Katy’s latest single
Perry and Bloom confirm split after a year together
ACTOR Orlando Bloom and superstar singer Katy Perry have split up after a year together.
The pair had been spotted together at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party on Sunday night.
But in a joint statement issued yesterday, they revealed that they were taking a break from their relationship.
A representative told the magazine US Weekly: “Before rumours or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time.”
Orlando, 40, and Katy, 32, went public with their relationship in January last year.
In July, when Hillary Clinton supporter Katy performed at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Lord of the Rings star Orlando was in the audience to support her.
A few days later, the couple jetted off to the Mediterranean – a holiday that became notorious for photos of a completely naked Orlando on a paddleboard.
Over Christmas, the couple spent time visiting sick children in hospital. They dressed up as Santa and Mrs Claus at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.
On Tuesday, Orlando posed with Katy’s dog Nugget in an Instagram photo with the caption “a mighty heart”.
Orlando has a son with supermodel ex-wife Miranda Kerr while Katy was previously married to British comedian Russell Brand.
