In sad breakup news of the day, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have unfortunately called it quits.

The two got ahead of any rumors by releasing a statement to People to announce their breakup—or rather, "taking respectful, loving space at this time," which basically sounds like a longwinded way of saying conscious uncoupling.

Perry and Bloom began dating just over a year ago, and gave us plenty of glimpses into their lives, including nude paddle-boarding and Tamagotchi parenting goals.

Both posed for photos together on Sunday at the Vanity Fair Party following the 89th Academy Awards, but according to People, did not spend much time together at the event.

To some on Twitter, the announcement of the split was the first they had heard of any sort of relationship between the celebrities.

Regardless, the signs were all there. Bloom even shared a picture with Perry's puppy Monday, but alas, sometimes furry friends can't save us from everything.
