Katy Perry Reveals Orlando Bloom Changed Her Perception Of Motherhood

Katy Perry revealed she decided to embrace motherhood because of the love of her life, Orlando Bloom.

The 37-year-old opened up about motherhood and when she decided it was the right time, she revealed during a recent appearance on Dear Chelsea.

"Best decision I made in my entire life. I wasn't very maternal and I think that probably stems from some childhood stuff," she told Chelsea Handler of parenting her 20-month-old daughter Daisy Dove, whom she shares with fiancé Orlando Bloom.

For the longest time, Perry said she thought motherhood wasn't in the cards for her because there was a "disconnect," but being with Bloom, 45, by her side changed that perspective.

"[Then] Orlando, I got to see what a great dad he was with his first child, Flynn, who is now 11. So that definitely, primally influenced me — something inside of me said, 'You, mid-30s. This man is nice. Must breed,'" she said jokingly. "He is a kind man."

With Bloom around, Perry admits she not only wanted to be a mother but also realized he brings balance into her life.

"I always say when he walks into the room he has this joie de vivre to him and some people ask, 'What is this guy on?' He's just really got this happy, posi vibes and I'm a little bit more heady and prone to depression in some ways — and so it's good for me to be around him because he gets me out of my head a little bit."

Elsewhere in the interview, she revealed she's been living in Kentucky for "almost a month now" and that too has opened her perspective.

"[It's an] amazing experience and reminds you Hollywood is not America — and you need to remember that because I think you can understand people better," she said of her living situation.

The couple welcomed Daisy Dove Bloom on 26 August 2020, according to BBC.
