“For the sake of our daughter, Daisy, we’ve been transitioning our relationship to focus on co-parenting with love, stability, and mutual respect,” the statement read. “We will continue to be seen together as a family, as she remains our shared priority.” The announcement follows visible strains, with Perry spotted without her engagement ring during her ongoing Lifetimes tour, and Bloom attending events solo, as noted in recent X posts from fans like @KatyCats_Unite.

Perry, known for hits like Teenage Dream, was previously married to comedian Russell Brand (2010-2012), while Bloom, famed for The Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean, shares a son with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
