LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s relationship might be in hot waters as a source close to them revealed that the two have been facing a lot of issues, leading them to part ways. 

Pondering about the singer flying solo to catch Taylor Swift's concert in Sydney, Australia, the insider said, "It's weird that she wasn't with Orlando [Bloom]. Instead, she was hanging out with Rita Ora and her husband," as per RadarOnline

Meanwhile, others got concerned when they noticed that the former 'American Idol' judge wasn't wearing her engagement ring. 

Earlier, a source told In Touch that the couple has always been a tough pair, "They're two very different people. Katy has a wild side, while Orlando is more chill. The fact that she wasn't wearing her ring is telling."

Perry and Bloom were first romantically linked in January 2016. They got engaged in February 2019 and welcomed their only child, daughter Daisy in August 2020.

Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry parted ways in February 2017 before reconciling one year later

The pair briefly broke up in February 2017, announcing it through an official joint statement. It said, "Before rumors or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time." 

At the time, Bloom said, "We're friends, it's good. 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."

Perry also took to social media to appeal to her fans to not read too much between the lines.

The 'Dark Horse' singer wrote, "HOW BOUT A NEW WAY OF THINKING FOR 2017!? U can still b friends & love ur former partners! No one's a victim or a villain, get a life y'all!"

"After Orlando and Katy split, they stayed in touch. It wasn't some awful split. They were just busy with their careers and it wasn't working," a source told PEOPLE Magazine, as they got back together just a year later. 

The tipster added, "In the past few months, they have spent a lot of time together. They both love traveling and are trying to share as many fun trips as possible. They are dating, but not necessarily putting a label on it."

They further noted, "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." 

In 2023, Perry opened up about their sobriety pact, saying, "We did this because he's shooting a movie in London right now that's taking every ounce of his focus, and so I wanted that opportunity to be supportive. It's really hard to do anything, whether that's doing a cleanse or a reset unless your partner's doing it. So, doing it together makes it so much easier."
