What the heck happened?! After over a year of dating, Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom are, as the cool kids say, “taking a break.” We all know what that means. After all, Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield did the same thing before eventually calling it quits all together. (We’re still holding out hope for them, though, especially after this Academy Awards season. But we digress…)
“Before rumors or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time,” both of their reps said in a statement to People.
While it’s not uncommon for celebrity couples to split up — heck, Orlando & Katy are both divorced from other stars — the timing is awfully strange, considering the 40-year-old Lord of the Rings actor and 32-year-old “Chained to the Rhythm” singer were just spotted together at the annual Vanity Fair Oscars party on Sunday. Guess they were simply keeping up appearances. But, then again, according to one report, “Katy didn’t spend much time with Orlando” at the event. “They got together for a photo, but that was about it.”
The Oscars event was four days after OB was spotted getting cozy with a woman named Erin McCabe at the Global Green pre-Oscars party in Hollywood. Supposedly, the woman swapped her place card to sit next to the famed actor, and they chatted each other up not so innocently. Hmm…
Of course, Orlando’s known to get close to other women, despite having a girlfriend. Remember when he was spotted getting touchy-feely with Selena Gomez last year? KP chose not to believe the buzz then, but, perhaps, Erin was the last straw.

Katy Perry now has the chance to add more names to her dating timeline:
Travie McCoy
Katy and Travie dated when Katy was just becoming a star. Their relationship lasted two years, from 2007 to 2009, which means they were together when her first big hit, "I Kissed A Girl," was officially released. Meanwhile, Travie was the lead singer for Gym Class Heroes, and KP was even in the music video for "Cupid's Chokehold," one of the band's biggest hits.

Katy and Josh are rumored to have had a short-term relationship in the spring of 2009. Although the Opera singer says they were just "very good friends" and "hit it off because we[they're] both goofballs," he told Details magazine that they "might have skated on the line of dating."

Russell has been pretty honest about the strains of his marriage to Katy, but he's been careful to speak of her with total respect. The couple was super in love when they wed in 2010, but by the end of 2011, they filed for divorce. The comedian explained in an interview with Howard Stern, "I was really, really in love with her, but it was difficult to see each other..."
Although the distance ultimately caused their demise, the 41-year-old has no hard feelings toward his ex. "I don't want anything to hurt her. She's younger than me; she's a young woman and she's beautiful and she's sensitive and I care about her deeply."

Katy and Robert are rumored to have briefly dated in 2012, after the Twilight star's dramatic split from Kristen Stewart and KP's divorce. However, neither of them has confirmed or denied the hookup.

Honestly, who even knows when these two are on or off? (Okay, they're definitely off now, but it took a while to be sure!) Katy and John "officially" dated from 2012 to 2014 and his brief fling with Taylor Swift in 2009 is rumored to be part of the reason why the two singers don't get along. SO. MUCH. DRAMA. Anyway...even though the two singers collaborated on "Who You Love," they kept relatively quiet on their romance, which is why John didn't want to speak too much about their split.
"Listen, it was a very private relationship going in," the 38-year-old said on The Ellen Show. "It was a private relationship during, and it's a private relationship, still."

Diplo
Katy and the DJ dated for almost a year, from April 2014 to March 2015, before they called it quits. Although no one knows the specifics surrounding their breakup, sources say Diplo was seen getting flirty with Taylor Swift at the 2015 Grammy Awards, which occurred before he and Katy formally split! He and Taylor had feuded via Twitter months earlier, but apparently Taylor was ready to move on &mdash or just tick off Katy.

This one was never confirmed, but we hope it's true! Katy and Jared are rumored to have dated in April 2014, shortly after her breakup with Diplo. Although things obviously didn't go further their their Coachella hang sesh, we definitely could have seen this quirky duo together!

If you're Katy Perry, why not date one of Hollywood's all-time hottest? She and Orlando have been dating since January 2016, and the relationship is still going strong (especially judging from those nude vacation pics)!
