There are few things cuter than a celebrity couple who actually seem really in love, and that's exactly what Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry are. The couple began dating in early 2016 and got engaged for Valentine's Day in 2019. Then they announced that Katy was pregnant with their daughter in 2020. Now they're planning their wedding (the date's been moved a couple of times due to the chaos of the world at the moment) and enjoying being parents to their young newborn Daisy Dove.
Although both Katy and Orlando are fairly open about their lives on Instagram, they are actually pretty private about their romance. Still, over the five years they've been together, we've caught a few rare moments of PDA between the two, and it's always so sweet to see them expressing their true love for one another. Here are 20 of their sweetest PDA moments as a couple.
All Smiles
It appears Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's romance began at a Golden Globes party in early 2016. The two were photographed being extremely cuddly with one another and whispering together. It's not often that cameras catch the moment a celebrity couple starts to fall in love, but Katy and Orlando's romance has been known about since the beginning.
Gettin' Handsy
We love a couple who takes care of each other. Sure, it's sweet to see the duo flirting and kissing, but it's also nice to see Katy doing a more practical act of service: Making sure Orlando doesn't burn in the sun. This is the kind of stuff lasting romances are built on — those everyday moments of care.
Coordinating Outfits
Early in their romance, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom went to Coachella together, and it kind of looks as if they intentionally matched their outfits. Both of them are wearing red, white, and black prints. They may have only been dating for a handful of months, but they were already at the coordinated clothing stage.
Romantic Vacation
Katy and Orlando were spotted making out in Italy (and getting a little handsy, too), early in their dating timeline. The passion they have for one another is clear, but as they've continued seeing one another, they've tried to keep these uber romantic moments more to themselves. It's hard to escape the paparazzi, though!
Finding Her Prince
After the couple visited Disneyland together, Katy took this sneaky photo of just their feet in Minnie and Mickey socks. She didn't tag Orlando, but everyone had just seen her at the theme park with him. It was clear who she was talking about when she wrote, "When you find your prince."
Aww. She knew so early on!
Cuddled Close
In 2018, the two were seen cuddling up at a Lady Gaga concert. The sneaky photos taken of them aren't the best quality, but we can still see how comfortable the duo is with each other. And their PDA goes both ways. Sometimes Orlando initiates the hug or kiss, and sometimes it's Katy who wraps her arm around him.
Sharing Secrets
The couple is pretty private about their romance, and they're even private about their PDA! Oftentimes when they're out and about, Orlando will whisper something in Katy's ear for only her to hear.
The moment makes for a great intimate-looking photograph. We only wish we also knew what secrets they were sharing!
Accidental Instagram Flirting
Whoops! Katy got caught appreciating her partner's booty on Instagram when she accidentally posted a thirsty comment from her public Instagram account. "Oops I meant to send that to you privately," she wrote underneath the more NSFW comment.
She added the shrugging emoji, so clearly she wasn't too upset by showing the world how she feels about Orlando's behind.
Gotcha
We have butterflies just looking at this photo! Orlando's got his hand securely on Katy's back and it's like he's pulling her toward him. His reassuring hug seems to signal that he's always there for her, and Katy is absolutely beaming at him.
They're pretty much in their own little loved up world, and they don't even seem to be paying attention to all the cameras.
Red Carpet Kisses
At that same event for Orlando's show Carnival Row, the couple gave the cameras what they wanted — a little kiss. Because they actually don't kiss in public a whole lot, this was kind of a big deal. They were on the red carpet celebrating their love for all to see. That's how we know they're really serious about one another.
Major Commitment
On Valentine's Day in 2019 — three years after they started dating — Orlando asked Katy to marry him. She of course said yes, and then the duo captured this cuddly post-engagement photo for Instagram. We can see a bunch of heart balloons behind them, and Katy's pink flower engagement ring is so stunning. He really captured her spirit in the jewel.
Basking in the Post-Engagement Glow
On the one-year anniversary of Orlando's proposal, Katy shared some photos of what look like an engagement party with their friends. "One year ago I said yes to a life of love and evolution… and definitely never a dull moment," she captioned the pics. They look so happy and in love with one another.
Celebrating Love
Katy and Orlando are still working out the details of their own wedding, but perhaps they took some inspiration from Ellie Goulding's lavish ceremony. The couple attended her nuptials in late 2019, strolling up to the church while holding hands. It must have been even more fun to celebrate a friend's love while in love themselves.
So Smitten
Another wedding that the couple attended in 2019 was Karlie Kloss' marriage to Joshua Kushner. "Wonderful weekend of being love and celebrating love," Orlando captioned this picture.
Katy and Orlando are gazing into each other's eyes with the kind of intensity only true love can explain. They're so smitten.
Staying Connected
These days, sometimes the only way to see our loved one is through video chat, but Katy and Orlando were all about FaceTiming way back in November of 2019. They used it as a way to stay connected even when they couldn't be with each other. "Together our initials are O.K. and that’s what it's gonna be," Katy captioned the photo.
Snuggled Up
The duo rang in 2020 from their bed, where they cuddled up with their dogs. "When you’re in bed before midnight is when you know you’re starting the new year right," Katy joked in the caption. Hey, if we could have spent 2020 in bed with Orlando Bloom we would also consider it starting the year off right.
Family Photo
A few days after the new year started, Orlando shared this photo of him snuggled up in the snowy weather with Katy and their dogs. It's such a sweet pic. What we didn't know at the time that they probably did know, though, was that Katy was also pregnant with their first child. So it really was a photo of the whole fam.
Taking a Stroll
Katy was close to popping when she and Orlando took this summertime beach stroll. She gave birth just a few weeks later. While on their walk, Katy sweetly tucked her arm through Orlando's for that extra bit of love and protection. We love that Orlando is also cradling their dog.
And Baby Makes Three
Their daughter Daisy Dove Bloom was born in August 2020, and Katy and Orlando shared this sweet photo of them all holding hands. "We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter," the couple said in a joint statement.
Also look at how Katy had a special daisy manicure done to celebrate her little one. So cute.
So Proud
After Katy performed at President Joe Biden's special inauguration celebration, Orlando ran up to give his fiancée a big kiss. "That was awesome, baby. Great job," he told her when she finished. Then the duo kissed and Katy told Orlando how much she loved him. It's one of the most PDA moments we've ever seen from them, and it was adorable.
