Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have officially parted ways after nearly a decade together. The couple, who got engaged in 2019 and share a daughter, Daisy Dove, have been surrounded by breakup rumors for months, which were finally confirmed in June 2025.
The emotional toll of the split became evident when Perry, 40, broke down in tears during her recent concert in Australia. While performing in front of thousands, the pop icon took a moment to address her fans, expressing heartfelt gratitude: “Thank you for always being here, it means the world to me.” The raw moment occurred just before she launched into her hit song “Firework”, visibly emotional and holding back tears while forming a heart symbol with her hands.
Clips from the concert have gone viral on social media, with fans flooding comment sections with broken heart emojis and messages of support. The performance marked Perry’s first public appearance since the news of her separation from the Pirates of the Caribbean star.
The couple welcomed their daughter in August 2020 and had previously been seen as one of Hollywood’s most beloved pairs. Their split was confirmed shortly before Bloom appeared solo at Jeff Bezos’ wedding to Lauren Sánchez in Venice. Adding to the speculation, recent rumors have linked Bloom to actress Sydney Sweeney, though nothing has been confirmed.
On the same day Katy was seen breaking down on stage, Orlando posted a cryptic message on his Instagram Stories. Quoting @taomeditation, he reshared: “Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most” — a quote attributed to Gautama Buddha, sparking further speculation about his emotional state.
As the news continues to make waves, fans remain concerned for Perry’s well-being, sending messages of love and strength as she continues her tour during what is clearly a difficult time.
