Katy Perry<\/a> and Orlando Bloom’s split may have come as a surprise to some, but the writing was on the wall as far back as April, when the singer made a much-criticised appearance on the Blue Origin<\/a> Space Flight.<\/p>\n

The actor made a low-key appearance to watch the 11-minute trip into space, and opted against taking centre stage in the sea of cameras that documented every step of the mission.<\/p>\n

Bringing their daughter Daisy Dove to watch her mother embark on the trip, at the time it seemed like Orlando was shirking the limelight to avoid distracting from Katy’s historic presence on the journey.<\/p>\n

But after it was revealed that\u00a0Orlando and Katy had an explosive row over the singer’s ‘cringe-worthy’ behaviour<\/a>, it seems that the star’s bid to keep a low profile was to avoid drawing attention to the fact their relationship was over.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday it was revealed that Katy and Orlando had split after nine years together, with the Hollywood star set to make his ‘single man’ debut at Jeff Bezos<\/a>‘ star-studded wedding this weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The couple had made their last public appearance together in March, but it was reported on Thursday that Katy had told friends at the start of the year that their relationship was over.<\/p>\n

\"Orlando <\/p>\n

Orlando Bloom’s low-key appearance as Katy Perry’s much-criticised Blue Origin space flight in April hinted their relationship was already over, weeks before their split emerged<\/p>\n

\"On <\/p>\n

On Wednesday it was revealed that the couple had split after nine years together, with sources since revealing their relationship has been over for months<\/p>\n

Joined by Lauren Sanchez, the Blue Origin space flight was originally dubbed a huge step forward for women in science, but quickly turned into a PR disaster, and was branded ‘tone-deaf’ due to its huge price tag.<\/p>\n

Katy, in particular, became the internet’s punching bag for her eccentric actions, hogging the camera while holding up a daisy – a nod to her daughter – in zero gravity, before bizarrely dropping to her knees and kissing the ground on touchdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last week, a source told DailyMail.com that Katy\u00a0received little to no support from Bloom who blasted the ’embarrassing’ debacle during an explosive row.<\/p>\n

‘He told her the whole thing looked ridiculous,’ a source in Perry’s camp told the Daily Mail. ‘He said it was cringeworthy. Embarrassing. This was in the middle of a fight, and it hurt her feelings.’<\/p>\n

‘Of course she was hurt,’ the source continued. ‘Imagine going to space\u00a0\u2014 motherf****** space \u2014 and your partner isn’t impressed. She hoped he’d be more supportive.’<\/p>\n

It had been previously reported that Katy would not be attending Jeff and Lauren’s wedding in Venice this weekend, due to her tour commitments in Australia, and felt irate that Orlando insisted on attending.<\/p>\n

Sources said: ‘He complains about her going to space, and then wants to go to the wedding of the people who made it possible for her to do this in the first place,’ our insider said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘That’s difficult for her to accept. They’re already spiraling and now the wedding is another thing that they have to fight about.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Orlando <\/p>\n

Orlando was pictured arriving in Venice for pals Jeff and Lauren’s wedding on Thursday, and he’s set to make his ‘single man’ debut at Friday’s ceremony<\/p>\n

\"Katy <\/p>\n

Katy faced huge criticism for her ‘cringe-worthy’ behaviour during the space flight, with the singer hogging the camera with a Daisy in her hand, before kissing the ground<\/p>\n

\"Last <\/p>\n

Last week, a source told DailyMail.com that Katy received little to no support from Bloom who blasted the ’embarrassing’ and ‘cringe-worthy’ debacle during an explosive row<\/p>\n

Orlando was pictured arriving in Venice for pals Jeff and Lauren’s wedding on Thursday, and he’s set to make his ‘single man’ debut at Friday’s ceremony.<\/p>\n

It was claimed on Wednesday that Orlando and Katy had called it quits following weeks of escalating tension after nearly a decade of their on\u2013off relationship, six years of being engaged and one child together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For weeks fans have been speculating all is not well between the pair after Katy, 40,\u00a0was seen without her engagement ring<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yet the pop star – who is currently on a world tour – and Orlando have refused to comment on the speculation, with sources claiming they were hoping to work through their rough patch for the sake of their daughter Daisy Dove, four.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Katy and Orlando were last pictured together at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in March, where they posed for red carpet snaps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pair did not seem particularly comfortable in each other’s company, however, body language expert Judi James noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

News of their split came shortly after Katy’s disastrous space flight, drawing significant backlash amid viral videos trolling her world tour<\/a>\u00a0and her poor-performing album 143.<\/p>\n

In the wake of their split, it was reported that Katy and Orlando’s relationship had been over for months.<\/p>\n

A source close to the couple told The Sun<\/a>: ‘Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their relationship was as good as done.<\/p>\n

‘They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yet the insider claimed that their busy work schedules have made it impossible to work things out and that Katy wanted to send a ‘clear message’ by removing her engagement ring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The source concluded:\u00a0‘It’s been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation.’<\/p>\n

\"It <\/p>\n

It was claimed on Wednesday that Orlando and Katy had called it quits following weeks of escalating tension after nearly a decade of their on\u2013off relationship (pictured in March)<\/p>\n

For now, Katy is reportedly staying ‘distracted’ with her tour and caring for her and Orlando’s four-year-old daughter Daisy, who was seen joining her while the 48-year-old English actor was elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the Lord Of The Rings star later returned to Australia \u2014 where Katy has spent the month of June on tour \u2014 and reunited with his fianc\u00e9e and daughter<\/a>\u00a0over the past week.<\/p>\n

Despite once again being on the same continent as her fianc\u00e9, Katy has been spotted multiple times without her wedding ring <\/a>in Australia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Monday, DailyMail.com reported that Katy and Orlando were renting out their $30 million mansion in Montecito, California, to Chris Pratt and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, which only intensified rumors of a breakup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s split may have come as a surprise to some, but the writing was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":217634,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[186,92,77,813,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-217633","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-australia","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-tvshowbiz","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114753338602410882","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
