Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom briefly separated in 2017 due to their diverging paths. Bloom needed to take a step back, while Perry realized the necessity to focus on self-growth.
The couple met in 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty, but their relationship faced a turning point when Bloom participated in The Hoffman Process retreat, which revealed their differing desires.
During their time apart, both Perry and Bloom faced individual challenges. It was a tough year for Perry, but it became a period of introspection and change. She eventually decided to attend the same retreat as Bloom, marking a significant moment in her personal growth.
Perry shared her experience on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, expressing how the retreat helped her reevaluate herself and her actions.
Upon reuniting, Perry was committed to being transparent with Bloom, exposing her vulnerabilities and flaws. His unwavering support during this vulnerable phase reassured her of their strong connection.
They both acknowledged the importance of continuous self-improvement within their relationship to evolve as individuals and as a couple.
