Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are just among the many celebrity couples who had been hit with the heartbreak epidemic taking Hollywood this year. The pair has just reportedly separated.

Perry and Bloom took the world by surprise when they first appeared as a couple eight months ago. The two surprised their fans even more this week when reports of their split made it to the news.

In Touch Weekly confirms the celebrity couple split. On the other hand, the report could not confirm who initiated the break up. The estranged couple allegedly grew apart and so they had to go their separate ways.

One source told the tabloid it was the 32-year-old pop star who ended the relationship. Perry felt she and Bloom do not share the same life path anymore. The "Dark Horse" singer once kidded that traffic may just end her romance with Bloom as it was too taxing to drive to visit her boyfriend at the time.

However, a person close to "The Lord of the Rings" star claimed that part of what caused the split was Bloom's foot-dragging to commit to a lifelong relationship. It was Bloom who had to end their romance because of this.

Meanwhile, amid the separation speculations, the 39-year-old actor was seen with a new lady pal on Tuesday. According to Mirror, the "Troy" actor left SoHo House in Malibu with the yet-to-be-identified woman.

The report stated that when Bloom spotted photographers, he tried to hide his face. Too late though because he was already seen. He hopped in the passenger seat of a black car while the lady pal took the driver's seat. Witnesses said that the pair had a lunch at the famous restaurant.

Both Perry and Bloom were previously married. The British actor tied the knot with model Miranda Kerr,in 2010. Their marriage ended in 2013. Orlando has a son with Kerr.

On the other hand, the "Roar" singer also married comedian Russell Brand in 2010. Brand filed for divorce in 2012.
