Katy Perry may be a world-famous popstar, but to boyfriend Orlando Bloom, she’s just his “California Gurl.”
The British actor opened up about his relationship with the singer in an interview on the “What Now? with Trevor Noah” podcast Thursday.
While sharing his thoughts on Bloom’s documentary series “Orlando Bloom: To the Edge,” host Trevor Noah observed that the couple seems to be “pursuing a life of purpose, a life of peace and also strangely enough, a life of normalcy.”
“I think one of the things that I fell in love with Katy was… She hates when I say this, so I have to word it carefully, but her music was everywhere, right?” Bloom said. “When I came up it was just on every radio station, but I wasn’t conscious of, (it) wasn’t what I was listening to. But I fell in love with Katheryn, this girl from Santa Barbara.”

Bloom began dating Perry in 2016. Despite separating in 2017, the couple reconciled and welcomed a child (a daughter named Daisy Dove) in 2020.
Perry’s pop stardom notwithstanding, Bloom said the couple has a shared humility of “where we came from, what we worked to do, what we had to do to get to where we got to.”
Perry had “parents (who were) pastors living on food stamps,” Bloom said. “We’re not talking glamorous Montecito. It’s the side (of Santa Barbara) that no one knows.”

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor added that he and Perry constantly challenge each other’s personal growth.
“She definitely demands that I evolve, and I feel I do the same for her. And that makes for fireworks, pardon the pun,” Bloom said, referencing Perry’s song “Firework.” “But it also makes for a lot of fun and a lot of growth.”
“I wouldn’t change it for anything, even when sometimes it feels like, ‘How do we do this?’ Because we’ve got these two giant careers and lives, and hers is like a universe sometimes,” Bloom concluded. “But I think I just keep coming back to her and trying to hold her hand and walk her back to the sand pit and be like, we’re just going to build a sandcastle.”
