‘Messy’: New details of Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s split

New details are beginning to emerge about how Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are handling their shock split.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are reportedly co-parenting their 4-year-old daughter, Daisy, after breaking up.

“They are still very much in touch and co-parenting Daisy together,” an insider close to the former couple told Us Weekly in an article published Wednesday.

The source added that the actor, 48, took Daisy to meet up with Perry, 40, on her Lifetimes Tour before he left for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in Venice this week.

“It’s not messy between them,” the source noted.

The “Firework” singer and Bloom are allegedly easing into their new parenting structure by keeping logistics flexible for their child.

“They aren’t making drastic changes for Daisy’s sake,” the source said. “They will keep their lives in Montecito [California]. They are prioritising stability and consistency for Daisy.”

A source confirmed to Page Six earlier this week that their relationship is “over.”

“They are waiting ’til her tour is over before they split,” the insider told us at the time of her tour, which kicked off in April and runs through December 7th.

However, a source later confirmed to Us Weekly that the duo “split” on “amicable” terms.

“It’s not contentious at the moment. 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,” the source told the outlet.

Their break-up has allegedly been “a long time coming.”

Another source told People that tensions for the pair grew after Perry’s latest album, “143,” received poor reviews.

“Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,” the source said. “It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.”

The Hollywood star and Perry were first romantically linked in 2016 after meeting at an afterparty for the Golden Globes.

They briefly split in 2017 before getting back together again. Bloom later proposed to Perry on Valentine’s Day in 2019, and they welcomed their daughter the following August.

Perry hinted at trouble in paradise during her 2024 interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast when she admitted that they have fiery arguments.

“Orlando and I, when we argue, we argue kinda hot and fast and then cool really quickly. It’s like, ‘La la la la la, I love you. All right, let’s move on,’” she said, adding, “We are fire, fire, fire, and so [Daisy] sees all of that.”

Bloom, for his part, shared that maintaining their partnership wasn’t always easy.

“Sometimes things are really, really, really challenging. I won’t lie. We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity,” Bloom told Flaunt in 2023.

“I think we’re both aware of how blessed we are to have uniquely connected in the way that we did at the time that we did. And there’s definitely never a dull moment,” he added.
