    Katy has been spending this month touring in Australia and was joined by their daughter Daisy Dove for a concert stop in Perth.

    Orlando reportedly joined them over the past week, but things “have been tense for months,” an insider close to the pair claimed.

    The source said they have amicably decided to part ways.

    “Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,” the source told Us Weekly.

    “It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life,” they added.

    The former couple have mostly been apart since the Roar singer kicked off her Lifetimes tour this year. She has been “distracted” and is “keeping busy” with her shows, the source said.

    Meanwhile, Orlando is reportedly looking to party it up at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding.

    A source claimed to TMZ that he might hang out with Leo DiCaprio at the billionaire wedding.

    Orlando is “the life of the party and he’s gonna hit the dance floor hard!” a source told the outlet.

    “90% of the people at the wedding are kinda boring, but 10% are really fun, including Orlando, Leo and Jeff (Bezos). It’s gonna be a great party!” the source added.

    Katy has also been “renting out” her $30 million Westcott Estate in Montecito, California, to actor Chris Pratt and his family, which includes his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger and their three children.

    The I Kissed a Girl singer and Orlando “have always lived in their other Montecito home as their primary residence,” the source told Us Weekly.

    They were “planning on making the Westcott home their family home but plans have changed,” and they “have been living apart since Katy has been on tour,” the insider added.

    Prior to the split announcement, sources claimed that their relationship hit a rough patch after the poor response to Katy’s 143 album that dropped in September.

    “Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,” a source told People earlier this month.

    “It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension,” they added.

    “She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It’s put stress on their relationship,” a second source told the outlet.

    A source told Us Weekly in June that they have been “spending more and more time apart.”

    “They’ve grown apart and aren’t living the same lives anymore,” they added.
