The singer plans to fly from Australia, where she’s been performing for her Lifetimes tour, to their Montecito, California home to spend the July 4 holiday with Orlando and family.
Despite rumors the couple is totally over, a source said: “no one has decided it’s definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.”
“They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.
“But Katy especially doesn’t want to just give up,” the source continued.
After spending nearly all of June Down Under, Katy’s last performance in Australia will be in Adelaide on June 30.
She has a break until her July 10 date in Denver, Colorado.
And after his U.S. press tour promoting Deep Cover with just dog Biggie Smalls, Orlando also appears to have some time off for Independence Day.
Perry was “deeply rocked” by her comeback album 143 being critically panned, “despite putting her heart and soul into the project,” the source claimed.
She was also slammed for taking part in the Blue Origin space flight this spring. (According to a separate source, Orlando disagreed with her decision to take part in the Jeff Bezos-backed journey, though he and Daisy supported her for the takeoff in Texas.)
And she has “struggled with being on the road” since April for her tour.
The preparation, rehearsals and traveling have caused the “biggest disruption” to the settled life she had as a partner to Orlando.
The source said: “Katy and Orlando have been disconnected for a while now, and with their work commitments have been living separate lives.
“The plan is for them to reunite over the July 4 break. She has mentioned jetting back from Australia to spend time with Orlando, Daisy, her sister Angela and her kids.
“They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.
“It has been ‘go, go, go’ and they thrived when they enjoyed a more settled life, being together in the same place for a length of time. But that has just not happened.”

NEVER REALLY OVER
Despite the obstacles, the source insisted Katy and Orlando have not totally called it quits.
“It is quite a lot more complicated than that. They have been apart for their longest amount of time since they have been together.
“But there is still a huge amount of love between them, and there is still hope that they can ride out this rough patch.
“Anyone in long term relationships goes through challenges, and many times when things appear to be done, couples reconnect and make things work.
“The type of people they are, there still remains a lot of hope. Katy has never been happier in her life than with Orlando.
