Celebrity relationships can be like a bumpy roller-coaster ride. Way up one day, crashing down to the ground the next. One of the latest buzzed-about splits involving people from the entertainment field involves actor Orlando Bloom, 48, and former American Idol judge Katy Perry, 40. The two were an item for almost a decade, then apparently their idyll was no more. For his part, Bloom posted about the situation in a hard-to-decipher message.

Per nypost.com via Instagram Story, Bloom wrote, "The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next." Sounds like he is gearing up for a change in his life.
He cited Buddhist writer Daisaku Ikeda for the insight.

Bloom was present on his own at the opulent wedding in Venice of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. Per the outlet, he was in the company of A-listers Leonardo Di Caprio, the Kardashians, Tom Brady, and Sydney Sweeney,

Looking Back At Bloom And Perry's Now-Ended Relationship
While it lasted, the glamorous pair seemed to have it all. They met at a party following the Golden Globe Awards in 2016. Bloom reportedly asked the "Roar" singer to marry him three years later but they never actually tied the knot. The couple welcomed a child, Daisy Dove, five years back.
Per People, their issues were not anything new. According to the outlet, an anonymous source said, "Katy and Orlando have been suffering through the same problems that have plagued them for years. [They had] too much going on in their lives, which makes it hard to find time for each other and iron out disagreements. When they don't communicate properly, their relationship dips to a low level."
That person added that Bloom and Perry were "living on an island of stress. Things have been rocky."
