Katy and Orlando got engaged in 2019 and the following year welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, who will turn four in August.
“One of the things I fell in love with Katy was that I didn’t really, she hates it when I say this so I have to say it carefully, but her music was everywhere, right?” Orlando recalled on Trevor’s podcast.
“When I arrived, it was on all the radio stations, but I wasn’t aware of it, it wasn’t what I was listening to,” he admitted.
‘But I fell in love with Katheryn, this girl from Santa Barbara and, by the way, with my parents, pastors, who live on food stamps. We’re not talking glamor, Montecito,’ he noted.
Katy has spoken candidly about growing up in a poor family, turning to food banks, and sometimes even busking as a teenager.
Orlando grew up at a boarding school in England before landing his starring role in The Lord of the Rings when he was two days out of drama school.
He reflected that he and Katy ‘both find themselves understanding where we come from, what we work for, what we had to do to get where we got.’
Orlando explained that the creator of Firework ‘definitely demands that it evolve, right? And I feel like I do the same for her. And that creates fireworks, pardon the pun, but it also creates a lot of fun and a lot of growth.’

He added: “And, you know, I wouldn’t change it for anything, even though sometimes I feel like, ‘How do we do this?’ Because we have these two giant careers and lives and hers is a couple, you know, there’s even…sometimes it’s like a universe.’
In the past, Orlando has been remarkably frank about their relationship, even when Daisy was a child and told the guardian that he and Katy weren’t having “enough” sex, before clarifying: “We just had a baby, though.”
Last year he noted that he and Katy work in “two very different groups” in the entertainment industry, which can cause difficulties between them.
“Her pool is not a pool that I necessarily understand, and I think my pool is not a pool that she necessarily understands,” he said. shine.
‘Sometimes things are really, really, really challenging. I won’t lie. We definitely struggle with our emotions and creativity, [but] “I think we’re both aware of how blessed we are to have uniquely connected the way we did at the time we did, and there’s definitely never a dull moment,” Orlando shared.
