Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship timeline as couple 'on the rocks'
A new source has claimed the couple are "on the rocks" after Katy Perry allegedly pulls out of attending Jeff Bezos' wedding with Orlando Bloom next week amid break up talks
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have shared plenty of ups and downs, but their relationship has seemingly blossomed over the years. However, a source recently claimed the couple are "on the rocks" with break-up talks in full swing.
The couple, who welcomed daughter Daisy Dove in 2020, were due to attend Jeff Bezos' wedding in Venice next week. But sources have since claimed the actor will attend alone, with Katy, 40, recently spotted without her ruby engagement ring.
The couple, who got engaged in 2019, are yet to tie the knot after initially cancelling wedding plans in December 2019. Here, we take a look at the full timeline of their on-off relationship.
January 2016: Sparks fly at a Golden Globes afterparty
Their love story began at a party following the 2016 Golden Globes. According to Us Weekly, the pair were seen getting close, with a source revealing they were "extremely flirty and whispering to each other."
Photos showed the pair laughing, smiling, and clearly enjoying each other's company. "He would lean in to whisper into her ear and touch the small of her back as they chatted," the source said.
They reportedly left the event together.
May 2016: Making it Instagram official
A few months later, Katy confirmed the romance with a playful Instagram post of the couple in matching robes on the steps of a building in Cannes, France.
February 2017: Breakup
After nearly a year of dating, the couple parted ways. Their representatives issued a joint statement saying, "Before rumours or falsifications get out of hand we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time."
Sources claimed it was Katy who initiated the breakup but insisted it was amicable. "Katy pulled the plug... they both still love each other very much," a source told E! News , adding that their bond was still strong, particularly for the sake of Orlando's son, Flynn.
"Katy has built a really strong connection with Flynn," the insider said.
March 2017: Shutting down drama
Katy quickly shut down any suggestion of drama post-split, tweeting, "HOW BOUT A NEW WAY OF THINKING FOR 2017!? U can still b friends & love ur former partners! No one's a victim or a villain, get a life y'all!"
April 2017: Orlando confirms they are still friends
In an interview, Orlando echoed the sentiment, saying, "We're friends, it's good... It's better to set an example for kids and show that [breakups] don't have to be about hate."
August 2017: Spotted together again
Rumours of a rekindled romance surfaced when fans saw the pair attending an Adele concert together.
May 2018: Katy reveals she's off the market again
During the American Idol season finale, Katy told Bachelorette star Becca Kufrin, "I'm not single but I still like you," confirming her rekindled relationship with Orlando.
September 2018: Red carpet debut
The couple made things official in public by appearing together on the red carpet at the Gala for the Global Ocean in Monaco.
February 2019: The proposal
The actor proposed the day after Valentine's Day with a show-stopping 4.5-carat ruby and diamond ring reportedly worth $5million. Katy announced their engagement with an Instagram post showing off the stunning ring.
"Orlando had planned this for a while," a source told People, adding that he asked for Katy's parents' blessing before proposing. "Katy was very surprised and shaking with happiness... They both want kids together and will prioritise this."
Speaking on Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp, Katy recalled, "I get there and, I mean, he's like clean-shaven. He's not wearing tennis shoes. I'm like, 'Ah s***, something is going down!'"
She described how after dinner, he whisked her away on a helicopter, proposed mid-air, and landed at a party filled with her friends, family, and "the most flowers you've ever seen".
March 2019: Moving in together
By March, the couple had taken another big step - moving in together. A source revealed that Orlando was selling his home to live with Katy. The arrangement was drama-free, with Orlando's ex-wife Miranda Kerr reportedly supportive: "Miranda doesn't have an issue with Flynn being at Katy's house when Orlando has custody. Everyone is getting along great."
At the time, wedding planning was underway but still without a firm date. "They are trying to find a middle ground," a source explained. "Orlando always shied away from anything flashy. He doesn't want a huge, celebrity wedding... Katy will work with a planner."
December 2019: Wedding postponed
US Weekly had claimed the couple were planning a December wedding, but a source told the outlet they had postponed it. "They changed the timing due to the location they want," they said at the time.
E! also spoke to a source about why Perry and Bloom are postponing their wedding to 2020. "They wanted to get married quickly but scheduling and pulling everything together has proven to be difficult," the source said.
"The wedding was supposed to be in September, then December and now early next year. They have had to move things around because Katy has grand ideas of where and how she wants things to be."
March 2020: They announce pregnancy
In addition to cradling her pregnant stomach in her music video for "Never Worn White", Katy wrote on Instagram "Let's just say it's gonna be a jam packed summer..."
She also said she was "excited" and "happy" on her Instagram story, writing: "It's probably the longest secret I've ever had to keep. I thought I would tell you guys in the best way through a piece of music."
August 2020: Couple welcome first baby together
On August 27, UNICEF announced the birth of Daisy Dove Bloom on Instagram. Both Katy and Orlando are Goodwill Ambassadors for the charitable organisation.
"We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter," said the couple in a statement.
February 2022: Katy reveals wedding plans are still in full swing
In an interview, Katy claimed the delay was down to the pandemic. "It's a destination location that like, you know, we're still trying for it to work out, but every couple of months it's like, 'New variant! New variant! New variant!'" she said.
February 2023: Orlando calls relationship 'challenging'
Speaking to Flaunt magazine, Orlando explained how being in different creative industries has affected his relationship with Perry.
"We're in two very different pools," he said. "Her pool is not a pool that I necessarily understand, and I think my pool is not a pool that she necessarily understands. Sometimes things are really, really, really, challenging. I won't lie. We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity."
September 2024: Katy reveals reason for first break up
During her Call Her Daddy interview, Katy spoke about why the couple took a break in 2017. "We weren't really in it from day one," she said.
"He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond, but I had to do a lot real work."
She also revealed the couple had undergone couples therapy, explaining they "want to evolve" for their daughter's sake.
June 2025: Break up rumours
After Katy was seen without her engagement ring, break up rumours flew. A friend of the pair has told MailOnline: "Unfortunately they are on the rocks... I'm afraid it does not look promising."
An insider told the New York Post: "It's over. They're just waiting until the tour is done before they split."
It's now thought Orlando will attend Jeff Bezos' wedding next week alone, despite Katy also being invited.
