Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom split: What went wrong and their multimillion dollar fortunes
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have called it quits, but have an enormous wealth shared between them. Here’s how it unravelled and what’s at stake.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have called off their engagement and split after almost a decade together.
Their break-up marks the end of one of Hollywood’s most high-profile relationships, which also came to an end while she was touring Australia.
Bloom has already moved on to attend the star-studdied wedding of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice, where he is expected to make his debut as a bachelor.
One source told TMZ: “He’s the life of the party and he’s gonna hit the dance floor hard!”
Multiple publications including People, The New York Post’s Page 6 and TMZ and US Weekly, confirmed theor “amicable” break up after first met when Bloom ended his marriage to Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr.
A source close to the pair had said that Perry was “upset but relieved” not to have to go through a second divorce, as she was distraught over her first one.
“Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable. 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 said.
The break-up also drags Perry and Bloom’s daughter, Daisy Dove, into the middle of the picture and raises questions on how the two will co-parent their four-year-old child.
A source told People the California Girls singer, 40, is adjusting to her new role as a single mother.
“She never saw herself being a single mom,” the source said.
“She’s felt a lot of pressure about her tour and now this. It’s been a lot for her. She’s still doing great though.”
With Perry boasting an eye-watering $A611 million ($US400 million) net worth, and Bloom a massive $A61.1 million ($US40 million), both are very wealthy within their own right.
However, all eyes will be on what agreement they come to on the $A21.6 million mansion in Montecito, California the couple bought in 2020.
Bloom also spent $A7.6 million on Perry’s engagement ring, according to reports from E! News and Us Weekly.
Perry was spotted without it, another sign that had stirred speculation the pair had split.
She was seen without it as recently as this week where Perry was without her eye catching floral inspired ruby engagement ring in her latest Instagram post.
Contributing to Bloom’s net worth is another mansion for $A10.6 million he bought in Beverly Hills in 2017, which he sold for $A13.7 million and earned a $A3 million dollar profit.
He also raked in $A267,000 ($A89,000 per movie) across all Lord of the Rings films, $A18 million for both Pirates of the Caribbean movies and made $A4.5 million on Elizabethtown and $A1.5 million on The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Bloom and Perry also bought the apple cider vinegar producer, Bragg Live Food Products, along with three other investors in 2019.
Meanwhile, Perry cut a huge deal in 2023 which contributed massively to her net worth which included selling the rights to her music catalogue for a reported $A343 million.
Her touring revenue, especially from Her Witness tour in 2017–2018 grossed over $A311 million globally.
The pair first met at a Golden Globes afterparty on January 10, 2016.
The signs were bright as in May of that year, they made their relationship Instagram official after attending the Cannes Film Festival where Perry posted a photo of her and Bloom laying on the steps of the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes, France, with the caption: “We cannes’t.”
In February 2017, the couple broke up, with fans speculating that they split when they arrived separately at the annual Vanity Fair Oscars party and didn’t spend much time together at the event. A statement from both of their representatives at the time said they are “taking respectful, loving space at this time.”
They got back together, and then on Valentine’s Day in 2019, Bloom proposed to Perry.
The couple then moved in together a month later and announced the pregnancy of their first child about a year later after having to postpone their wedding which was originally planned for early summer 2020 in Japan due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Rumours that the pair were in trouble first surfaced after Perry had told friends in January of this year that her relationship with Bloom was as good as over and they had unsuccessfully been trying to save their romance, according to The Sun.
“They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter. But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin,” a source told the British newspaper.
Perry remains in Australia on her Lifetimes tour where she is currently performing in Adelaide.
