The pop diva was said to be “upset,” but the end of their nearly-decade-long relationship has been “a long time coming,” sources revealed.
The news of their split sent fans into a frenzy, with some claiming, “they never looked very happy.”

Katy has been spending this month touring in Australia with their daughter, Daisy Dove.
Orlando reportedly joined them over the past week, but things between him and the singer “have been tense for months,” claimed an insider close to the pair.
The source said they have amicably decided to part ways and things are not “contentious at the moment.”

“Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,” the source told Us Weekly.
“It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life,” they added.

The former couple have mostly been apart since the Roar singer kicked off her Lifetimes tour this year. She has been “distracted” and is “keeping busy” with her shows.
Meanwhile, Orlando is reportedly looking to party it up at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding.

A source claimed to TMZ that he might hang out with Leo DiCaprio at the billionaire wedding.
Orlando is “the life of the party and he’s gonna hit the dance floor hard!” a source told the outlet.
“90% of the people at the wedding are kinda boring, but 10% are really fun, including Orlando, Leo and Jeff (Bezos). It’s gonna be a great party!” the source added.

Katy has also been “renting out” her $30 million Westcott Estate in Montecito, California, to actor Chris Pratt and his family, which includes his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger and their three children.
The I Kissed a Girl singer and Orlando “have always lived in their other Montecito home as their primary residence,” the source told Us Weekly.
They were “planning on making the Westcott home their family home but plans have changed,” and they “have been living apart since Katy has been on tour,” the insider added.

Prior to the split announcement, sources claimed that their relationship hit a rough patch after the poor response to Katy’s 143 album that dropped in September.
“Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,” a source told People earlier this month.
“It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension,” they added.

Online reactions to Katy and Orlando’s split have been mixed and brutally honest.
“Always thought Orlando was punching above his weight,” one thought, while others insisted the Teenage Dream singer was the one who fell short.
“She wants someone who’s hot and trending,” read one comment.
“That was a mismatch from the get-go,” one commented on the former couple

“He was only her tail, her puppy! I think he got sick of her,” another quipped.
“I mean…how did it take him this long!” one said.
“She realized he’s not good enough to be married to an astronaut,” said another, taking a dig at Blue Origin’s first all-female space flight that took Katy, Lauren Sánchez, Gayle King, and others miles above Earth.
