Katy Perry confirmed on Friday that she got engaged to Orlando Bloom on Valentine’s Day, following a three-year on-off romance in front of her entire family.
The singer, 34, took to Instagram to share a picture of herself and her actor beau, 42, as she showed off her ‘wildly valuable’ engagement ring, estimated to be worth $5million. Forbes reported Perry’s net worth amounted to $83 million as of July 2018 while Bloom is reportedly worth $35 million.
Andrew Brown, President, WP Diamonds told E! News:
‘Katy’s ring would retail in the range of $5 million.
‘It appears to be a four-carat fancy vivid pink oval shaped diamond arranged with eight white diamonds around it to assemble a flower “in bloom” – this ring is truly one-of-a-kind and wildly valuable.’
Katy captioned the image, writing: ‘Full bloom.’ Orlando shared the same snap, writing: ‘Lifetimes.’
The singer’s mother, Mary Hudson, broke the news of the engagement on Facebook, sharing images of the emotional proposal and captioning them with: ‘look who got engaged last night’.
According to The Sun, Katy was ‘shocked and surprised’ to walk in and see her family and friends as well as balloons and candles.
The actor had asked for both Katy’s mother and father for permission to ask her to marry him.
Her friends were wearing ‘OK’ initial hoodies in tribute to them.
A source told the publication:
‘Katy was totally shocked. Everyone knew what was planned apart from her.
‘Orlando had planned the whole thing – a party with friends and family, Valentine’s themed decorations and matching hoodies for guests.’
Katy looked incredible wearing a pink Alessandra Rich dress as she cosies up to the handsome star.
Her nails were painted pink to match the ring, although this may have been a coincidence and she had diamantés artfully applied to one talon.
Clearly in the mood for Valentine’s, Katy was wearing giant heart-shaped earrings, with a sparkling heart belt around her waist.
Katy and Orlando first started dating after meeting at an afterparty for the 73rd Golden Globe Awards in January 2016.
They broke up in March 2017, issuing a joint statement saying they were ‘taking respectful, loving space at this time.’
The couple couldn’t stay apart for long though and were spotted back together on holiday in Japan in December that year.
They told the world they were officially back on in February 2018.
In April of that year, Orlando spoke of his love for Katy in an interview with The Times.
He said:
‘She’s a remarkable human being, actually. I wouldn’t have imagined anything happening.
‘And, you know, when you get hit sideways you get hit sideways. You don’t pick who you fall in love with.’
The sweet comments came after a source told People magazine that the couple were ‘more serious than ever’ since a year apart.
According to the reports, the pop princess and actor ‘missed each other’ when they called time on their romance.
The source said: ‘Orlando and Katy are great. They are dating exclusively again and things seem more serious.’
The insider added that Orlando became bored of living the single life during his break from Katy, and the Pirates Of The Caribbean star wants to focus on being a one-woman man.
Katy was previously married to Russell Brand from October 23, 2010 – July 16, 2012.
Orlando was married to Australian model Miranda Kerr from 2010–2013 and they have a son together called Flynn Christopher, eight.
We wish them all the best!
