Why Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom's Love Story Might Not Be Over Yet
Even though all eyes are expected to be on Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez next weekend for their Venice, Italy wedding, the guest list is also sure to cause a stir.
TMZ already confirmed that Orlando Bloom will be attending the nuptials without Katy Perry, but for good reason — she had pre-booked concert dates in Australia. Still, fans are curious as to where their relationship stands after rumors of behind-the-scenes troubles surfaced in early June. But now, there might be some hope on the horizon for the longtime couple.

Orlando Bloom Reportedly Said What Everyone Else Was Thinking About Katy Perry's Blue Origin Flight
A source confirmed to the Daily Mail that 'the rumors of a rough patch are true,' but they also offered more positive news: 'It's not at the point of no return.' The current strain is more situational since Perry is busy on The Lifetimes Tour and currently on an international leg.
'They haven't been able to sit down and work on some of their issues,' the insider added. 'A breakup isn't imminent, but they both know that they should focus on their relationship before it does become too late.'
People magazine was the first to report that the 40-year-old pop star was 'deeply frustrated' by the criticism surrounding her album, 143, and 'it made her very stressed.' The disappointing sales caused 'some tension' between her and her 48-year-old fiancé. The pile-on only got worse when her tour wasn't well received, and her career wasn't taking off in the way she had hoped after her American Idol exit.
Neither Bloom nor Perry have addressed the relationship issues publicly, but the 'Teenage Dream' singer did take issue with some of the online hate in a comment on her April 29 Instagram post.
'When the 'online' world tries to make me a human Piñata, I take it with grace and send them love, because I know so many people are hurting in so many ways and the internet is very much so a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed,' she wrote.
The dynamic duo met at a Golden Globes afterparty in January 2016. Their relationship has weathered through several on-again, off-again moments, solidly landing on an engagement in February 2019. They welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in August 2020.Best of SheKnows

‘No Space for Bezos:' Venetians Bristle at Amazon Founder's Wedding Plan
VENICE—Details of the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are a tightly kept secret. That isn't stopping some angry Venetians, armed with buoys and motorboats, from plotting to disrupt it. 'We will be in the canals, we will be in the alleyways and we will be on the waterfront,' said Na Haby Stella Faye, delivering her vow of Churchillian defiance to around 200 Venetians gathered in a small piazza. 'No Space for Bezos,' read a banner behind her, alluding to the American magnate's space venture.

New 'God of War' Game Delayed To 2026
Fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the God of War saga may have to wait a bit longer. According to industry insider Jeff Grubb, an unannounced God of War project set in ancient Greece has been internally delayed to 2026. Shared during a recent episode of the Last of the Nintendogs podcast, Grubb's claim has sparked excitement and speculation about what this mysterious spin-off could entail. A Return to Greece with a Twist Unlike the Norse mythology explored in 2018's God of War and 2022's God of War: Ragnarök, this new project is rumored to revisit the franchise's Greek roots. Earlier reports suggested a 2025 release, but Grubb now indicates the game has been pushed back, possibly due to its expanding scope or challenges like the recent voice actors' strike. Rumors also point to a bold departure from the series' traditional formula, with insiders like Tom Henderson describing it as a 2.5D Metroidvania-style game. Deimos as the Star? Adding fuel to the speculation, leaks suggest the game may not center on Kratos but instead feature his brother, Deimos, in a prequel set before Kratos becomes the Ghost of Sparta. This smaller-scale side story could explore untold chapters of the Greek saga, potentially blending the series' signature combat with Metroidvania exploration. Grubb has emphasized that this is not a remaster or a mainline sequel but a distinct project, possibly akin to Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales in scope. When Will We Hear More? With no official confirmation from Sony or Santa Monica Studio, the game's delay to 2026 suggests an announcement might be imminent, perhaps at The Game Awards in December 2025, given the precedent set by the Valhalla DLC reveal in 2023. The absence of the project at recent PlayStation events like State of Play and Summer Game Fest further supports the idea that Sony is holding off for a bigger reveal. What's Next for God of War? The God of War franchise, now 20 years strong, continues to captivate fans with its rich storytelling and evolving gameplay. While the Norse saga concluded with Ragnarök, a return to Greece could rekindle the brutal, mythological roots that defined Kratos' early adventures. As PlayStation's 2026 lineup grows with titles like Ghost of Yotei and Wolverine, this Greek spin-off could be a unique addition to the PS5's first-party slate. Until Sony breaks its silence, fans can only speculate about this intriguing project. Will it deliver the same emotional depth and visceral action the series is known for?
