Katy Perry Rents Out Montecito Property to A‑List Actor, Reigniting Split Rumors
Katy Perry's decision to lease her Montecito mansion to Chris Pratt has renewed speculation about the status of her reportedly rocky relationship with Orlando Bloom.
Katy Perry has rented out the $30 million estate, long seen as the future family home for herself, Bloom, and their daughter Daisy Dove, to actor Chris Pratt and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger.
The high-profile couple reportedly moved into the Santa Barbara-area residence with their young children while they await the completion of a new home in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
Perry had previously gone to court to acquire the Montecito property in a lengthy legal dispute with 85-year-old veteran Carl Westcott. Her victory followed years of litigation and headlines, making the decision to lease it out all the more surprising.
Rental homes in the exclusive Montecito enclave, which counts Oprah Winfrey, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan among its residents, can command upwards of $120,000 per month.
The move to rent out the Montecito property comes amid ongoing speculation about tension between Perry and Bloom, who share daughter Daisy Dove. Still, Bloom was recently spotted in Australia spending time with their daughter, while Perry continues the final leg of her "Lifetimes" tour there.
