Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom fought over ‘ridiculous’ space flight

As rumours intensify that their relationship is on the rocks, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry reportedly argued about her “embarrassing” inclusion on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin space flight.

Orlando Bloom reportedly blasted Katy Perry’s Blue Origin space flight in April as “embarrassing” and “cringe-worthy” in “the middle of a fight.”

The 48-year-old actor “told her the whole thing looked ridiculous” during the explosive argument, a source told the Daily Mail.

“It hurt her feelings,” the insider noted. “Of course she was hurt. Imagine going to space — motherf**king space — and your partner isn’t impressed.”

The singer, 40, had reportedly “hoped” her fiance would “be more supportive.”

She told a US radio station in March that Bloom was “all about” her historic trip to space.

Because of Bloom’s reported comment, Perry is finding it “difficult to accept” that her partner will be attending Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos’ Italy wedding this month without her as she tours. (The singer is currently in the middle of her Australian tour.)

“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 outlet added.

“They’re already spiralling and now the wedding is another thing that they have to fight about.”

TMZ was the first to report that Perry will not be present at the star-studded nuptials due to “prior commitments” — her Lifetimes tour.

While the Grammy nominee “does have prior commitments,” Bloom’s attendance “feels like … a ‘f**k you’ to her from him,” according to the outlet.

“They’re really her friends more than his, and yet he’s the one going to the wedding,” the insider alleged. “And he’s insistent that he goes, which annoys her because he’s not particular close to either of them.”

The couple have been together since 2016, briefly splitting up the following year before getting engaged in 2019.

The duo, who share a four-year-old daughter, Daisy, put their 2020 wedding on hold amid the Covid pandemic.

News broke earlier this month that their was “tension” in the pair’s relationship, with People reporting that Perry’s “devastating” album flop caused “stress.”

The outlet claimed, “Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album, 143. It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.”

The New York Post reported that the romance is on the rocks.

“It’s over,” a source said. “They are waiting ’til her tour is over before they split.”

Perry’s tour ends on December 7.
