What did Katy Perry say about the Orlando Bloom split?
Perry told People the year around the breakup was “really hard.” Page Six reported she and Bloom had been together nearly a decade before they parted in June 2025.
The Lifetimes tour began in April 2025. In July, representatives for the former couple confirmed the end of the relationship in a joint statement to Page Six. Perry was in Australia at the time, according to People.
“It was probably the hardest time. My friends were all hanging out back home. I was crying and just feeling far away,” she said. “But then my angels went to work. They really showed up.”
Daisy joined her on the road. Perry said that was “good for her” because Daisy sees her mom being strong, adding that “not every day was easy.”
She kept performing and said she “learned how to step back into [her] purpose.” Looking back, she said she “wouldn’t have stayed in something for nine years if there [weren’t] really important things to learn,” and that “each relationship is a teacher.” She added, “I had to let it go so I could move forward.”
How did Katy Perry describe Justin Trudeau?
“And I got the greatest gift from this tour: I got to meet the love of my life,” Perry said, referring to Trudeau, whom she said she met while on the road.
Page Six reported the pair were first linked shortly after she and Bloom called it quits, when they were spotted having dinner in Montreal. She confirmed she was dating someone else in October 2025 during a concert in Prague, after a fan held a sign asking her to marry him. She replied, “No, I am dating someone else, for crying out f–king loud.”
Perry said she had always wanted an “epic, legendary love” and had discussed that with her therapist. “Everything in my life is epic, but this is kind of the missing puzzle piece — then it showed up,” she said of the romance.
She described the relationship as “super healing.” “He knows the words, he’s supportive and he’s in awe,” she said. “He is really heart-centered, and I think that we align in that way. I’m so grateful.” Trudeau had previously been spotted in the crowd during her tour.
What has Orlando Bloom done since the split?
Bloom was most recently connected to Swiss model Luisa Laemmel, 28, after they were photographed leaving the Super Bowl in February, Page Six reported.
Perry’s comments frame the split as a painful chapter that hit during a demanding tour, not a takedown of her ex. She credited friends she called “angels,” her daughter’s presence on the road, and the new relationship with helping her move forward.
The People interview, as summarized by Page Six, is her clearest public account yet of that stretch: a hard year on tour, a confirmed breakup in mid-2025, and a romance she now calls the love of her life.
