A Complete Timeline of Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom’s Relationship

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly ended their engagement after nine years together. Sounds like the couple, who turned a Golden Globes dance-off into a very public romance complete with naked paddle-boarding and a flower-shaped engagement ring, haven’t had the best year at all (as several outlets reported this week). They share 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove Bloom.

From flirty beginnings to presidential costumes to whatever that space trip was about, here’s how their relationship played out.

January 2016: Golden Globes sparks

The timeline kicks off at a Golden Globes after-party where Perry and Bloom reportedly stage an impromptu dance-off. An eyewitness said that Perry “literally dropped to the floor and was waving her booty around, beckoning Orlando”—and he went for it.

2016: A whirlwind first year

They kept things low-key through spring with theater dates and finally make it Instagram official during the Cannes Film Festival. That summer, paparazzi catch Bloom paddle-boarding in the nude beside Katy Perry. He later shrugs off the frenzy, admitting the photos are “extremely surprising” and insisting, “I wouldn’t have put myself in that position if I’d thought it would happen.”

By Halloween, they were fully committed to the bit, dressing as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

2017: They took a break

After more than a year of globe-trotting fun, the duo presses pause in March. Their reps frame it as “a respectful, loving space,” and Perry hops on X (formerly Twitter) to urge everyone to quit villainizing exes, reminding followers that “no one’s a victim or a villain.” A few months later, she tells SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up that “people are in and out of your life,” and it’s nice to keep the good ones close.

By August of that same year, the exes leave an Ed Sheeran concert together, sparking rumors of a reunion.

2018–2019: An engagement and red-carpet debut

The reconciliation became official in early 2018. After quietly meeting Pope Francis in Rome, the couple made their red-carpet debut that September at the Gala for the Global Ocean in Monaco. On Valentine’s Day 2019, Bloom proposes with a pink diamond surrounded by petals. Perry posts the moment with a simple caption—“full bloom”—and an engagement ring that instantly joins the pop-culture hall of fame.

2019–2020: A quarantine baby

Perry’s “Never Worn White” video reveals her baby bump, and an April Instagram video shows Bloom grinning beneath pink frosting as she announces, “It’s a girl.” Daisy Dove Bloom arrives in August, introduced via UNICEF with the proud parents holding their newborn’s tiny hand.

2021–2023: Parenting and family life

The next few years were relatively quiet. Bloom shares a blended-family snap in June 2021, captioning it “FAMILY LOVE” featuring a rare shot with his son Flynn from his previous relationship with Miranda Kerr. Perry cheekily comments, “You forgot to tag me, daddy,” under his Italy vacation slideshow that August. The pair return to the red carpet for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Gala in 2021 and ring in his 45th birthday with her Instagram tribute praising the “kindest, deepest, most soulful, sexy & strong man” she knows.

Katy Perry later credits her fiancé with easing her darker moods on Chelsea Handler’s Dear Chelsea podcast, explaining that “he has this joie de vivre… he gets me out of my head a little bit.”

2024–2025: Tour life, stress, and split rumors

In May 2024, Bloom cheers on Perry’s final American Idol episode over a glam date night in Los Angeles. Yet 2025 tests the partnership. Sources tell People that Perry’s nerves over her 143 album launch and Lifetime’s world tour create “tension” at home, though Bloom initially stands by her.

By mid-June, another People insider paints a bleaker picture, claiming the duo are “pretty much done” after months of breakdown. And now? TMZ is reporting that Bloom plans to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Venice wedding solo while Perry continues her Australian tour dates.

Where things stand now with Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom

On June 26, 2025, PEOPLE confirmed that the couple had ended their relationship. While Perry and Bloom haven’t issued a joint statement, it seems like the writing’s on the wall, though we’ll probably never fully escape updates about their co-parenting dynamic. Looking back, should we have seen this coming?
