Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Call Off 6-Year Engagement: What Went Wrong?

Published: June 26, 2025

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, one of Hollywood's most beloved couples, have called off their nearly 6-year engagement. The news was confirmed by PEOPLE on June 26, 2025, leaving fans heartbroken and wondering what led to their decision.

A Breakdown of Their Relationship

Perry and Bloom met in 2016 and started dating shortly after. They got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019 and welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in August 2020. Throughout their relationship, the couple was open about experiencing ups and downs, including a temporary split in February 2017.

However, in April 2024, Bloom shared that they made a "daily" choice to stay together. "I think we kind of just demand that we get up every day, and she challenges me, I challenge her," he said. "It's a daily thing."

What Led to Their Split?

According to a source, the couple's relationship had been "breaking down" for months before they decided to call it quits. Another insider revealed that they got to a point where they felt there was no going back to a healthy relationship, and it was better to live separate lives.

The split is reportedly amicable, with Perry "still doing great" despite the breakup. Bloom has been spotted hanging out with Kim and Khloé Kardashian in Venice, Italy, while Perry is focused on her tour, giving her fans "the best show."

A Look Back at Their Relationship Timeline

Perry and Bloom's relationship was filled with ups and downs. They temporarily split in 2017 but reunited in 2018 and got engaged in 2019. They postponed their wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic and were still looking for a venue in 2022.

In recent years, Perry opened up about their temporary split and reconciliation, sharing that they only "kind of" spoke during the breakup. However, after going on her own retreat, "everything started changing," and she initiated a meet-up.
