Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom were 'living on an island of stress': Source

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s picture-perfect relationship reportedly crumbled under years of unresolved problems.

For the unversed, PEOPLE magazine revealed last week that the high-profile Hollywood couple's romance has reached its conclusion after nine years of togetherness and welcoming a child, daughter Daisy Dove, in 2020.

A source now told the same about what went wrong in their relationship, claiming, "Katy and Orlando have been suffering through the same problems that have plagued them for years.”

"[They had] too much going on in their lives, which makes it hard to find time for each other and iron out disagreements. When they don’t communicate properly, their relationship dips to a low level,” the insider stated.

Notably, the source went on to add that the California Gurls songstress and the Pirates of the Caribbean star were “living on an island of stress” as “things have been rocky” before their breakup.

Although the pair’s separation took place under “sad and unpleasant” circumstances, both partners have reoriented their priorities towards co-parenting their 4-year-old daughter.

"Sometimes love isn’t enough to keep two people with different styles and outlooks on how things are done [together]. It can overshadow the love,” the insider stated.

It is pertinent to mention that Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom first met with each other while arguing over a burger at a Golden Globes afterparty in 2016, and began dating shortly after their first interaction.
