Dubai: American Musician Katy Perry and English actor Orlando Bloom have been making the rounds on social media as fans speculate the couple have gone their separate ways.

According to People magazine, some insiders said that Perry’s stress over her album and world tour have caused tension between the couple. Perry is on her Lifetimes world tour, and is currently in Australia.

But have the couple actually gone their separate ways? No.

There has been no official statement from the singer and actor or their representatives. However, speculations continue as Perry receives negative feedback on her recent album, 143.

In an interview with People recently, Perry said, “You shouldn’t read it when it’s good or bad.”

“(This album was created) from a real shift in my life when I became a mother, and I really tapped into that feminine divine energy. The messages on it are celebratory. They’re about love,” she added.

Bloom on the other hand, is said to attend the Sanchez-Bezos wedding alone according to a report by TMZ, adding to the breakup rumours.

Perry and Bloom have been engaged since 2019 and had their daughter Daisy Dove in 2020.
