THE RUNDOWN
- Katy Perry won’t be at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Venice wedding this weekend—but not because of her recent breakup with Orlando Bloom, who is attending.
- Perry has work commitments in Australia.
- Sánchez shared a public message to Perry on Friday after the singer shared photos of herself in Australia.
Katy Perry’s ex-fiancé, Orlando Bloom, has been in Venice, Italy, this week for the wedding of their friends Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. Perry won’t be joining the weekend nuptials—but not because of any drama between her and Bloom.
Perry has to work: She is performing at Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Australia on June 26, 27, 29, and 30 as part of her Lifetimes Tour. After her Adelaide shows, the singer will get a little break before her next concert date on July 10 at Denver’s Ball Arena.
On Friday, Sánchez posted a message of support on Perry’s Instagram. The singer shared a carousel of photos documenting her time in Australia, which included some yacht and zoo time. “Mood: Quokka,” Perry wrote. Sánchez commented, “We miss you Katy ❤️”
Earlier this week, sources revealed that Perry and Bloom had ended their six-year engagement. On Thursday, an insider told People that “the split is amicable. They got to a point where they feel there is no going back to a healthy relationship and that it’s better to live separate lives.”
It’s been a difficult period for Perry, the source added: “She’s felt a lot of pressure about her tour and now this. It’s been a lot for her. She’s still doing great though.”
She and Bloom are now focused on co-parenting their 4-year-old daughter, Daisy. “Katy has every intention of maintaining a positive and respectful relationship with Orlando,” a source explained to People. “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.”
While Perry isn’t at the wedding, many celebrities are. Stars spotted in Venice for the nuptials so far include Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Sydney Sweeney, Tom Brady, and Oprah Winfrey.
