Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom end their nine year relationship

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom end their nine-year relationship after an on-and-off romance that began in 2016.

"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. – Orlando Bloom"

Washington DC, June 26

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have called off their relationship.

A source confirmed to PEOPLE that the couple, who got engaged in 2019, have decided to part ways. TMZ was the first to report the news.

Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, first met in 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty -- over a shared love for In-N-Out burgers. According to People, Katy, while recalling the moment during an episode of American Idol, said, "I met my boyfriend over In-N-Out. We were at the Golden Globes, and we weren't together."

"So I had my security guard grab 10 In-N-Outs, and all of a sudden I see my boyfriend's hand, he wasn't even sitting at our table. he just swoops in and grabs it. I was like, 'Hey, that's my burger!',"She added.

Later that year, the couple went public with their romance after attending the Cannes Film Festival and sharing their first photo on Instagram.

However, their relationship has had its ups and downs. In February 2017, the couple announced they had broken up but stayed on good terms during an appearance on Call Her Daddy.

"We're friends, it's good," Bloom said of his split with Perry in April 2017. "We're all grown up. She happens to be someone who is very visible, but I don't think anybody cares about what I'm up to. Nor should they. It's between us. It's better to set an example for kids and show that [breakups] don't have to be about hate."

The two reunited in 2018 but reportedly chose not to label their relationship at first. A source told PEOPLE back then, "They are not girlfriend and boyfriend. They do seem very happy together, though. Orlando always had the nicest things to say about Katy. He loves spending time with her."

Later that year, they made their red carpet debut at the Gala for the Global Ocean in Monaco.

Sad to hear this news! They seemed like such a fun couple. Remember that viral video where Katy was teaching Orlando Bollywood dance moves? 😊 Hope they remain friends at least.

Not surprised honestly. Hollywood relationships rarely last. Our Indian arranged marriages have better success rates! But I do admire how maturely they're handling the breakup.

Their In-N-Out burger story was so cute! 🍔 Maybe they should try bonding over vada pav next time they meet in Mumbai. Wishing both of them happiness.

Why is this international celebrity gossip trending in India? We have more important issues to focus on. Media should prioritize local news over Hollywood breakups.

They were together for 9 years without getting married? That's so unusual by Indian standards. But different cultures, different norms. Hope they find what they're looking for.

Remember when Katy Perry wore that stunning lehenga at that Indian wedding? She really embraced our culture. Maybe she should visit India again - good therapy after a breakup!
