Those who watch American Idol know that Katy Perry totally embraces her quirky sense of humor (remember when she dressed as a giant hand sanitizer bottle during the first remote Idol episode?).
That’s why it likely won’t come as a surprise to learn that comedy played a part in how she and her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, fell in love.
It all started back in January of 2016 at the Golden Globes, as Katy told Jimmy Kimmel three years later. While at the ceremony, Katy said that the Lord of the Rings star stole an In-N-Out burger off of her table.
“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?'” she recalled. “He’s like, ‘I like you.'”
Apparently, their flirtation continued into the evening. At a Golden Globes afterparty, a source told Us Weekly that the two engaged in an epic dance-off.
“Katy literally dropped to the floor and was waving her booty around, beckoning Orlando,” the insider spilled.
By May of the same year, Katy hinted that she and Orlando were officially a couple when she posted an Instagram of them in Cannes, France. As 2016 continued, Katy and Orlando were photographed together frequently, including when they dressed up as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump before the election.
Though rumors circulated that the two were planning on tying the knot in December of 2019, the couple still appears to be happily engaged to this day. In August of 2020, the pair welcomed a baby girl named Daisy into the world.
Ahead of the newest season of American Idol, Katy appeared alongside fellow judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie on Live With Kelly and Ryan and gave an update on her life as a working mom.
“Yeah, of course there’s a routine. My daughter is a Virgo and she thrives in routine,” Katy said. “But I did start filming American Idol season 4 after I’d given birth, five weeks later. And I didn’t plan that. But it was like, ‘Oh, my god!’ It was so intense, you know?'”
She added: “Giving birth, then going back to work and breastfeeding, like — holy crap! This is what women do? Oh my god.”
Despite her hectic schedule, Katy said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this past Tuesday that Orlando has been very supportive and helpful through it all.
“He’s been amazing, incredible, and we’re so in love and we’re so grateful.”
