Recent reports suggest tensions have flared between pop star Katy Perry and her fiancé, actor Orlando Bloom, over her decision to join a Blue Origin space flight. Sources close to the couple say Bloom criticized the venture during a heated argument, calling it “embarrassing” and “cringeworthy.”
According to insiders, Bloom allegedly told Perry that the entire mission “looked ridiculous,” a remark that reportedly left her hurt and disappointed. The disagreement is said to have been compounded by Bloom’s plans to attend a high-profile wedding being hosted in space—a ceremony Perry will miss due to her ongoing tour.
“It really hurt her feelings,” one source shared. “Imagine preparing for a historic journey into space, and your own partner isn’t supportive.”
Earlier this year, Perry publicly stated during a radio interview that Bloom was “all about” her upcoming flight. However, their recent exchange suggests a shift in his stance.
Adding to the tension, the insider continued: “He complains about her going to space, then chooses to attend the wedding hosted by the very people making it possible. They’re spiraling—and even the wedding has become a new source of conflict.”
The couple, who have been engaged since 2019, have faced public scrutiny before, but this space-fueled dispute may be one of their most personal yet.
interpreted Bloom’s decision to attend the ceremony—where many of their mutual friends will be present—as a deliberate snub. “They’re more her friends than his,” a source noted. “And yet he’s the one showing up.”
Neither Perry nor Bloom has publicly addressed the situation. Insiders say ongoing tensions—including the lukewarm reception to Perry’s recent album—have already placed a strain on their relationship. Members of Perry’s camp reportedly view the album’s performance as a major source of emotional stress for the singer.
Amid the growing tension, rumors are now swirling that the couple could be heading for a breakup once Perry’s tour wraps.
