What Happened to Orlando Bloom?

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s relationship has had its fair share of challenges, particularly during their brief split early on. After dating for about a year, the couple took a break in 2017. Perry recently opened up about the reasons for their temporary breakup, sharing on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she wasn’t “really in it” from the beginning. While Bloom had just come off a period of celibacy and was ready to dive into a committed relationship, Perry was still healing from a past relationship and wasn’t ready for the level of commitment Bloom was seeking.

During their time apart, Bloom attended a transformative retreat at the Hoffman Institute, which helped him reshape his approach to relationships and self-awareness. When he returned, he was no longer interested in playing emotional “games,” and Perry found herself bored by his newfound emotional clarity. She admitted to playing games in their relationship, which ultimately led her to move on temporarily​.

Perry also eventually attended the same retreat later that year, which helped her reconnect with herself and gain new tools for handling relationships. This experience, she said, was life-changing and pivotal in her personal growth. The couple reconciled in 2018, after both had done the necessary work on themselves, leading to their engagement the following year. They now share a daughter, Daisy, born in 2020, and continue to evolve together as a couple​.

The challenges they faced early on in their relationship and their eventual reconciliation demonstrate their commitment to personal growth and building a stronger partnership. Despite their rocky start, Perry and Bloom’s journey now seems to be a testament to the importance of self-reflection and mutual effort in relationships.
