Earlier, while confirming their separation, a rep for the celebs said, “Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is, and always will be, raising their daughter with love and respect.”

Perry reportedly also has a good bond with Bloom’s older son, Flynn, 14, from his previous marriage to Miranda Kerr. Miranda also recently spoke about the family situation, revealing that Katy and Orlando “were getting along well” and that they celebrated Daisy’s birthday together as “one big happy family.” Speaking on KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show, she added, “Katy is amazing, I love her. And Orlando, obviously.” She continued, “It was important that they all keep things harmonious for the kids. If you do have animosity, it only hurts yourself.”

While Friday marked the first time Bloom directly addressed his breakup with Perry, he had been dropping hints about his thoughts and feelings for weeks via his Instagram stories. Earlier, he shared inspiring quotes about “loneliness and fining balance between happiness and sadness.” On the work front, he is focused on The Cut, a movie about an ex-boxer looking for redemption. The role demanded extreme dedication, and Bloom transformed his physique, losing 30 pounds in three months. Speaking about the process, he said it was mentally and physically draining, but ultimately rewarding.
