How did the star couple meet?
The American singer and the 'Lord of the Rings' star first met at a Golden Globes afterparty in January 2016. It was all because of Perry’s passion for In-N-Out burgers that led her to Bloom. According to Yahoo, during a 2019 appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', the singer recalled her initial introduction to the actor.
Making it official
The two began dating shortly after the meeting. In May 2016, Perry and Bloom announced their romance to the world when they made their relationship "Instagram official". The 'Firework' singer shared a photo of herself and Bloom sprawled on the steps of the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc after attending the Cannes Film Festival. “We cannes’t,” Perry wrote in the caption of her Instagram post. As per Elle, the two made headlines in August 2016 as Bloom was infamously pictured on a paddleboard in the nude while on vacation with Perry in Italy.
The brief split
As per US magazine, Perry and Bloon are said to have dated for a period in 2016, before a brief split in March 2017. However, the couple was in a respectful and loving space during that time, the source said.
Engagement
According to Cosmopolitan, Perry seemingly confirmed that she and Bloom were back together during the April 2018 finale of 'American Idol'. In November 2018, they made their red carpet debut at the Gala for the Global Ocean in Monaco after dating on and off for more than two years.
In February 2019, Bloom proposed to Perry on Valentine’s Day. Perry took to Instagram to share a photo of the stunning flower-shaped diamond ring, which also featured a close-up photo of the newly-engaged couple.
Welcoming baby girl
Nearly one year after announcing their engagement, the pair revealed that they were expecting their first child together when Perry released the music video for her single 'Never Worn White' in which she was shown flaunting a baby bump.
On August 27, 2020, the couple announced the birth of their daughter Daisy Dove Bloom through Unicef, the United Nations Children’s Fund, for which Perry and Bloom are Goodwill Ambassadors.
