POP STAR KATY Perry and British actor Orlando Bloom have confirmed that they have split, according to a statement released to US media outlets.
The statement, obtained by Hollywood’s People magazine and attributed to representatives for both stars, said the pair “have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting”.
It said their priority would be raising their daughter with “love, stability, and mutual respect” and that they will continue to be seen in public with her.
It comes a week after reports of the couple’s break-up swirled ahead of the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos in Venice, which Bloom attended alone.
Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, have been in a relationship since 2016. The pair split in 2017 but rekindled shortly thereafter, getting engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019, as Perry revealed during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
In 2020, the pair welcomed a daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom.
Bloom and his former wife, Australian model Miranda Kerr, have a son, Flynn, who was born in 2011. Daisy is Perry’s only child.
Perry, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, was previously married to comedian Russell Brand.
Born and raised in California, the 13-time Grammy Award nominee has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010’s sugar-sweet Teenage Dream. The album produced five US number one singles, tying a record set by Michael Jackson’s 1987 album Bad.
Bloom, who is from Canterbury, is best known for his roles as the elf Legolas in The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit films as well as Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean series.
Is the journal going to let us know in a few months what it is?
@James Lyons: * Spoiler Alert*
I can tell you now
Clearly the Journal doesn’t know or ,more likely, is withholding for clickbait purposes – “OMG you have to see this!
What is this super mysterious creature?!!”
Wolves have been crossed with various breeds of dogs. In most US States, they are actually banned. Some of them can be massive and bear like even.
In some countries, e.g. Czechoslovakia, the wolfdog is actually recognised as a breed.
@UK Hurling Bloke: Czechoslovakia does not exist
@Sean Dilligan: It used to. It was a recognised crossbreed between the Czechs and the Slovaks…
@Phil O’ Meara: nice
@UK Hurling Bloke: wow now we have a bigger mystery, someone who existed between world war one and 1992 has time jumped to the present day
@Sean Dilligan: It’s a bit like the direwolf. They existed at one time. Czechoslovakia did exist at one time, but longer exists.
Great. Shoot first then decide if it’s a rare animal or not.
@Duke Auburn: yeah maybe he should have invited it in for a cup of tea instead?!
That’s the yanks fill stop
@Duke Auburn: or let him kill his livestock?
@Marlon Brando: how do you know it’ll like tea?
Looks more like a dog or possibly a wolf hybrid. Certainly not a mysterious creature. You see weirder looking cross breeds for sale on done deal (unfortunately)
@Kev Barnes: Yup!
Clearly a dog…
@Michael: Agreed.
@Michael: It’s a sheep in wolf’s clothing. That or a bunch of cats taped together.
@I like this cushion: ha
@I like this cushion: clearly.
It’s half man, half bear, half pig. Where’s Al Gore when you need him?
@Tom Tom: Nice
@Tom Tom:
3 halves ?
@Tom Tom: EXCELSIOR!!!!
@Mary King: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ManBearPig
@Mary King: yeah its a big animal.
@Mary King: It’s South Park , when Al Gore was warning the World about global warming ,you had to be there .
It’s Caitlin Jenner’s Cat
@Glenn Walsh: I’d say if you had a look at her pussy it wouldn’t be far off that creature alright
@Ryan Kelly: Spot on
@Ryan Kelly: ha ha ha ha ha
Direwolves weren’t fictional. They existed in North America during the Ice Age.
@Al O’Saurus: Shhhh. It’s not as clickbaity if you don’t link it to pop culture instead of the real world.
Mystery? Slow news evening now the 8th Ref posts are exhausted FFS
Laurel. Definitely laurel.
Maybe it’s a Steppenwolf, wasn’t it Born to be Wild ??!!
A Cat Pretending to be a dog .
Fenton!!!!!!
The three little pigs will sleep easy tonight.
Why are coments open on this
@Nicholas Lynch: seriously???? A weird doggy like wolf thing got shot in the States and your idea is that we shouldn’t be permitted to comment on it?? You’d love it in North Korea
People probably seriously do think that it’s possibly a Direwolf.
@Derek Durkin: Well, direwolfs are real, although extinct, animals
Why was this animal killed ?? Could the shooter not used a dart to put it to sleep
@Brían Ó Cionnaith: Probably not the type of things a hunter carry’s .
Contrary to popular belief , hunters eat what they kill .
“direwolf (a mythical super-wolf from the fictional world of Game of Thrones).”
If the author bothered to do proper research they would know that the dire wolf is an extinct species of wolf that was found in North America. It has since become the basis of the creatures in Game of Thrones.
It looks just like a dog. What’s the problem?
Is Arlene foster really a dog. I never would have guessed
@ƃuᴉʞ sᴉ uᴉoɔʇᴉq: Arlene looks a bit like Ramsay Snow…
Where wolf.
@Mary King: As a Nobel Prize winning person who deals with animals , my money’s on it being a deformed starving brown bear .
However , Al Gore knows more than me .
It’s a direwolf from north of the wall the night king is coming :)
“Wolf management specialist?” I’ll have to connect with him on LinkedIn.
turning into the Dailymail.
Arlene is more of a banshee witch
Woof and a fur? It’s gotta be catdog
Pictures are very distasteful especially the one we’re he is high five in the poor creature:/
Drat they killed the Celtic Tiger!!!
We’re all doomed!
@Jarlath Murphy: Fianna Fail did that years ago…….
It’s a wolf dog, just google search wolf dog and loads of animals that look like that come up. Also, direwolves were real, they’re just extinct now. They weren’t that much bigger than grey wolves but had a bigger head and bigger teeth.
Why is this poor dead animal a topic for jokes ?
Can fathom the mentality of people who think a dead animal is cause for hilarity and jest.
Who are the real animals here?
You are sick !
@Jackson: Do you eat hamburgers ?
This rancher was protecting the animals about to be turned into happy meals .
Looks kinda like a fox/wolf/dog to my untrained eye!….
Yawn. It’s a shepherd breed of dog.. most likely a Dutch/Caucasian shepherd mix or similiar.
Poor dog. Wouldn”t it more fascinating to wonder about it alive. (is this a toxic comment? Journal seems to think so . LOL)
My bet is on a German Shepard wolf mix
Hound wolf
Probably just a weird feral dog.
Title should read ‘Man Shoots Dog’
Bloody Americans shoot first ask questions later. Looks like something out of game of thrones
Probably one of Starks.
So let’s kill it anyway…… welcome to the USA……
Coyote / Wolf hybrid I recon .

Coyote / wolf
Hybrid I recon ,direwolf!
Looks like a bad attempt at taxidermy
Man bear pig

God damn werewolves are back.
Quite clearly it’s Sirius Black, as any Harry Potter fan will tell you.
Jackson : Is that a stuffed fox as your profile pic ?
