Their Last Appearance
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March.
When appearing on the “On Purpose With Jay Shetty” podcast in April 2024, Bloom opened up about his relationship with the famous singer.
"I think I’m constantly learning to let go,” he said. “Because anything that I try to hold onto, whether it’s good or bad, doesn’t serve me. Not in the relationship, and it doesn’t really serve either of us. And that’s really hard. To keep letting go and to keep letting her go."
"I think when you are in a deeply loving, committed relationship, you want to control or own or have and, you know, even just letting go of ideas, how things should be, or the idea of what intimacy or intimate moments are to you versus them, or whatever it may be,” Bloom added.
