Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom split primarily due to long-standing relationship stressors including busy, conflicting schedules, distance, and professional pressures. Their relationship had been "breaking down" for months, with tensions rising especially around the reception of Perry's September 2024 album "143," which caused her stress and disappointment over tour reviews. These professional stresses put strain on their personal relationship, contributing to the eventual split after nearly nine years together. They never set a wedding date despite a years-long engagement, and Orlando reportedly became "over it." Despite the breakup, they remain amicable and focused on co-parenting their daughter, Daisy. Their relationship had also weathered earlier separations and underlying communication issues related to their high-profile careers and differing life outlooks. The split was described as "amicable" but a culmination of ongoing pressures, emotional distance from Perry's touring, and personal frustrations for both.
