Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have long been a Hollywood power couple, but their relationship is far from conventional. From awkward public moments to bizarre interviews, their love story seems more like a reality show than a fairytale romance. While they share a daughter, Flynn, and a genuine bond, the dynamics between these two are anything but ordinary. Let’s dive into the weird and wonderful world of Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s relationship.
The “Checking Out” Incident: Awkward or Innocent?
One of the most recent bizarre moments in their relationship happened at a New York gala, where Orlando Bloom was caught seemingly checking out Kim Kardashian — with his fiancée Katy Perry standing right next to him. While this could be seen as an innocent moment, it raises questions about their dynamic. Fans couldn’t help but wonder if there was some tension between the couple, especially given the way Orlando reacted when Katy posted a playful photo on Instagram calling him a “mess” just weeks before. Is this an innocent slip-up or a sign of something deeper in their relationship?
“He Wants Me to Be Healthy”: Katy’s Mixed Feelings on Orlando’s Health Obsession
Katy Perry has spoken openly about how Orlando Bloom’s intense focus on health and wellness sometimes becomes too much. In a recent interview, she revealed that Orlando, who has a “free spirit” and loves the outdoors, is always trying to get her to be healthier. While she admits that this is a good thing overall, she also jokes that it can be annoying when Orlando does things like clean the entire kitchen or insists they go on a “health cleanse.” For Katy, one of her “love languages” is acts of service, so if Orlando does the dishes or tidies up the house, she finds it endearing—but she also humorously adds that he “better be ready to get his socks” for it. While it’s a quirky and somewhat sweet comment, it also leaves a lot to the imagination, and some fans couldn’t help but feel a little awkward about it.
The Rollercoaster Breakups and Makeups
Katy and Orlando’s relationship has been full of ups and downs, with a breakup in 2017 that lasted only a few months before they reconciled. During their brief split, Katy made some public comments that likely bruised Orlando’s ego—she revealed in an interview that he wasn’t the best lover she’d ever had, even joking that it was actually John Mayer who took that crown. While this is a bold move, Orlando didn’t take long to get his revenge. In a 2021 interview, he was asked who the best kisser he’d ever had was, and instead of choosing Katy, he reminisced about a girl named Debbie from his teen years.
The couple’s sense of humor about each other’s flaws might be the key to their ability to bounce back after setbacks, but it does raise eyebrows when they air their dirty laundry so publicly.
The “Snot-Sucker” Competition
In another weird moment, Katy and Orlando have taken their competitive streaks to a whole new level. The couple joked about a “parenthood competition” over who could suck the most snot out of their daughter’s nose using a baby nasal aspirator. According to Orlando, “Katy and I take turns to see who can get out the biggest SP.” Katy laughed and added that “so far, she’s winning,” but at the same time, it was a very odd conversation to have on public platforms. It’s a moment that shows how far their relationship has evolved, from star-studded events to discussing boogers—and, for many, it was just a little too much information.
Real Estate Drama: The Eviction Scandal
Katy and Orlando’s relationship has not been without controversy. In 2021, the couple found themselves embroiled in a legal battle after purchasing a mansion that allegedly involved the eviction of an elderly man, Carl Wescott, who had Huntington’s disease and was reportedly unable to understand the sale of his home due to his declining health. This incident sparked outrage on social media, with many accusing the couple of exploiting an elderly man for their own gain. It was even suggested that the sale had been manipulated by their real estate agent. In response to the backlash, Katy and Orlando have denied any wrongdoing, but the legal battle continues to raise questions about their involvement in what many saw as an unethical real estate deal.
Nuns, Lawsuits, and a Royal Connection
Katy’s track record with real estate has been controversial even before her involvement with Orlando. In 2015, she was involved in a lawsuit with the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary over a Los Angeles property. The nuns claimed that Katy was trying to force them out of their home so she could buy it, and the situation became even more complicated when one of the nuns, Sister Catherine Rose Holzman, passed away while the case was still in court.
But that’s not all. Katy has a surprising connection to the royal family, which Orlando found himself entangled in when he voiced a character on the animated series The Prince—a satirical show mocking the royal family. While Katy has admitted to having a crush on Prince Harry in the past, it’s still odd that she encouraged Orlando to take on a role that would inevitably put him in an awkward position with Harry and his family. And though the show is just a cartoon, it did spark some controversy, especially when Orlando was forced to address it with Prince Harry directly.
Blended Families & Complicated Dynamics
Despite all the drama, one of the positive aspects of Katy and Orlando’s relationship is their ability to co-parent with Orlando’s ex-wife, Miranda Kerr. The two women have developed a strong bond, and Katy has even spoken about how much she admires Miranda. They’ve both worked together to promote Miranda’s skincare line, Kora Organics, and Katy has been supportive of Miranda’s business endeavors. It’s clear that despite the drama, Katy and Orlando have managed to create a healthy environment for their daughter, Flynn, and have built a “blended family” that challenges the stereotype of ex-wives and new wives being at odds.
The Verdict: Is Their Relationship Just Too Weird?
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s relationship is undeniably one of the most bizarre in Hollywood. From Orlando’s checking out Kim Kardashian at a gala to the couple’s bizarre snot-sucking competition, their love story is full of cringe-worthy moments and awkward interviews. But despite all the chaos, they seem to make it work—at least for now. Whether it’s their unique sense of humor or their shared experiences, it’s clear these two know how to turn the ordinary into something extraordinary… even if it involves a little too much TMI along the way.
