Katy Perry is on to something new, she’ll be a judge on the reboot of American Idol, premiering in March on ABC. She isn’t quite ready to let go of the past and her relationship with Orlando Bloom just yet though. Their on-again, off-again union appears to be on once more – kind of.
The 33-year-old singer and the 41-year-old actor dated for over a year before uncoupling back in February of last year. A joint statement from their reps at the time said that the two were “taking respectful, loving space at this time.” Space was taken, and in August, Katy and Orlando shared space once again at an Ed Sheeran concert. Around that time, Katy told SiriusXM radio “Well, you know, I think people are in and out of your life. It’s nice to keep people you love around you. When you get older, lines get blurred.”
The lines continued to blur in January, where the two met up overseas for a little catching up. A source told E! News that Katy, who was in Dubai, popped over to Maldives to meet up with Orlando. Another source shared that “Katy and Orlando have never lost touch and it’s nothing serious,” adding “They keep in contact frequently and Orlando is understanding of her crazy schedule right now. It’s pretty casual between the two.”
A few weeks ago, Katy attended her brother’s wedding in Santa Barbara sans a plus one. A source told US Magazine that at the ceremony, “She gave a speech and said about Orlando, ‘We’re on good terms — but not good enough for him to come as my date to the wedding,’”, but made sure to point out that the pair are “hooking up when they can.” Katy did catch the bouquet at the reception, so theoretically, she’s next, right? Something is definitely brewing here. Just this week, Katy and Orlando were spotted together walking the streets of Prague.
Yeah, I realize this does look like “hooking up” and not much else. Although, Katy recently told Glamour that “I want to grow into becoming an adult. I’m preparing myself for having a family of my own someday.” Is she planning to “someday” start a family with Orlando and just wants to keep him close by when she’s bloomed into a full-fledged adult? Hmmm.
She may not be ready to be a mom just yet, but Katy is taking part in a wonderful new campaign designed to get kids reading. Katy posted a “shelfie” – a selfie with a book – as part of Disney and ABC’s Magic of Storytelling initiative. You can help get books to kids who wouldn’t otherwise have them by posting a “shelfie” of your own to social media with the hashtag #MagicOfStorytelling. For each “shelfie” a book will be donated to a child in need through the nonprofit organization First Book. I know this has nothing to do with her love life, but I was a voracious reader as a kid and think it’s great that she’s involved with such a great cause.

I wish-and this is my opinion-she would find a better balance with her makeup. The heavy eye + heavy lip is so…much. It would be a major changer.
Whatevs, if she’s in a happy and healthy place with a dude she likes having sex with, more power to her. No judgement. At least she is finally rid of that d-bag John Mayer and his racist penis.
What is the story about John Mayer being racist?
He said his penis was David Duke, who is a well known white supremacist in the US.
that he wasn’t attracted to black women and said he had a david duke dick, which more specifically means he couldn’t get aroused by one b/c it hates black people. it was a gross comment.
I was mildly confused for a bit. A shelfie is also a pic of all your skincare or makeup products.i enjoy when celebs endorse typically ‘nerdy’ stuff like reading and computer programming and the like.
I don’t think Orly is Katy’s forever dude, but maybe he’s got magic fingers or somesuch. Get it how you want it Katy.
Superficial note- I really wish she’d grow that haircut out. She’s beautiful but it’s working against that. And it actually looks like a lot of maintenance to keep it blonde and close-cut like that.
As for the Orlando stuff…meh. He’s beginning to be a Leo-esque caricature. Bruh you’re in your 40s and you’re a father. This is not a good look.
Yes. Her hair is terrible!
I wonder how often he sees his son these days.
get it girl. before i met my husband i had a very happy healthy back and forth a hookup partner that was on and off for years in between either of our relationships. we had great sex. we occasionally went on dates. it was never official but we respected each other. when one of us started dating someone else more seriously there was no jealously or cheating. it was great and if that is what katy has with orly – good for her!
Her style keeps getting worse. IMO, it was never good to begin with; however, this horrible haircut/color, heavy makeup, earrings from hell, yadda yadda…all ages her so much
If that’s what she wants, great. I just think he’s a cheesy hanger-on.
Katy is the poster girl for “not everyone should go blonde”.
Katy deserves a better guy tha Bloom
Wait, so did she mention that she and Orlando are hooking up whenever they can, during her wedding toast? Or after? And who goes out of their way to mention that?
Uncoupling…is this the new word for breakup?? It sounds ridiculous, lol.
But on to these 2.
I had a fb back in the days who I couldn’t be in a serious romantic relationship with but the sexual chemistry was off the charts amazing. It’s likely a case of crazy good sex that she isn’t ready to walk away from. If that’s the case more power to them, ride it till the wheels fall off!
