After they met at a fast food restaurant, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship began progressing at the speed of light.
When they broke up a year later, the singer assured everyone that she loved Orlando and still wanted him to be in her life.
Not only did the stars find their way back to each other, but they also got engaged, had a daughter, and attended therapy to solve their issues.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, Katy Perry revealed how she met Orlando Bloom: at an In-N-Out Burger.
The singer was sitting at a table when the "Lord of The Rings" star stole one of her burgers.
"'I was like, Wait, who - oh, you're so hot! Fine, take it,'" Perry joked.
This "incident" happened right after the 2016 Golden Globes, so Katy and Orlando saw each other again just a while later at one of the after parties.
The singer took her chance and approached Bloom. "I was like, 'How are those onions resting on your molars?'" she explained.
The duo ended up having a fantastic night, with sources claiming they even had a dance-off! Who do you think won?
Orlando and Katy started dating. Since the singer is a bit younger, Bloom wasn't "overly familiar with her artistic endeavors."
The relationship progressed quickly, and in about a month, the actor was introducing Perry to his loved ones.
This included Flynn, the son he had with his ex-wife, former model Miranda Kerr.
US Weekly confirmed the couple was dating, but the lovebirds spent the first months of their relationship trying to avoid being spotted.
At the Cannes Film Festival in France, they even sat at different tables. However, a source told US Weekly that the stars turned around and whispered to each other.
After the festival, the pair decided to confirm their relationship through a funny photo on Instagram captioned "We cannes't". Awww!
A couple of months later, Orlando and Katy went vacationing together. The actor went viral due to a photo taken while he was paddleboarding nude.
The "Lord Of The Rings" star confessed that the situation was astounding for him and he wouldn't have put himself in that position if he had known that was going to happen.
In an interview, Katy confessed that she also thought about paddleboarding nude but finally decided not to do it. "I saved it for the boat," she joked.
The lovebirds continued to give us adorable moments together, like Halloween 2016.
The stars dressed up as American politicians Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Perry even hired a professional makeup artist to put prosthetics on her face!
During the Christmas Holidays, the couple dressed up again, this time for a good cause. Katy and Orlando visited a children's hospital dressed up as Mr. and M.s. Claus.
Everything seemed perfect, so fans were shocked when the pair split in February 2017.
Speculation about their breakup started when they attended an Oscar Party separately and didn't spend much time together at the event.
Both their representatives then released a statement saying, "Before rumors or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time."
A couple of days later, Katy mentioned the breakup, tweeting, "U can still b friends & love ur former partners!"
As calm as she sounded on social media, the breakup was very hard on Perry.
During an interview, Katy explained that she also was hurting because her album Witness had failed to fulfill expectations.
The musician revealed that this career setback "Literally broke me in half."
Perry went on to say that, after the breakup, she wanted to feel validated by the success of her new record.
When this didn't happen, "I just crashed," the singer said.
Katy explained that she found the strength to carry on through gratitude.
"If I did not find that, I would have wallowed in my own sadness and probably just jumped.”
The singer now sees her struggles in a different light.
She explained that it was important for her to be broken in order to feel whole in a different way and be more dimensional.
As time went by, Katy mentioned her ex again in a rather… unconventional way. The star did a 4-day live stream for her fans.
During the stream, she talked to talk show host James Corden about her exes and decided to rank their performances in bed.
According to Perry, the best was singer John Mayer, followed by Orlando.
The "Dark Horse" singer also said
"They're all amazing lovers, and I would have sex with all of them after I get out of this place!"
Bloom didn't seem annoyed by the ranking since he and the musician took a motorcycle ride to a concert only a month later.
Perry explained the situation saying, "It's nice to keep people you love around you."
In February 2018, the stars were spotted taking a walk together through the city of Prague. Fans began speculating that the couple might be back together.
"They are dating, but not necessarily putting a label on it," a source told People Magazine.
