KATY Perry and Orlando Bloom have recently endured a ‘rough patch’ with the pair also embroiled in a tense period ahead of their wedding.
The couple, who have been engaged since February 2019, welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove Bloom in August 2020, and have since been planning their wedding.
But despite plans in motion, Katy is said to be “stressed” after her last album launch with “stress” putting strain on the relationship between her and her husband.
An insider has told People that the couple have endured a “rough patch” after she was disappointed with the reception for her album 143, which came out last September.
“Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,” a source told the outlet.
They explained how it made her “very stressed” and despite Orlando being “understanding” it did cause “some tension”.
A second source then revealed: “She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It’s put stress on their relationship.”
Meanwhile, a source speaking to Us Weekly stated: “They have been spending more and more time apart.
“They’ve grown apart and aren’t living the same lives anymore.”
‘WEDDING DATE NEVER SET’
A different insider then told the outlet that despite having been engaged for six years, the two superstars never set a date for their nuptials.
The source claimed that they “never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything”.
They also claimed “Orlando is ‘over it’,” adding that “things aren’t good”.
The U.S. Sun approached both Katy and Orlando’s representatives for comment.

Orlando announced Katy by her real name as he presented her with the iconic Vanguard award at the ceremony on September 12.
Fans were stunned when Orlando, whom Katy has been in a relationship with since 2016, announced the winner of the award as Katheryn Hudson.
