More details have emerged about Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's split. Quick recap: Us Weekly confirmed that the pair have broken off their engagement amid months of tension, and that they plan on coparenting their daughter in Montecito.
Meanwhile, a source tells The Sun that things have actually been over for a while. "Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their relationship was as good as done," the insider said. "They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter. But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin."
The source added that Katy "knew that taking off her engagement ring would send a clear message. It’s been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation."
Apparently the split has been a "massive shock" to friends since "everyone thought that they were tighter than tight." And speaking of the couple's inner circle, a source previously told Us Weekly that "Their friends don’t know if they are permanently split," and that "The first time they broke up it was about two years after they got together. It’s happened a few times, but they’ve always worked it out before."
Neither Katy nor Orlando have spoken out about their breakup, but stay tuned I guess!
