Katy Perry has opened up about her split from her ex-fiance Orlando Bloom, calling it “probably the hardest time”. The “Firework” singer, 41, and the British Pirates of the Caribbean actor ended their relationship in 2025 after nine years together. They share a six-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.
In a new interview with People magazine, Perry recalled being in Australia when the news of the split became public. ”My friends were all hanging out back home. I was crying and just feeling far away. But then my angels went to work.
They really showed up,” she said. Just weeks after her parting from Bloom was revealed, Perry met her current partner, former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau. Discussing the conclusion of her time with Bloom, Perry added: “I wouldn’t have stayed in something for nine years if there wasn’t really important things to learn.
Each relationship is a teacher, right? I always wanted this epic legendary love, and I was talking to my therapist about it: Everything in my life is epic, but this is kind of the missing puzzle piece – then it showed up.” Bloom previously addressed the end of their relationship during an appearance on the Today show, emphasising that he and Perry remain on good terms.

Perry and Trudeau, 55, first sparked romance rumours in July after they were seen dining together at a restaurant in Montreal, Canada. The following night, Trudeau was spotted in the crowd at Perry’s Lifetime Tour concert in the city with his teenage daughter. The pair went public with their relationship in October 2025.
