Like many celebrities this summer, Katy Perry is enjoying a vacation on a luxury yacht in Europe. But unlike most, she's just gone through a sensational breakup with her longtime partner, Orlando Bloom, so, as expected, everyone is trying to figure out how she's getting through this period.
In photos published by the Daily Mail , the singer is seen relaxing in a bikini and spending time with a "mystery man" on board.
These photos come just days after Katy and Orlando confirmed their split with a joint statement to the media:
"Orlando and Katy have changed the nature of their relationship in recent months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to appear together as a family, as their shared priority has been and will remain raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect."
Meanwhile, sources close to the couple continue to comment on the reasons that led to the split. One of them told People that:
"Katy and Orlando have long faced the same problems. Both have had many commitments and have not found the right time for each other, which makes it difficult to resolve disagreements. When communication does not work, the relationship falls to its lowest point."
The source also added that the couple has been living "on an island of stress" and that:
"Sometimes, love alone is not enough to hold two people with different lifestyles and different perspectives together. This can also dull feelings."
Despite the separation, they emphasize that they will continue to be present in each other's lives as parents, with the goal of raising their daughter with love.
