Appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Katy Perry opened up for the first time about her 2017 split with actor Orlando Bloom and their subsequent reunion.
The “Roar” hit singer and “Lord of the Rings” actor first got together in 2016 after meeting at a Golden Globes after-party. Fast forward to February 2017, the couple announced that they were
“taking respectful, loving space” from each other after dating for a year.
‘We weren’t really in it from day one,’ Perry explained to Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper.
She detailed how they were at two different stages in their lives at that point. The “Fireworks” songstress was just “fresh out of relationship” and not looking for something serious, while Bloom, who had been celibate for six months, “had set intentions.”
Prior to the split, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor had participated in a week-long retreat called The Hoffman Experience, designed to “rewire the way you think about yourself” and “rewire all the bad habits.” After the program, Perry felt a shift in her relationship with the English actor.
“He wasn’t playing that cat-mouse game anymore,’ the former American Idol judge recalled. “And I was like, ‘This is boring. I’m moving on.’ I was so used to this push-pull. Because once you have it. I was playing games.’
But their time apart proved how absence made the hearts grow fonder. Perry described the time following their split as a “really tough year”. She finally decided to give the $5,300 retreat a try and found it life-changing, saying she “would be dead without it.”
According to Perry, The Hoffman stint helped her speak “the same language” as her ex. By September 2018, the couple were firmly back together and on Valentine’s Day 2019, Bloom proposed to the “California Gurls” diva.
Today, the couple is still going strong and shares a daughter, four-year-old Daisy
