Rumors of the longtime couple’s split had been circulating for weeks, but the news was confirmed by Us Weekly, which cited an anonymous source:
“Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable. 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.”
The insider also shared that the breakup has been:
“A long time coming”
That things “have been tense for months”
And they’ve been “living apart since Katy has been on tour.”
Currently, Katy is said to be “keeping busy” and “distracted.”

He continued:
“I think when you are in a deeply loving, committed relationship, you want to control or own or have and, you know, even just letting go of ideas, how things should be, or the idea of what intimacy or intimate moments are to you versus them, or whatever it may be.”
