Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom break up, require ‘respectful, loving space’

The pair’s representatives released a joint statement Tuesday evening in a bid to get ahead of the gossip mags.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have confirmed that they are taking a break from their relationship.

The pop princess and the British actor have dated for over a year and were pictured flirting at The Weinstein Company and Netflix’s Golden Globes Party back in January 2016.

Could this have caused Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s shocking and sudden split?!

But now insiders are claiming that Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom only ever enjoyed a light-hearted relationship and never had any intention of taking it to the next level.

MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Orlando Bloom for further information.

A slew of celebrities attended the pre-Oscars bash, but Perry, 32, was not one of them.

A source told the magazine that even though they posed together for the shot, the couple did not hang out at the party.

It had seemed as though they were enjoying a romantic reunion, after both working overseas for a number of weeks. “Katy’s going through a lot of changes for her new music – both physically and emotionally – and this was a part of that”. They shared a smiling photograph together inside the venue. Katy Perry was in London to perform at the BRIT Awards.

At the party, Bloom, 40, and McCabe sat next to each other and got close as they talked all night, with McCabe caressing Bloom’s cheek at one point.

Again, you guys know me, I read way too much into these things, but can I show you the photo Orlando posted to his Instagram just the day before? In an interview with Women’s Wear Daily, she said: “My boyfriend lives in Malibu, and getting used to that [drive] was like, “Are you kidding me?” Orlando and Miranda share 6-year-old son, Flynn.
