New sign Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are ‘over’

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom appear to be living separate lives in Australia, amid reports he’ll “debut as a single man” at an A-list event this week.

Split rumours have intensified around Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry, with reports he is set to fly solo this weekend at the wedding of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.

According to TMZ, Bloom and the pop star are all but over and the actor will “make his debut as a single man” during the high-profile festivities in Venice, Italy.

“He’s the life of the party and he’s gonna hit the dance floor hard!” a source told the outlet, adding that the Pirates of the Caribbean star might even “sneak away” with Leonardo DiCaprio for “some bar crawling”.

“90 per cent of the people at the wedding are kinda boring, but 10 per cent are really fun, including Orlando, Leo and Jeff. It’s gonna be a great party,” the source said.

The Daily Mail reports that Perry – who is currently on the Australian leg of her Lifetimes world tour – is not happy with her long-term partner attending the wedding without her because Bezos and Sánchez are “her friends more than his”.

“Yet he’s the one going to the wedding,” a source told the masthead. “He’s insistent that he goes, which annoys her because he’s not particular close to either of them. She feels like it’s a ‘f**k you’ to her from him.”

Perry will play four concerts in Adelaide in the coming days, finishing the Australian leg of her tour on Monday.

It’s understood that the couple were already at odds over Perry’s recent all-female space mission – which was funded by Bezos and included his bride-to-be Sánchez – with Bloom calling it “cringe-worthy” and “embarrassing” during an explosive fight with the pop star.

“He complains about her going to space, and then wants to go to the wedding of the people who made it possible for her to do this in the first place,” the source added.

“That’s difficult for her to accept. They’re already spiralling and now the wedding is another thing that they have to fight about.”

With whispers of a split growing louder, Bloom made his way down to Australia earlier this week for what appeared to be a last-ditch effort to save their 9-year relationship.

However, during his visit to Perth – where Perry performed two shows at RAC Arena – the couple were not seen together in public.

Instead, Bloom was spotted out and about with their 4-year-old daughter, Daisy, on Sunday.

The following day, there was also no sign of Bloom as Perry went on a private boat ride with her dancers to enjoy the sights of Perth from the water. Their daughter was seen on board.

According to the Daily Mail, the couple’s issues go “deeper” than Bloom wanting to soft-launch his apparent single status at Bezos’ wedding.

“Katy has not been the same person for over a year now and Orlando has had enough,” the source said. “He advised her against space. She did it. He advised her against this tour and she did it. From where Orlando stands, all he ever wanted was for Katy to be herself.”

“He fell in love with her and who she is inside but this past year, he believes, has brought out the worst in her. He wants her to be happy and he wants her to be authentic. He just wants her to stop and enjoy the life that she has built.”
