Orlando Bloom, the British actor best known for his roles in blockbuster franchises like Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings, has broken his silence after his recent split from pop superstar Katy Perry. Appearing on the TODAY show on September 5, 2025, Bloom offered a candid look at how he’s coping in the wake of the end of their nearly decade-long, on-and-off relationship, and emphasized the enduring bond he and Perry share through their daughter, Daisy Dove.
“I’m great, man. I’m so grateful. We have the most beautiful daughter,” Bloom told TODAY’s Craig Melvin, radiating a sense of calm and gratitude. “You know, when you leave everything on the field, like I did in this movie, I feel grateful for all of it. And we’re great. We’re going to be great. It’s nothing but love.” His words, as reported by TODAY.com and echoed by AAP, paint a picture of mutual respect and acceptance despite the challenges of a high-profile breakup.
The couple, who first began dating in 2016, have experienced their share of highs and lows. After an initial split in 2017, they rekindled their romance about a year later. Their engagement, which took place on Valentine’s Day in 2019, was a headline-making event, with Perry later announcing her pregnancy in March 2020 through the music video for her song “Never Worn White.” Their daughter, Daisy Dove, was born in August 2020, a moment both have described as transformative and deeply meaningful.
But even as their family grew, rumors swirled that the relationship had hit rocky ground. According to People, insiders alleged that Bloom and Perry’s partnership had been “breaking down the last couple of months and isn’t looking good,” foreshadowing the eventual announcement of their split. On July 3, 2025, representatives for both stars released a joint statement to TODAY.com, confirming what many had speculated: “Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”
For fans who have followed their journey, the news was bittersweet. Yet, both Bloom and Perry have made it clear that their daughter remains at the center of their world. A source told People, “Katy has every intention of maintaining a positive and respectful relationship with Orlando. He’s the father of their daughter and that will always come first for her. They’ve been through a lot together and while they’ve decided to go their separate ways, there’s still a mutual respect between them. They’re still very much in touch and co-parenting Daisy together. For the sake of their daughter, they’re committed to keeping things amicable.”
This commitment to family harmony extends beyond just Bloom and Perry. Bloom’s ex-wife, Australian model Miranda Kerr, has also spoken warmly about the blended family dynamic. In an interview on “Kyle & Jackie O” on September 3, 2025, Kerr revealed that she had recently spent time with both Bloom and Perry to celebrate Daisy’s birthday on August 26. “I actually just saw them both on the weekend,” Kerr said. “We were celebrating Daisy’s birthday.” She added, “We’re one big, happy family. Katy is amazing. I love her. And Orlando, obviously.”
Bloom, who is also father to 14-year-old Flynn from his marriage to Kerr, seems to have embraced the role of co-parent with open arms. His words and actions suggest a man intent on fostering a supportive environment for his children, regardless of the changes in his romantic life. For Perry, the breakup hasn’t slowed her professional momentum. She has continued her “Lifetimes Tour,” connecting with fans across the globe and channeling her energy into her music.
Meanwhile, Bloom has thrown himself into his latest project, the boxing drama The Cut, which premiered in theaters on September 5. During his appearance on TODAY, he drew a parallel between his dedication to the film and his approach to life’s challenges. “You know when you leave everything on the field like I did in this movie? I feel grateful for all of it,” he said, hinting at a sense of closure and acceptance that comes from giving one’s all—whether in art, love, or parenting.
Their story, though marked by the kinds of ups and downs familiar to many couples, has unfolded under the relentless scrutiny of the public eye. Yet, both Bloom and Perry have managed to keep their focus firmly on what matters most: the well-being of their daughter. The joint statement from their representatives underscored this point, emphasizing their shared priority of raising Daisy “with love, stability and mutual respect.”
It’s a sentiment echoed by those close to the couple. “They’re pretty much done, they don’t really see them being able to turn things around here,” a source told People, referencing the breakdown of the relationship. But the same source emphasized that co-parenting remains a guiding principle for both. The willingness to remain “very much in touch and co-parenting Daisy together” is, in many ways, a testament to their maturity and commitment to family, even as their romantic partnership comes to a close.
For Bloom, gratitude seems to be the prevailing emotion. “Nothing but love,” he reiterated on TODAY, a phrase that has resonated with fans and observers alike. It’s a reminder that even when relationships end, respect and affection can endure—especially when there’s a child at the center of it all.
Perry, for her part, has not made extensive public comments since the split, but her continued professional activity and presence at family celebrations suggest a similar focus on moving forward with grace. The couple’s ability to come together for Daisy’s birthday, joined by Kerr, signals a modern approach to family—one that prioritizes unity and support over conflict and division.
As Bloom and Perry navigate this new chapter, their story offers a glimpse into the complexities of love, loss, and family in the spotlight. Through it all, their shared message is clear: Daisy comes first, and there’s still plenty of love to go around, even if it looks a little different than before.
