Orlando Bloom gives insight into his relationship with singer Katy Perry on the “What Now” podcast. The actor openly admits the hurdles the couple has to overcome.
Orlando Bloom, 47, and Katy Perry, 39, have been together since 2016. Three years later, the Hollywood stars got engaged – but the wedding has not taken place to this day. Still, love hasn’t died out, as Bloom said in the podcast “What Now?” with presenter Trevor Noah, 40, explains. However, there are also disputes among the stars. Whether demands, conflicts or compromises: the “Legolas” actor explicitly revealed what hurdles the two of them have to overcome.
Orlando Bloom: Katy Perry “demands that I evolve”
The actor explains that Perry “demands me to evolve.” His partner’s demands would cause “fireworks” every now and then. At the same time, the 47-year-old also recognizes the positive aspects. “It also provides a lot of fun and a lot of growth,” concludes Orlando Bloom. A personal development for which he is even grateful. “I wouldn’t change it for the world,” he clarifies.
No wonder that the couple constantly wants to work on themselves and their relationship. It’s not just that the two of them became parents to little Daisy in 2020 and had to come together as parents. No, both stars have already been married once and know how quickly a marriage can end if you don’t work on yourself and start making compromises. Katy Perry was in a relationship with musician Russell Brand, 48, from 2010 to 2012. Orlando Bloom married model Miranda Kerr, 40, the same year as Perry. The marriage was annulled in 2013. He also has a son, Flynn, 13, with his ex-wife.
The Hollywood couple struggles with their work-life balance
Many prominent separations have already proven that a relationship with a world star comes with obstacles. Tensions can arise, especially if both are in show business. Career determination, months of filming and world tours are just a few examples. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are no exception. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star openly admits that schedules with his wife conflict. “We have these two huge careers and lives and theirs is even, you know, it’s even – it’s like a universe sometimes,” Bloom tries to summarize.
At the same time, the “Lord of the Rings” actor affirms how grateful he and his fiancée are for their lives and opportunities. “Sometimes things are really challenging, […] “But I think we both realize how blessed we are to have connected the way we did,” he said.
