Here’s the Strange Thing That Sparked Romance Between Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom
Some love stories stand out as truly extraordinary in the dazzling world of Hollywood. One such story involves the stunning British actor Orlando Bloom and the pop sensation Katy Perry. Their early 2016 romance had its ups and downs, but it all began with a funny and unanticipated meeting with a cherished California delicacy: an In-N-Out burger.
During a 2019 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Perry recalled their first encounter, which happened at the Golden Globes three years earlier. She described how she was having a good time with Denzel Washington when Bloom snatched an In-N-Out burger off her table in a daring and humorous manner. When Perry realized who the charming thief was, her answer was both amusing and heartwarming as she consented to the burger heist. "I was like, 'Who...oh, you're so hot. Fine, take it," she recalled with a smile.
This adorable moment involving the theft of an In-N-Out burger served as the quirky basis for their blossoming romance. Once more, fate stepped in to bring them together at a party when Perry made fun of Bloom about how onions were resting on his molars. She said, "And then I saw him at a party, and I was like, 'How are those onions resting on your molars?'"

Fast forward to Valentine's Day 2019, it was evident that their love had grown stronger as Bloom proposed to Perry in a charming and original style. The actor took Perry on a helicopter ride after a special dinner. When they arrived, Perry was greeted by her loved ones, friends, and an abundance of flowers on a rooftop. The romantic proposal solidified their love for one another, and fans were delighted when the pair announced their engagement to the world.
She later informed Capital Breakfast, "It was Valentine's Day and I had to work that day and I just remember meeting him at dinner in this place, this Italian restaurant. So I get there and he's like clean-shaven, he's not wearing tennis shoes. I'm like, 'Ah… something is going down...'"

She said, "Who is this person? He must have been so nervous." She added, "We landed on this building and went downstairs, and my family and my friends were there and the most flowers – the most flowers you've ever seen," Perry explained.
According to Hello Magazine, Perry said, "You know when Kanye [West] does that for Kim [Kardashian West] – and you're like 'Oh my God!'" The "very romantic" proposal was mentioned by host Roman Kemp, to which Katy replied: "He's great, I love him very much."
