I never really truly knew about unconditional love. Obviously, my mother has that for me, but I didn't really experience it in the first person until I had my child. And that was just a whole 'nother level.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's wedding plans
Orlando and Pryy had originally planned to have a winter wedding in December 2019. US Weekly reported at the time that the couple had to postpone their nuptials because of location issues.
In 2020, Covid-19 hit, leading to extended delay, but they are still looking forward to having a big ceremony. While appearing in The Drew Barrymore Show in September 2022, Katy opened up about the impending nuptials, saying,
There's still a plan, but the location is challenging...I love a big celebration. I'm all about like big, fun, exotic, great celebrations. So, hopefully soon.
Why did Orlando and Katy split?
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom split briefly in 2017. The Firework singer mentioned the reason for their breakup split in September 2024 while appearing on Alex Cooper's podcast, Call Her Daddy.
She revealed that they were both at different stages in their lives. Katy's personal growth during their breakup helped her reconnect with herself and, ultimately, with Orlando.
We weren't really in it from day 1. I mean, he was, in a way, 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 just like, 'I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond,' but I had yet to do a lot of real work.
