Katy Perry said she and Orlando Bloom are bound by 'spiritual evolution': 'He gets up at 7 a.m. and chants for an hour'

• Katy Perry told The Times of London that she and fiancé Orlando Bloom are bound together by "spiritual evolution."
• Perry said: "He gets up at 7 a.m. and chants for an hour. One of the things that binds us is our desire to be more spiritually evolved? And our desire to investigate that realm? One of our main love languages is the spiritual evolution."
• Perry said that she and Bloom, who are now engaged and are expecting their first baby together, "love mysticism, conspiracies, aliens, all that stuff."

Katy Perry has said that she and fiancé Orlando Bloom are bound together by "spiritual evolution."

In an interview with The Times of London, Perry said that she was unaware Bloom was on a self-imposed six-month sex ban when she met him in 2016.

"I had no idea that was the case. I met him in 2016, we were both on a different journey," Perry said.

"He's very sensitive. Very emotionally evolved. He gets up at 7 a.m. and chants for an hour. One of the things that binds us is our desire to be more spiritually evolved? And our desire to investigate that realm? One of our main love languages is the spiritual evolution," Perry said.

"We love mysticism, conspiracies, aliens, all that stuff. We love an adventure of the mind. That's definitely something we are bound by."

Perry has previously spoken about spiritually before in an interview with Vogue India in which she called Bloom "sage."

"When we first met, he said we would pull the poison out of each other, and we really do," Perry told Vogue India.

"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. It's challenging, because you're facing all the things you don't like about yourself. It's like a never-ending cleanse."

Perry and Bloom were together for a year before splitting in February 2017, but then reconciled in February 2018 and became engaged in February 2019. In March 2020, Perry announced via a music video that she and Bloom were expecting their first child together.

Bloom has a nine-year-old son called Flynn with his ex-wife Miranda Kerr, who Perry said she is close with."She's got three boys, so I ask her for all the tips," Perry told The Times.
