<p id=”par-2_50″>In April, Perry joined a group of six women, including Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sanchez and Gayle King, on a trip to outer space. The trip drew <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/katy-perry-celebrities-disgusted-trip-space.html/”>immediate and widespread ridicule</a>.

<p id=”par-3_42″>“From day one, Orlando didn’t think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face backlash,” the source said. “He always thought it was a stupid idea and she wouldn’t get anything positive out of it.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_16″>He reportedly felt “frustrated” and “disappointed” with her decision, as he “knew she would get backlash.”</p>

<p id=”par-5_33″>Several months after the trip, sources say Bloom and Perry have ended their relationship. For a while now, reports have surfaced claiming that the couple is in the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/katy-perry-orlando-blooms-engagement-fragile-psychologist-says-marriage-complex.html/”>midst of a rough patch</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-6_24″>“They have been spending more and more time apart,” a source told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/katy-perry-and-orlando-bloom-grown-apart-amid-wedding-delay/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Us Weekly</a>. “They’ve grown apart and aren’t living the same lives anymore.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_37″>According to another source, “everyone” in the couple’s lives knew they were having problems. Part of this reportedly stemmed from her time away from home as she promoted her new album <em>143,</em> and embarked on a tour.</p>
<p id=”par-8_19″>“Katy has been very busy working, and they are apart often,” the second source said. “That has caused tension.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_23″>The source added that it didn’t help that the couple, who has been engaged since 2019, hasn’t made any plans for a wedding. </p>

In <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/worth-more-katy-perrys-engagement-ring-russell-brand-engagement-ring-orlando-bloom.html/”>2019, Bloom proposed</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-11_10″>Perry later spoke about what led to their temporary breakup. </p>
<p id=”par-12_60″>“We weren’t really in it from day one,” she said on the <em>Call Her Daddy</em> podcast. “He was in a way because he had just done a time of celibacy and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship and I was just like, ‘I can’t do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond.’”</p>
