ALBAWABA - Katy Perry ’s absence from Bezos-Sanchez wedding sparks breakup rumors online.
As Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos prepare to exchange vows in a three-day celebration in Venice, Italy, later this month, everyone's attention is focused on the guest list and one A-list couple in particular. Actor Orlando Bloom is apparently going to the wedding alone, according to TMZ, which has led to fresh rumors over his relationship with Katy Perry.
The engaged couple, who have been together since 2016, have reportedly been through a difficult time lately. Orlando's decision to go to Lauren Sanchez's wedding without Katy Perry is now drawing further criticism.

Given her recent intimacy with Lauren Sanchez, Katy Perry's absence is especially noteworthy. Together with their boyfriends, the two women have taken multiple summer vacations in Europe, enjoying sunny days in Italy and Croatia. They appeared to have a smooth relationship, both leading fulfilling lives and finding common ground beyond the spotlight.
But that relationship isn't limited to social networks. Perry was one of several invited to participate in a planned all-female mission, while Sanchez, as vice chair of Blue Origin, has garnered media attention for supporting female-led space efforts. Perry's absence from Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding in Venice, therefore, raises eyebrows and provokes questions about the current situation as well as the logistics of the tour in light of that past.

Despite their friendship, insiders claim that Katy Perry has previous tour commitments that will prevent her from attending Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding.
Perry's current tour of Australia includes dates that directly coincide with the June 24–26 wedding, with shows in Adelaide on June 26 and Perth on June 22 and 23.
It's intriguing to note that the latter performances were added to her tour after the original announcement but months before the wedding details were made public, indicating that there was no deliberate omission.

However, the timing has sparked speculation, particularly in light of rumors that the pair has been going through a difficult time. Insiders reveal that the unsatisfactory reception to her most recent album, 143, released in September, left Perry feeling overwhelmed and irritated.
After the reaction to her new album, Katy was really irritated. She was really stressed out by it," a source told PEOPLE. "There was some tension, but Orlando was understanding." "She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews," said another insider. Their relationship is under stress as a result.
Although there are still rumors circulating, a source informed the Daily Mail that a breakup is not likely to happen very soon: Though it's not too late, the rumors of a difficult period are accurate. They both want to solve the problem and are aware that they need to fix it.

The 48-year-old actor, who will not be accompanied by Katy Perry, is anticipated to attend the wedding of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos alone and socialize with a glittering array of monarchs, business titans, and celebrities. Fans hope Katy's absence is merely a scheduling conflict and not an indication of more serious issues, but given Sanchez and Perry's shared past, it's likely to be felt.
