Why Did Orlando Bloom Broke Up With Katy Perry? Actor Breaks Silence On Their Bond After Breakup

Hollywood has always seen its fair share of high-profile breakups; some end in fiery conflicts, others in silent goodbyes, and a few transform into respectful friendships. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom seem to fall into the last category. Although the duo confirmed the end of their seven-year relationship, they continue to remain committed to keeping their bond amicable and co-parenting their 5-year-old daughter. 

Still, fans have been curious to know what went on behind the door that ended the beautiful bond. Well, here are some rumoured reasons that surfaced after the high-profile split. 

Why did Orlando Bloom split from Katy Perry after 7 years? 

Unlike others, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's split did not come out of nowhere. According to US Weekly's sources, the breakup of the former couple had been a long time coming. Since Katy Perry went on her global Lifetimes Tour and Orlando was busy with his acting commitments, distance posed a major challenge to their bond. Their schedules kept them apart for months and created a strain that was difficult to ignore. While some insiders noted that despite the love between Katy and Orlando, the former couple struggled to bridge the gap between their careers and personal lives.

Another factor was the constant uncertainty around their marriage plans. Although they got engaged on the occasion of Valentine's Day in 2019, they never finalised a wedding date. Initially Covid-19 pandemic caused a delay, but even after life returned to normal, they didn't move forward. A second source told, "Orlando was over it." While Katy was reportedly heartbroken, she also felt relieved that she wouldn't have to go through another painful divorce. Sharing the news about their breakup, the duo released a statement via their representatives that read:

"Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is, and always will be, raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect."

The actor revealed that he and Katy have been focusing on raising their daughter while sharing a mutual respect. In his words:

"We have the most beautiful daughter. You know, when you leave everything on the field like I did in this movie? I feel grateful for all of it. And we're great. We're going to be great. Nothing but love."
