Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have announced they are expecting a baby.
From the beginnings of their relationship in 2016 to their engagement and pregnancy, the couple has weathered some ups and downs, but in the words of Perry herself, "I guess it’s never really over."
Here's everything you need to know about the Bloom-Perry partnership, from first meeting to baby news.
Golden Globes 2016
This is when Bloom and Perry first hit it off. At the time, US weekly reported they were chatting up a storm and an observer said they were “extremely flirty and whispering to each other”.
Perry told Jimmy Kimmel in 2019, "We bonded over an In-N-Out burger about three years [ago] at the Golden Globes. He stole one off of my table. He took it, and I was like, 'Wait! Who — oh, you're so hot. Fine, take it!' And then I saw him at a party, and I was like, 'How are those onions resting on your molars?' He's like, 'I like you.'"
