Katy Perry found her teenage dream in fiancé Orlando Bloom, but nothing worth fighting for is easy. The couple have been together since 2016 but spent about a year apart in 2017. Although they got back together, fans have wondered why they decided to break up in the first place now that they’re engaged and share daughter Daisy Bloom together.
During a recent appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, the “Firework” hitmaker revealed the reason why she and the Pirates of the Caribbean actor briefly split.
During her “Call Her Daddy” interview, Katy explained that she and Orlando were on different paths at the beginning of their relationship.
“We weren’t really in it from day one,” the pop singer admitted. “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,’ but I had to do a lot [of] real work.”
At the time, Orlando went on a retreat that was called “The Hoffman Process,” which “is a week-long residential and personal growth retreat that helps participants identify negative behaviors, moods, and ways of thinking that developed unconsciously and were conditioned in childhood,” according to the Hoffman Institute’s website.
