Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s Relationship: A Complete Timeline

It’s been a long road for Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, who first began a flirtation in early 2016. Over the next nine years, their relationship went through several ups and downs, including an early breakup, one engagement, one child, and yet another breakup.
“I always say when he walks into the room, he has this joie de vivre to him, and some people ask, ‘What is this guy on?’” Perry said of Bloom in a 2022 podcast interview with Chelsea Handler. “He’s just really got this happy, posi vibes, and I’m a little bit more heady and prone to depression in some ways—and so it’s good for me to be around him because he gets me out of my head a little bit.”
