Orlando Bloom is expecting a child with Katy Perry, but before meeting and falling in love with her, he apparently became completely celibate for six months.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star had told his friend Laird Hamilton that he โwasnโt happyโ and the latter suggested trying taking a period of celibacy, and it ended up making Orlando better at โrelating to womenโ and the โfeminine withinโ himself โ though he admitted he doesnโt think itโs a โhealthyโ and โadvisableโ thing to do.
In an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper, he recalled: โLaird said, โIf you want to be serious about a relationship, go celibate for a few months and figure it out.โ
โIt takes away the idea of going to a party and thinking, โWho am I going to meet?โ I was suddenly, like, โOh, I can have a relationship with a woman that is just friends.'โ
โI was going to do three months [of abstaining], but I was really enjoying the way I was relating to women, and to the feminine within myself. It was insane.โ
โI donโt think itโs healthy. I donโt think it was advisable. You have to keep it moving down there.โ
Orlando and Katy dated for 10 months and split briefly, before getting back together in 2017, and on Valentineโs Day 2020 (Feb 14), the British actor popped the question.

Bloom, who has nine-year-old son Flynn with ex-wife Miranda Kerr, admitted โthe whole family is over the moonโ by his and Katyโs pregnancy news.
He told the publication: โThis kind of joy isnโt something you can put into words โ or really wrap your head around.
โObviously, weโve known for a long time before going public.โ
โAs you can imagine, itโs such an incredibly precious, private, yet commonplace moment to be sharing with the world.โ
โThe whole family is over the moon.โ
Orlando also revealed that his son Flynn told him he and Katy are โthe fun coupleโ out of them and his mom Miranda and her Snap Inc. CEO husband Evan Spiegel.
He said: โMy son put it so well. I asked, โWhatโs it like with Mum and her husband? Howโs it different to us?โ He smiled. โYouโre the fun couple.'โ
