How Did Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Wedding Spark New Tension Between Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom? Find Out
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are reportedly going through a difficult period in their relationship, with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's upcoming wedding adding to the strain. The couple, who have been together since 2016 and engaged since 2019, are facing disagreements on multiple fronts, including Perry's recent space trip and who will attend the Bezos-Sánchez wedding in Venice on June 24. According to Daily Mail sources, Perry was left hurt after Bloom dismissed her spaceflight with Blue Origin as 'cringeworthy' and 'embarrassing'. The April 2025 flight was organized by Lauren Sánchez, and although Perry had hoped Bloom would support the experience, he reportedly said, 'The whole thing looked ridiculous.' An insider from Perry's side added, 'Imagine going to space, motherf****** space, and your partner isn't impressed.' Why is Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding causing tension? Now, as Bloom gets ready to attend the three-day Bezos-Sánchez wedding celebration, Perry is noticeably absent from the guest list. TMZ reports that Perry has 'prior commitments', as she continues her world tour in Australia. However, a source revealed, 'It goes deeper than that.' 'Katy feels like they're really her friends more than his,' the insider said. 'And yet he's the one going to the wedding. She feels like it's a 'f*** you' to her from him.' Another point of tension is the fact that Bezos and Sánchez made the Blue Origin space trip possible for Katy Perry. 'He complains about her going to space and then wants to go to the wedding of the people who made it happen,' the source added. They added that it's difficult for her to accept. The couple is also struggling with career-related issues. Perry's latest album 143, received poor reviews, with critics calling it 'reductive' and 'AI-generated'. A source told PEOPLE the album has caused tension in her relationship with Bloom. Her Lifetimes world tour is also seeing slow ticket sales in some regions, leading to increased online criticism. Adding to the stress, Perry recently shared personal photos and stories about their relationship online, including topless snaps of Bloom, despite their past agreement to keep things private. This has reportedly frustrated Bloom, who feels Perry is using their personal life to manage public backlash. A second source close to Orlando Bloom shared that he feels Katy has changed over the past year and that he's grown frustrated. According to the source, Bloom had advised her against releasing the album, taking the space trip, and going on tour, but she chose to go ahead with all of it. From his perspective, he fell in love with who she truly is, but believes this past year has brought out a side of her that he finds difficult. He simply wants her to be happy, authentic, and to take a moment to enjoy the life she has built.

Katy Perry feels hurt after Orlando Bloom calls her space trip cringeworthy; the singer feels he is being hypocritical
Katy Perry 's 11-minute-long space travel received eyebrow scrunches than the claps, at least at her home. The pop icon's husband, Orlando Bloom , found her outer space travel cringeworthy and embarrassing amid the rumours of the relationship being on the rocks. 'Cringeworthy and Embarrassing' After Perry landed on Earth, she was scrutinised by the netizens for various reasons - from holding the daisy flower in front of the camera, blocking everyone, to kissing the ground after the touchdown, but her husband had no different reaction. Not only did Bloom show no support, but called the whole thing embarrassing, and Katy Perry was certainly hurt by the sharp words. 'He told her the whole thing looked ridiculous,' the source close to Perry revealed, before adding, 'He said it was cringeworthy. Embarrassing. This was in the middle of a fight, and it hurt her feelings,' according to Daily Mail. The source continued that imagine going to space and your partner isn't even impressed, adding Perry's feelings were hurt as she hoped he would be supportive. Katy Perry doesn't appreciate Orlando Bloom attending... The issues don't end here; the tension between the couple has risen after the talk was about who amongst the two would be attending the anticipated wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez , which kicks starts on June 24, in Italy. In the three-day celebration, Orlando Bloom is meant to make an appearance, and Katy Perry won't be joining him. While the 'I Kissed A Girl' hitmaker has prior commitments for her tour in Australia, it goes much deeper than that. 'Katy feels like they're really her friends more than his, and yet he's the one going to the wedding,' the source added. Bloom is insistent on going to the wedding, despite not being close enough to them, which Katy Perry isn't appreciating. However, what Perry really despises is Bloom's hypocrisy, as he ridicules her for going to space but wants to attend the wedding of the couple who made it possible. It's difficult for Katy as she's spiralling about the distance between them, and the wedding has to be the other reason for them to fight.
