Melbourne, Australia — Pop star Katy Perry has ignited speculation about the status of her relationship with actor Orlando Bloom after being spotted without her engagement ring during a recent nightclub appearance in Melbourne.
Perry, currently in Australia for her Lifetimes tour, was seen enjoying a night out at Poof Doof, a popular LGBTQ+ venue, over the weekend. The singer appeared in high spirits, mingling with fans and handing out drinks. However, eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed the absence of her distinctive engagement ring—previously known for its large, floral-inspired design—replaced instead with a simple silver band.
The sighting follows a series of recent developments that have fueled rumors of a potential split between Perry and Bloom. During a performance in Sydney last week, the 39-year-old singer performed her 2008 ballad I’m Still Breathing, a track widely interpreted as a breakup anthem. Before singing, Perry paused to address the audience, referencing the song’s emotional weight and joking that a TimTam chocolate biscuit had “saved” her during a breakup.
“This song is about a break-up, and this TimTam saved me,” Perry told the Sydney crowd, further stoking fan speculation online.
Neither Perry nor Bloom has publicly addressed the breakup rumors. However, unnamed sources have suggested to outlets including PEOPLE and Page Six that the couple may have experienced strain in recent months.
According to one source cited by PEOPLE, Perry was “deeply frustrated” with the critical reception to her new album, which reportedly led to heightened stress. “Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension,” the source said.
Another insider claimed that the singer’s recent tour antics, which have received mixed reviews online, may have added to the pressure. “It’s put stress on their relationship,” the source noted.
A third source reportedly told Page Six that “it’s over” and that the couple is waiting until the end of the Lifetimes tour to formally announce a split.
Perry, known for hits like Teenage Dream and California Gurls, has been engaged to Bloom since 2019. The couple share a daughter, Daisy Dove, born in 2020. The two have previously weathered ups and downs in their relationship, having briefly split before reuniting and becoming engaged.
Despite the mounting speculation, some fans believe the missing ring may have a more benign explanation. “She might simply be keeping it safe while touring,” one fan wrote on social media, echoing a sentiment shared across fan forums.
Until either party confirms or denies the rumors, fans are left to speculate—many hoping that the relationship remains intact.
