Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom’s friends weigh in on break up

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are reportedly broken up and the pair’s companions have reacted to the shocking news.

The duo, who has been together for nine years, has allegedly hit a rough patch due the difficulties the Firework singer is facing in her professional life.

According to a source close to the two, the couple is definitely spending time away from each other, they told the media outlet, Us Weekly.

“Their friends don’t know if they are permanently split, “the insider added that they had taken a break from each other a few times before, “but they’ve always worked it out before.”

Meanwhile a different source told the outlet that Katy and Orlando had been spending a lot of time apart because of the Hot N Cold hitmaker’s ongoing Lifetimes tour.

This has “caused tension” between the pair, who has not publicly confirmed the split as of right now.

However, in a recent appearance at the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, the Carnival Row actor seemed cheery as he sat beside rapper Biggie Smalls.

Notably, the 48-year-old’s live show interview came out after reports broke out of his break up with The One That Got Away crooner.

Has Katy Perry commented on the breakup?

No, Katy Perry has not addressed the split directly, but fans believe she hinted at it during the Australian leg of her tour.
