Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's Secret Split: The Signs Before the Shock

Orlando Bloom's low-key appearance as Katy Perry's much-criticised Blue Origin space flight in April hinted their relationship was already over, weeks before their split emerged

SHOCKING CELEBRITY SPLIT: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's Toxic Relationship Exposed

It's official - after nearly a decade of on-again, off-again romance, pop sensation Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have finally called it quits. But the real question is, what led to their dramatic breakup? Sources close to the couple reveal that the writing was on the wall as far back as April, when Katy's cringe-worthy appearance on the Blue Origin Space Flight sparked an explosive row between the two.

Orlando made a low-key appearance at the historic mission, opting not to steal the spotlight from his fiancée. But insiders claim that he was actually trying to avoid drawing attention to their relationship issues. Little did anyone know, the couple's nine-year romance had been on shaky ground for months, with Katy confiding in friends that their relationship was "as good as done" back in January.

On Wednesday it was revealed that the couple had split after nine years together, with sources since revealing their relationship has been over for months

But what really sealed their fate? Katy's ill-fated space adventure! The singer's bizarre antics, including holding up a daisy in zero gravity and kissing the ground on touchdown, left fans and critics alike gagging. And it seems Orlando wasn't impressed - sources claim he blasted Katy's behavior as "cringeworthy" during an explosive row.

"Katy was hurt by his reaction," says a source close to the couple. "She thought he'd be more supportive, but instead, he criticized her for being 'embarrassing'." The tension between them has been building for months, with Katy feeling increasingly frustrated that Orlando wasn't backing her up on her ambitious projects.

And it gets even juicier! Insiders claim that the couple's busy work schedules have made it impossible to work things out. "They wanted to wait until Katy's tour was over before they made their split official," says a source. But with the pop star still on the road, it seems like the couple has finally decided to go their separate ways.

Orlando was pictured arriving in Venice for pals Jeff and Lauren's wedding on Thursday, and he's set to make his 'single man' debut at Friday's ceremony

So why did Orlando opt to attend Jeff Bezos' star-studded wedding in Venice this weekend? Sources claim that he wanted to make his "single man" debut and move on from the relationship. And Katy? She's staying focused on her tour and taking care of their adorable four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.

But don't be fooled - the drama between Katy and Orlando is far from over. The couple has been renting out their $30 million mansion in Montecito, California to Chris Pratt and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, sparking rumors that they're preparing for a post-breakup separation.

As fans continue to speculate about the reasons behind their breakup, one thing's clear: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship was a toxic mess. With both stars refusing to comment on the split, it seems like they're both eager to move on from the drama. But what really went down between them? We may never know for sure, but one thing's certain - this celebrity breakup is one of the juiciest in recent memory!
