ORLANDO BLOOM SETS SIGHTS ON NEW ADVENTURES AFTER KATY PERRY SPLIT

The curtain has finally fallen on Orlando Bloom's tumultuous relationship with Katy Perry, and the actor is ready to start a new chapter in his life. According to sources close to the couple, the pair started to drift apart towards the end of last year, and by the New Year, it was "easier to live their individual lives instead of a life together."

The news comes as no surprise to fans who had been speculating about the state of the couple's relationship for months. Bloom, 48, and Perry, 40, had been going strong since they first met at a Golden Globes party in 2016. They got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019, with Bloom presenting Perry with a stunning flower-shaped rock worth $5 million. The couple welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in August 2020.

The couple, who were last pictured together at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in March, weathered weeks of split rumors before their beak up was confirmed by PEOPLE this week

However, it seems that the demands of their busy careers and personal lives took a toll on the relationship. "They had broken up before and in the following years things could get tense and to a point where it was often make or break, and they would choose to make up," an insider told The Scholarly Note.com. But this time around, it seems that the couple has reached a point of no return.

Bloom appeared to hint at troubles last year when he spoke about the challenges of balancing his career with his personal life. "She definitely demands that I evolve and I feel I do the same for her," he said in an interview. "That makes for fireworks, pardon the pun, but it also makes for a lot of fun and a lot of growth."

Perry's high-profile split from Russell Brand in 2011 was far more dramatic, with the comedian calling off their marriage via text message on New Year's Eve just minutes before Perry was set to perform. The singer later described her ex-husband as "very controlling," adding that she felt like she was living in a "prison."

‘After the holidays and into the New Year, it was just one little thing after another and it became easier to live their individual lives instead of a life together,' a source said (both pictured in Venice 2021)

As Bloom navigates this new chapter in his life, he's reportedly feeling a sense of relief at no longer having to hide his relationship turmoil. And what better way to celebrate than by partying with friends and fellow celebrities? The actor has been spotted rubbing shoulders with the likes of Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady at Jeff Bezos' $20 million wedding extravaganza in Venice, Italy.

But don't worry, fans – Bloom's not planning on leading a "playboy" lifestyle anytime soon. According to sources, he's simply happy to be out and about, living life as his "normal self." And who can blame him? After all the drama and stress of maintaining a high-profile relationship, it's only natural that he wants to take some time for himself.

For Perry, meanwhile, she's got her music tour to focus on. The singer is currently halfway through a four-night residency in Adelaide, Australia, before heading back to America for the US leg of her Lifetimes Tour. And let's be real – who wouldn't want to escape the drama and heartbreak of a high-profile split with a little bit of globe-trotting?

As the dust settles on this tumultuous chapter in their lives, one thing is clear: Bloom and Perry are both ready to move forward and focus on what's truly important – their daughter, Daisy Dove. And who knows? Maybe someday they'll even find a way to co-parent without any drama or stress. After all, as the saying goes, "hurt people hurt people" – but it seems that these two have finally found a way to put their differences aside and prioritize their little girl.
