The Rosé Curse Strikes Again: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's Shocking Split

In a move that has left fans reeling, pop superstar Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have called it quits after nine years together! The news comes as no surprise to those familiar with the notorious "Rosé Curse" - a wild fan theory that claims any celebrity who takes a photo with BLACKPINK's Rosé will soon experience a breakup with their partner. And boy, does this latest development prove that the curse is anything but fictional!

For those unfamiliar, the Rosé Curse gained popularity online after several high-profile celebrity couples experienced splits just months after posing for photos with the K-pop idol. The list of alleged victims includes Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn, Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker, Sabrina Carpenter and Shawn Mendes, Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik, and Florence Pugh and Zach Braff - to name a few.

In the wake of the break-up, social media has gone wild as the recurring theory about the curse of Rosé has resurfaced online [Katy pictured with singer Rosé in January]

So, how does Katy Perry fit into this juicy equation? Well, it all started when the singer met Rosé backstage at the Concert Le Gala Des Pieces in January. Little did fans know that this chance encounter would lead to a breakdown of her relationship with Orlando Bloom just months later!

But here's where things get really interesting: Katy and Orlando had seemingly been going strong for years - despite the occasional rumor about tensions running high. However, insiders claim that Perry's poor-performing album 143, coupled with the backlash she faced after her Blue Origin space trip (yikes!), put "stress" on their relationship.

And if that weren't enough, sources close to the couple reveal that Orlando Bloom would be attending Jeff Bezos' wedding without Katy - a move that has left fans questioning whether the couple's marriage was already on shaky ground. Coincidence or not, the absence of her engagement ring in recent weeks has sparked rumors about their split being anything but amicable.

The Rosé curse is a fan-created online joke-turned-meme that says any big star who takes a photo with BLACKPINK singer Rosé [pictured], 28, will soon experience a breakup with their partner

In related news, Rosé herself has been making waves with her A-list friendships - including a glamorous post with supermodel Gigi Hadid at the Met Gala in September 2021. Just one month later, sources confirmed that Gigi and Zayn Malik had gone their separate ways after six years together!

Fast forward to 2022, when Rosé posed for a photo with none other than Taylor Swift at the VMAs - an encounter that allegedly led to Swift's split from Joe Alwyn just months later! And don't even get us started on Florence Pugh and Zach Braff, who reportedly broke up after posing together at Tiffany & Co.'s Brand Exhibition in June 2022.

It's clear that Rosé has become the go-to celebrity for those seeking a little bad luck (or should we say, good drama?) in their love lives. Whether or not you believe in the curse, one thing is certain: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's shocking split has left fans reeling - and we can't help but wonder what other juicy secrets this star-studded saga might still hold!

There is no evidence that the singer has anything to do with the demise of celebrity relationships, but that hasn't stopped fans making playful observations [Rose, far left, pictured with bandmates Lisa, Jisoo and Jennie L-R]
