After those relationships, the two managed to find each other in the blinding lights of Hollywood.

Perry also addressed the news on Twitter.

Three years after the breakup, Perry told SiriusXM's CBC Radio One that she contemplated suicide after their breakup, which coincided with the release of her album Witness.

"You're holding him in a way that I am not excited about," she said as she announced the package, which included a motorcycle ride and lunch. "You're holding his pecs and his six-pack — and it's so glorious. You get to hold on to Orlando for about 45 minutes [...] and then, you get to stare into his brown eyes!"

Bidding reached $20,000 thanks to an overzealous guest named Laura, but Perry wasn't having it.

"Laura, I'm sorry. I'm buying it for $50,000," she said before dropping the microphone.

"Full bloom," Perry wrote on Instagram, showing off her new bauble.

Three months later, Perry shared more details about the proposal during an interview on Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp.

"It was Valentine's Day and I had to work that day," she said. "I just remember meeting him at dinner at this place, this Italian restaurant, because when I get a pass, I just want to stuff my face with pasta."

"So I get there and, I mean, he's like clean-shaven. He's not wearing tennis shoes. I'm like, 'Ah shit, something is going down!'" she continued. "I got on a helicopter and he asked me to marry him, and then we landed on this building and then went downstairs and my family and friends were there and the most flowers you've ever seen."

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Perry said that she hit and Bloom had an instant connection after the Globes in 2016.

"We bonded over an In-N-Out burger about three years [ago] at the Golden Globes. He stole one off of my table," she said. "He took it, and I was like, 'Wait! Who — oh, you're so hot. Fine, take it!' And then I saw him at a party, and I was like, 'How are those onions resting on your molars?' He's like, 'I like you.'"

August 2019

Perry said that she's not in a rush to get married.

"It's important to me that we are aligned — I've been married and divorced and I don't want to do it again," Bloom said during an appearance on the Today show. "And we're both fully aware of that. She's remarkable and so I'm always so impressed with that and I'm encouraged."

January 2020

In an interview with Vogue India, Perry called Bloom "an anchor who holds me down" and "very real."

"He's not the number one fan of Katy Perry, but he's the number one fan of Katheryn Hudson," she said.

"Orlando is like a sage. When we first met, he said we would pull the poison out of each other, and we really do," she added. "It's exhausting, but we really hold each other accountable. I've never had a partner who was willing to go on an emotional and spiritual journey like Orlando. It's challenging because you're facing all the things you don't like about yourself. It's like a never-ending cleanse."

And our desire to investigate that realm? One of our main love languages is the spiritual evolution," she said. "We love mysticism, conspiracies, aliens, all that stuff. We love an adventure of the mind. That's definitely something we are bound by."

Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes."

"In celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has, we have set up a donation page to celebrate DDB's arrival," they continued. "By supporting them, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child."