"Orlando always had the nicest things to say about Katy. He loves spending time with her."
The rumors continued after Katy attended her brother's wedding by herself. According to an insider, the singer gave a speech and mentioned Orlando.
'We're on good terms — but not good enough for him to come as my date to the wedding," she allegedly said.
While she was working on American Idol, Katy was asked whether she would date a contestant.
The musician answered by saying, "I have been spoken for and speak for myself … And I'm very happy!"
As if these confirmations weren't enough, Perry went on to upload an Instagram story holding a painting of the actor.
In it, Orlando was holding a broom. Of course, Katy captioned it, "Orlando Broom."
Finally, the stars made their red carpet debut as a couple when they attended a gala in Monaco.
A couple of months later, a date with Orlando was auctioned at a charity event.
A fan placed a 20,000 dollars bid for the date, but Katy followed it up with a 50,000 dollar bid and won the date for herself.
Talk about investing in a relationship!
Again, the stars' relationship seemed like it was taken out of a fairytale.
And this time, it came with a happy ending! On Valentine's Day 2019, Orlando proposed.
Katy explained that the actor took her to dinner. She thought they were going to see some art later, but they pulled up to a helicopter.
"We landed on a rooftop. My whole family was there, and all my friends. He did so well."
A source told People magazine that Orlando had even asked for the approval of Katy's parents beforehand.
"Orlando had planned this for a while. He wanted it all to be special."
About a month after the proposal, a source close to Bloom revealed that he had decided to sell his home and move in with Perry.
The source added that Orlando's ex, Miranda Kerr, didn't "have an issue" with this new arrangement or with her son living at Katy's house whenever the actor had custody.
Although they were very happy, the couple still had to work through some issues, like being long-distance.
The two stars often have to travel around the world, so they spend a lot of time apart. However, the two make an effort to make it work.
"You have to do the groundwork together, create the feeling of trust and safety so that you can spend time apart and still feel tethered to that person," Bloom said.
Perry has also opened up about the relationship. The musician told Vogue India that Orlando and herself "pull the poison" out of each other.
"I've never had a partner who was willing to go on an emotional and spiritual journey like Orlando."
The star also described their emotional work as a "never-ending cleanse."
On March 2020, the lovebirds announced that they were expecting.
Katy announced her pregnancy through her "Never Worn White" music video, which ended with the singer caressing her baby bump.
After the video had been released, the star confirmed her pregnancy again through an Instagram Live, saying it was probably the longest secret she ever had to keep.
The couple was set to marry in Summer 2020. The ceremony was going to happen in Japan in front of about 150 guests, according to sources.
However, they had to postpone due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"Katy was actually really excited about walking down the aisle pregnant," the insider added.
In April, the couple revealed the sex of their baby. Perry posted a photo of Bloom covered in pink Ice-cream with the caption, "It's a girl."
She also added the hashtag "Girls Run the World."
Finally, the pair's daughter was born in late August 2020. The stars announced her birth via UNICEF since they are both global ambassadors for the charity.
"We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter," the caption said.
The couple also asked fans to donate to UNICEF so that every expecting mother could have access to healthcare.
On an episode of the podcast "Dear Chelsea", Katy revealed that she hadn't considered motherhood before meeting Orlando.
“I got to see what a great dad he was with his first child. Something inside of me said, 'You, mid-30s. This man is nice. Must breed."
The performers are happy as can be. However, they still haven't had the opportunity to get married.
In February 2022, Katy revealed they wanted a destination location. "But every couple of months, it's like, 'New variant! New variant! New variant!" she said.
Perry has also revealed that the two still work on their relationship and do couples therapy to stay in tune.
The two have tried a week-long retreat called the Hoffman Process, although they did it at different times.
"It profoundly changed my life," Katy confessed.
It seems like the stars have learned from their breakup and have healed themselves and their relationship.
Here at Rumour Juice, we wish them a lifetime of peace and happiness.
