Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom's Love Ship Hits Troubled Waters: Insider Scoop

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have been engaged since February 14 2019 but may not tie the knot

SCANDALOUS SPLIT: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's Fairytale Romance Crashes Down

As Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos prepares to tie the knot with Lauren Sanchez in a lavish Venice ceremony, sources close to the bride reveal that her friend Katy Perry will be attending - but not without a hint of heartbreak. The pop superstar and her fiancé Orlando Bloom are said to be quietly navigating a breakup, just as Perry's personal life is going up in flames.

The Couple's Rocky Road

According to insiders, Perry and Bloom have been apart for most of the past month, trying to recover from the emotional distress of their relationship. The news comes after reports surfaced that the couple had been struggling to make things work, with some sources claiming they've been "on the rocks" for quite some time.

Perry's Painful Past

For Perry, this latest heartbreak is just a repeat performance of her infamous 2012 divorce from Russell Brand. Remember when Brand texted her to say he was leaving her while she was on tour in Asia? Yeah, it was that bad. This time around, the stress may be taking a toll on her music career, which has been struggling to regain momentum after her lackluster album "143" and subsequent tour.

The Critics Weigh In

One critic went so far as to call Perry's latest single "Woman's World" "genuinely bad," saying it felt like "a high-level pop album being this genuinely bad." Another writer for Slate magazine slammed the album, stating that even a random newcomer would struggle to produce something as underwhelming. No wonder Perry's Lifetimes tour has been panned and some venues are struggling to sell out.

Meanwhile, Orlando Bloom is riding high on his own professional comeback. His new film "Deep Cover" received critical acclaim, and he'll next be seen in Werner Herzog's "Bucking Fastard." With his successful career and close ties to the super-rich set cultivated by US billionaire Barry Diller (which includes Bezos), it seems Bloom is well-equipped to weather any personal storms.

The Wedding Guest of Honor

As Perry navigates this latest crisis, she'll be expected to put on a brave face at the Bezos wedding. Will she make it through the evening without breaking down? Only time will tell. For now, it seems that poor Katy Perry may no longer be wanted on the yacht life with her super-rich friends.
