“Katy Perry Opens Up: The Unexpected Reason Orlando Bloom Walked Away from Their Relationship”
The separation, which took place in 2017, happened due to an incompatibility between the lifestyles of both celebrities due to a healing journey Bloom had undertaken through a method called The Hoffman Process.
Labeled as a “world-famous technique that empowers you to forgive your past, heal your present, and transform your future,” the program involves a week-long retreat that was so life-changing for the actor that it made him unable to stand Perry’s relationship style.
“He wasn’t playing this cat-mouse game anymore. And I was like, ‘This is boring. I’m moving on,’” she said on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast.

Katy and Orlando, who first started dating in 2016, took a break after a year together. “We weren’t really in it from day one,” the singer explained, stating that she wasn’t ready for something serious at the time due to her hectic schedule and “chaotic” lifestyle.
The pair also encountered each other with their hearts in completely different places. Bloom had just done “a huge time of celibacy,” the singer recalled, while she was still processing a recent breakup. “I needed to swim in a different pond, but I had yet to do a lot of real work,” she explained.
Bloom would then put extra distance between the two when he decided to undergo the Hoffman Process.

Perry described the retreat as something that “rewrites all your neural pathways through different physical activities. So there’s no medicine or plant medicine. It’s literally just scientists and therapists that have put together programming that helps you quiet that imposter syndrome.”
