Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom shocked fans when it was announced that they had quietly ended their engagement after nearly a decade together on-and-off.
The couple first met in 2016 and announced their engagement on Valentine's Day 2019. However, just before they were due to appear at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Venice, it was reported that they had separated, later confirmed by their representatives.
However, it looks like there's still plenty of love between the pair, at least as a family unit, as evidenced by new photos shared by the English actor, 48, on social media.

Orlando took to his Instagram page with a collection of photos from his time in Italy, also featuring very rare images with his two children, his son Flynn, 14, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr, and his daughter Daisy, four, with Katy.
Flynn, Daisy and Orlando posed for photos together on a terrace overlooking the water at a restaurant in Portofino, with the teen playfully holding onto his younger half sister, his dad obscuring his face with an emoji.
It's clear still that Flynn has inherited much of his parents' striking looks, sporting a shock of dark hair just like his dad's and even dressed similarly in a baggy t-shirt and shorts.

A family portrait
One photo saw Orlando and the two kids pose with Katy, 40, herself, with Daisy climbing onto her dad's shoulders and embracing her mom, with Flynn adoringly looking up at her. The family-of-four looked to be in complete bliss on the yacht, which is where they were spotted vacationing with the newlyweds just days ago.
"Dump 4 ya," the Elizabethtown actor captioned his snap, with fans leaving responses like: "Beautiful trip with fam," and: "These two are amazing parents! Sometimes love and a family deserves a second chance," as well as: "Life is made up of happy moments and family is the basis!!! Enjoy!!!!"

All the love
A joint statement shared last week confirmed that the couple had indeed decided to end their relationship amid reports that it was over.
"Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship," the statement began, "representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting."
© Instagram"They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is, and always will be, raising their daughter Daisy Dove with love, stability, and mutual respect."
The couple's decision to part ways also became a major topic of conversation in the wake of Orlando's cryptic posts on social media about "loneliness," and a particularly emotional moment during Katy's tour when she was seen holding back tears onstage. Watch that moment in the video below...
