Katy Perry won’t be attending Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in Venice, and the reason isn’t what some people might think.
While some have speculated that Perry’s absence is because of her recent split from ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom, a source has confirmed to PEOPLE that she was never planning to attend the wedding in the first place.
Katy Perry’s Tour Schedule
Perry, 40, is currently on The Lifetimes Tour, which was announced in September 2024. Her busy tour schedule is keeping her occupied with back-to-back performances in Adelaide, Australia, over the same weekend as the wedding.
TMZ previously reported that Perry’s tour dates overlapped with the wedding, and this has been confirmed by PEOPLE.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s Breakup
While Katy Perry isn’t attending the wedding, her ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom was spotted at the event. Perry and Bloom, who had been engaged for a while, have officially called it quits. A source told PEOPLE that their relationship had been falling apart for months, and there seemed to be no chance of reconciliation.
Katy Perry’s Involvement in the Wedding Preparations
Although she won’t be attending the wedding, Perry was still involved in some of the pre-wedding celebrations. She joined Lauren Sánchez for her bachelorette party in Paris in mid-May, showing her support for the bride-to-be.
The party was a relaxed, Parisian celebration, with a dinner at Lafayette’s in Paris on May 15, followed by a river cruise with 12 of Sánchez’s friends.
Orlando Bloom at the Wedding
Orlando Bloom, 48, was spotted in Venice on June 26, wearing black sportswear, including gym shorts and a workout vest. He was photographed warmly greeting Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and their mother Kris Jenner at the luxurious Gritti Palace hotel, just before the wedding.
What’s Next for Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom?
Earlier this month, a source revealed that Perry and Bloom’s relationship was “pretty much done,” adding that it had been falling apart for months and there wasn’t much hope for a reconciliation.
