Katy Perry has offered insight into her breakup with Orlando Bloom, ending their relationship after nearly a decade together. The actor and pop star began dating in 2016. Although they separated briefly in 2017, they reunited and welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove in 2020.
Rumors circulated earlier this year that the couple, who got engaged in 2019, had quietly split. Their representatives confirmed in July that they had been adjusting their relationship to focus on co-parenting.
Since then, Katy Perry has moved on with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Recently, she released a single titled Bandaids, which hints at the reasons behind her breakup with Bloom. The song's lyrics reflect heartbreak and emotional pain.
“Hand to God, I promise I tried / There’s no stone left unturned.
It’s not what you did / It’s what you didn’t / You were there, but you weren’t.
Got so used to you letting me down / No use tryna send flowers now.
Telling myself you’ll change, you don’t / Band-Aids over a broken heart.”
In the song's second verse, Katy also alludes to her efforts to save the relationship.
