Australia.
