Up to this point, everyone has been talking about Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s split — that is, except Katy and Orlando.
Since the news broke two weeks ago that the couple decided to part ways after nine years together, we’ve learned quite a bit of information through second-hand sources. For example, there’s been reports on how Katy is allegedly dealing with the unexpected situation of being a single mother to her and Orlando’s child Daisy.
Earlier this week, posts circulated from Orlando’s IG that gestured toward “new beginnings” — which was, at that point, as concrete of a suggestion as any that the split is really for real.
Then, reports emerged that Katy and Orlando had been having problems “for years” and were struggling to “communicate properly.” “[They had] too much going on in their lives, which makes it hard to find time for each other and iron out disagreements,” a source told People.
Suffice to say, that’s a lot of info to receive without any official confirmation from either of them — but, fear not, because the former pair have finally confirmed their split in public, official fashion through their reps.
“Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship,” their reps told E! News in a statement, “representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting.”
“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.”
