What led to Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s breakup after a six-year engagement?
The Teenage Dream singer, Katy Perry, met Orlando Bloom at a Golden Globes afterparty in 2016. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor later told The Times that he wasn't "overly familiar with her artistic endeavors" when they first met. Within four months, Perry and Bloom made their relationship Instagram official.
In 2017, Perry and Bloom broke up, but they remained friends. In February 2018, Bloom and Perry were spotted strolling through Prague together, stirring rumors that they might be back together. Since then, they made their red carpet appearances together and proved that they were inseparable.
On Valentine's Day in 2019, Bloom proposed to Perry in a very elaborate way. He even asked for her parents' approval beforehand. In the same year, they moved in together. In 2020, Perry announced her pregnancy in the music video for her song Never Worn White. The couple, who were all set to wed in 2020, had to postpone it due to the coronavirus pandemic. In August 2020, Perry and Bloom welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove.
Everything looked fine in Perry and Bloom’s life when news of their split surfaced in the media. PEOPLE confirmed that Perry and Bloom called off their engagement and have gone their separate ways. While one source told PEOPLE that their relationship had been "breaking down" for months, another insider shared more details about what led them to call it quits. As per the source:
“The split is amicable. They got to a point where they feel there is no going back to a healthy relationship and that it’s better to live separate lives.”
Katy Perry described her broken engagement with Orlando Bloom as the ‘hardest period’
When Katy Perry appeared on the Unfamous Podcast, she opened up about her split from Orlando Bloom. She explained that at that particular time, she suppressed her anger and pain, but dealt with all her emotions. She further revealed that her album, Watch It Burn, focused on the dark phases she has been through. In her words:
“Last year was pretty tough. I have not given myself permission to be angry my whole life over things I should be f***ing angry about. What I've done is I've pushed it down, but I should be f***ing angry. I'm allowed to be angry for a moment! Instead of falling into 'woe is me', I was just like, let's feel this pain. Let's feel this pain, let's feel this anger, and let's move on – and let's learn from it, also."
After her broken engagement, Katy was heartbroken and devastated, as getting over Bloom was the ‘hardest’ thing for her. Speaking about the same in an interview, Katy said, “I went through a ton, and there were days that were really, really, really, really hard.” Soon after the breakup, Perry gave love another chance when she met Justin Trudeau.
