Celebrating her 40th birthday, Katy Perry has lived a life as colorful and bold as her music. Beyond topping charts, Perry has made headlines with candid confessions about her personal life, her high-profile romance with Orlando Bloom, and revelations about her past.
A “Wild Stallion” Fiancé
Katy and Orlando Bloom have been going strong since he proposed on Valentine’s Day in 2019. Despite becoming parents to Daisy Dove, Orlando’s energy hasn’t changed, as Katy admitted on Australia’s Kyle and Jackie O Show, calling him her “wild stallion.”
Inspired by Real-Life Experience
Her hit song I Kissed a Girl is more than just lyrics. At the 2017 Human Rights Campaign gala, Katy revealed that the song stemmed from real experiences that pushed her to explore her sexuality, despite her religious upbringing. “Truth be told, I did more than [kiss a girl],” she said, reflecting on her journey of self-discovery.
Ranking Her Best Lovers
Katy has had high-profile relationships with John Mayer, DJ Diplo, and current fiancé Orlando Bloom. In a 2017 interview on The Late Late Show with James Corden, she ranked Mayer as her top lover, Bloom second, and Diplo third, cheekily adding that she’d “have sex with all of them” again.
Sleepy Fling
Before her romances with Mayer and Bloom, Katy had a fling with Travie McCoy from Gym Class Heroes. Her song Circle the Drain took a jab at an ex with “sleepy” habits, and many speculated it was about McCoy, who later acknowledged the rumors.
As Katy turns 40, her journey remains as captivating as ever, blending music and personal stories that keep fans intrigued.
