Katy Perry Confessed She Was the Reason of Break Up with Orlando Bloom and Why They Got Back Together

Even the most enchanting romances have their share of struggles. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom may appear to be a fairy tale couple, but their journey has been anything but smooth. Despite their ups and downs, their breakup ultimately led to a deeper connection, teaching Katy the value of letting go of control and embracing the true support of her partner.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s relationship timeline.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom first crossed paths in 2016 during a playful argument over a burger, and today, they’re happily engaged with a daughter.

Though they briefly split in 2017, their romance reignited within a year and soon became more serious. Bloom proposed to Perry on Valentine’s Day in 2019. While the global circumstances disrupted their initial wedding plans, they moved in together and welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, in August 2020.

They have yet to get married.

She went to a residential retreat.

Katy shared that early in her relationship with Orlando Bloom, she liked “playing games” with him, messing with his emotions, which gave her a thrill she called a “dopamine hit.”. But it was strange to her, she shared about Orlando, “wasn’t playing this cat-mouse game anymore with me, and I was like, ‘This is boring. I’m moving on.’”

Katy recalls, “I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was just like, ‘I can’t do this anymore. I need to go swim in a different pond,’ but I had yet to do a lot of real work.”

She also added, “I had a really tough year, and I finally went to Hoffman [Institute] towards the end of that year that we were separated, and then I got the tools and spoke the same language, and it changed my life. It saved my life. I would be dead without it.”

Katy called herself an “alpha”.

The singer revealed, “We all have our strengths and then our opportunities for growth. But one of his strengths [is] when I crumble, he can step in and be that anchor. That’s amazing because I’m usually just alpha, alpha, you know? I’m like testosterone, testosterone. ‘I got this. I don’t need any help,’ but actually I do need help. I do need a partner.”

They got back together.

Katy shared that she was the one who initiated getting back together with Orlando, and he was open to reconciling after she’d worked on herself. Now, she sees him as a steady presence in her life, describing him as her “anchor.” Perry also explained that being with Orlando has helped her let go of her need to control everything and learn to ask for help when she needs it.

Many celebrity couples break up and then get back together. For some, it works out well. However, reuniting with an ex isn’t always a good idea. Here’s why getting back with an old partner might not be the best choice.
