Katy Perry goes vocal about her brief breakup with Orlando Bloom, “Need to swim in a different pond”

Recently, Katy Perry opened out about her brief breakup with Orlando Bloom, calling the year that followed a very difficult one that required her to conduct a lot of introspection. The pair split up in 2017 and are now parents to a daughter named Daisy. In an interview with Call Her Daddy, Perry discussed the difficulties they had and how their separation had improved both of them as people and as a partnership.

At a Golden Globes after-party in 2016, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom initially made acquaintance for a brisk period. Though things didn’t go quite as planned, sparks flew. They had a brief breakup in 2017.

Perry stated, “We weren’t really in it from day one. He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can’t do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond.”

Bloom went to The Hoffman Process, a week-long retreat centered on emotional recovery and self-discovery, during this period. Perry claimed that he had gone there and that he had stopped playing the cat and mouse game when he got back, and she had commented on how boring it was. She acknowledged that playing video games at the time led to their separation.

Perry admitted that although the separation was tough for both of them, it was essential. She had to put her personal development and mental well-being first. She said, looking back, “I had to do a lot of real work.” She discovered throughout their separation that she had unfinished business to take care of before getting back together with Bloom.

Perry finally checked herself into The Hoffman Process retreat. She said the encounter totally altered her life. When they were split up at the end of the year, she claimed she eventually visited Hoffman and picked up the tools.

Their language was the same, and she would “die without it.” The noise got so bad that she wouldn’t be alive without the procedure and meditation.

When Bloom and Perry got back together after a year apart, Perry showed them her weak side and tested their love. She said she gave him the worst impression before saying, “Here’s the next test. I’m going to show you the craziest b—- you’ve ever seen,” and he responded, “I’m not shook.” And she added, “You’re my baby daddy.”

Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry have now made the commitment to develop as a pair and as individual too. To make sure they are in agreement and can provide a caring and nurturing environment for their daughter Daisy, they go to couples counseling on a regular basis.
