Katy Perry explains she went sober with Orlando Bloom to be 'supportive' of him: 'Doing it together makes it so much easier'

• Katy Perry spoke to People about her and Orlando Bloom's sobriety pact.
• Perry said that she chose to "reset" in order to be "supportive" of Bloom, who's filming a movie.

Katy Perry opened up about what spurred her and Orlando Bloom's sobriety pact and explained why working toward the same goal together makes the experience "easier."

"We did this because he's shooting a movie in London right now that's taking every ounce of his focus, and so I wanted that opportunity to be supportive," Perry told People in a recent interview.

She continued: "It's really hard to do anything, whether that's doing a cleanse or a reset, unless your partner's doing it. So, doing it together makes it so much easier."

Perry said that their reset began after President's Day, back in February, and "it was a great opportunity to just let my body bounce back a little bit."

She also told the publication that for the most part, she abstains from drinking alcohol during the week, "but on the weekend I'll indulge a little bit."

In March, Perry spoke to People about being sober for five weeks at the time.

"I made a promise," the singer said of her and Bloom's pact. "Three months."

Perry and Bloom met at the Golden Globes in 2016 and got engaged on Valentine's Day 2019. The couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Daisy Dove Bloom, in August 2020.

Perry opened up about their dynamic in a cover story for the January 2020 issue of Vogue India, describing her fiancé as "a sage."

"When we first met, he said we would pull the poison out of each other, and we really do," she explained. "It's exhausting, but we really hold each other accountable."

"I've never had a partner who was willing to go on an emotional and spiritual journey like Orlando," Perry added. "It's challenging, because you're facing all the things you don't like about yourself. It's like a never-ending cleanse."
