About this listen
Katy Perry has dominated headlines this past week for both personal and professional reasons, with her life squarely in the spotlight following her split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom. According to reports from the Los Angeles Times and People, Perry and Bloom have ended their relationship after more than nine years together, with sources confirming the breakup was finalized within the past few weeks. Us Weekly revealed the split was amicable, with both stars focused on co-parenting their four-year-old daughter Daisy Dove. While the end of their engagement sparked a flurry of speculation and commentary across social media, Perry, according to those close to her, is reportedly "upset but relieved" to avoid the pain of another divorce, referencing the emotional toll of her split from Russell Brand over a decade ago. The couple, who weathered significant ups and downs since meeting at a Golden Globes afterparty in 2016, will remain neighbors in Montecito to ensure stability for their daughter.
In true pop superstar fashion, Katy hasn’t let heartbreak slow her down. Instead, she’s thrown herself into the international leg of her sold-out Lifetimes Tour. She’s been lighting up Australia this week, performing to packed arenas in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, even adding extra dates due to unprecedented demand per TEG Dainty. Perry’s social media presence has remained upbeat despite the breakup, with a notably cheerful Instagram post on June 27 featuring her cuddling a quokka and grinning on a boat, captioned with her self-prescribed mood: "Quokka." Her 203 million Instagram followers responded with an outpouring of support, noting her resilience and positivity.
Business-wise, Perry continues to diversify her considerable portfolio, which recently made headlines for its estimated worth of between $360 and $400 million, bolstered by her music catalog sale, brand deals, and smart investments. She remains a fixture in pop culture, from her recent suborbital jaunt on a Jeff Bezos-backed rocket flight—which drew both applause and online criticism—to her advocacy for positive co-parenting arrangements.
While Bloom was spotted solo at Bezos's wedding festivities in Venice mingling with celebrities, Perry’s absence was explained by her Australian tour dates. As for rumors, there’s been no confirmation of any new romances or business partnerships, but the tabloids and fans are watching closely, speculating about future projects after her "143" album and whether her personal experiences will shape her next creative chapter. The consensus: Katy Perry’s heartbreak era will likely fuel more hits, but for now, she’s focused on her daughter, her music, and, above all, keeping her head high.
