Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s breakup became one of the most shocking celebrity breakups of recent times when reports emerged of the duo calling it quits last month. After nearly a decade together, six of which they spent engaged, the news left fans stunned—especially when they factored in the reality that the pair shares a young daughter, Daisy Dove. To top off the shock index, the internet is now ablaze with conjectures of the British actor leaving the singer on her own to parent their child, as he allegedly is already moving on, with a new woman in tow, more often than not.
For those not in the loop, Orlando Bloom recently made headlines for throwing air kisses toward Kim Kardashian
, as well as for embracing a mystery woman
on a boat ride during Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s Venice wedding. Katy Perry, on the other hand, is shouldering motherhood duties while being on the road for her ‘The Lifetime Tour.’ As the latter balances a mic in one hand and tiny sneakers in another, supposedly all on her own, netizens are sounding off their opinions loudly.

Katy Perry has fans impressed by making sure motherhood stays front and center. Even in the midst of chaos, she has kept her four-year-old close by. Emotional stakes hit the ceiling as the singer cried while wrapping up the Australian leg of her tour on June 30, leaving fans even more supportive of her and upset over Orlando Bloom’s fumble.

The contrast could not be starker: as Orlando Bloom lives it up, Katy Perry earns praise for showing up as both a mom and a pop star.

Reactions in favor of Katy Perry range from fans demanding better for her to expressing detest for Orlando Bloom. While the Lord of the Rings
star was one of the most beloved pop culture boyfriends up until recently, the latest dissection of his personality labels him as “annoying,” “disgusting,” “cheater,”
and more. One Perry fan even highlighted how this is the ‘Roar’ hitmaker’s second time dealing with a breakup in the middle of a tour—however, this time it must be extra wearing, with a toddler in tow.

While the general consensus on the matter favored Katy Perry, some on the internet appeared lost, asking when she and Orlando Bloom broke up. One even questioned when Perry had a baby. Meanwhile, another explored the possibility of the couple having the arrangement in place—about Perry having the child—since before the breakup.

Well, whatever the case, Katy Perry’s strength as a mother is not lost on the world, with the majority of reactions on X supporting her. While Orlando Bloom enjoys the single spotlight, Perry carries the weight of work and motherhood, leaving fans to wonder who’s truly thriving and who’s just making noise in the aftermath.
