Katy Perry has shared her reaction to her fiancé Orlando Bloom’s recent viral photo of him gazing in admiration at Kim Kardashian’s famous behind.
The 39-year-old singer appeared on the The Elvis Duran Show on Tuesday, where she opened up about the picture she and Orlando, 47, took with the reality star, 43.
“It’s you taking a picture with Kim Kardashian and Orlando is looking at her,” the presenter said, laughing. Katy chimed in: “ours,” and Elvis completed the sentence: “her ass.”
He continued: “I mean, how could you not?” Katy replied: “I approve.”
The singer appeared indifferent to the situation and asked: “Wait, what’s the controversy?”
Katy Perry, 39, shared her reaction to the recent viral photo of her fiancé Orlando Bloom, 47, gazing in admiration at Kim Kardashian’s, 43, famous backside.
The singer appeared on the Elvis Duran Show on Tuesday, where she spoke about the picture she and Orlando took with Kim at the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women dinner on Monday.
“There is no controversy,” the presenter replied.
“Oh, great,” he said.
Elvis went on to read an article about the event Katy and Orlando attended, which described footage of them with the actor’s hand “right above Katy’s bottom.”
“She’s been to other places,” he joked, adding: “I hate to tell you. My daughter is four.”
The photo in question was taken on Monday night, at the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women dinner in New York City.
The Lord of the Rings actor was photographed in a hilarious moment when he appeared to glance at fellow guest Kim’s prominent backside.
The actor, who looked particularly dapper in his classic black tie attire, was seen gazing down at Kim’s backside as he stood next to his fiancée with one arm placed at her side.
Despite the humorous display, Orlando and Katy looked affectionate as they hugged each other on the red carpet and shared a few romantic kisses.
“It’s you taking a picture with Kim Kardashian and Orlando is looking at her,” the presenter said, laughing. Katy chimed in: “ours,” and Elvis completed the sentence: “her ass.”
She continued: “I mean, how could you not?” to which Katy replied: “I approve.”
Katy seemed nonchalant about the situation and asked, “Wait, what’s the controversy?”
Elvis also read out parts of an article about other pictures from the event, which described the actor’s hand “right above Katy’s bum.” She replied: “He’s been in other places. I’m sorry to tell you. My daughter is four.”
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor looked particularly cute in the snap with Kim and Katy thanks to a soft smile he flashed as he looked in Kim’s direction.
He looked much more sober and serious in a photo taken from a similar angle that again showed the three of them, although this time he stared straight into the camera.
Katy looked glamorous at the charity event, which supports organizations dedicated to ending gender-based violence, thanks to her off-shoulder dress covered in teal sequins.
Kim dazzled in a bright white dress that contrasted with a plastic look, with intentional gathers and wrinkles running through it.
The photo of Orlando gaping at Kim was reminiscent of a much-talked-about photo from the 2016 Golden Globes ceremony that captured the actor gazing longingly at his future love, Katy.
The two were not dating at the time, but began their relationship later that year.
Despite Orlando’s seemingly averted gaze, his fiancée Katy has been friends with Kim for years.
In 2017, Kim delighted her eldest daughter, North West, by taking her to one of Katy’s concerts, which included a meet-and-greet with the singer-songwriter.
But it wasn’t until 2018 that their friendship became more visible after fans noticed the two hanging out together at the Met Gala.
After some social media users commented on photos of Katy admiring Kim’s nails, the Kardashian star revealed on Twitter that Katy had done her a huge favor by flying her fake nails from Los Angeles to New York on her private jet.
Orlando looked much more sober and serious in a photo from a similar angle that again showed the three of them, although this time he stared straight into the camera.
Despite the humorous display, Orlando and Katy looked affectionate as they hugged each other on the red carpet and shared a few romantic kisses.
Katy looked glamorous at the charity event in an aquamarine dress.
The new photo was reminiscent of a photo from the 2016 Golden Globes ceremony in which Orlando gawked and flirted with Katy. The two weren’t dating at the time, but would soon be later that year.
The raven-haired beauties then traded banter back and forth on social media when they poked fun at each other’s over-the-top tearful faces last year after Katy shed a few tears while working as a judge on American Idol.
Orlando wasn’t the only one who may have been enchanted by Kim at the gala.
François-Henri Pinault, chairman and chief executive of luxury conglomerate Kering, flashed a broad smile as he met the social media star at the event.
Katy and Orlando’s outing comes after the pop star revealed she “would be dead” if she and her partner hadn’t taken a year-long break early in their relationship.
The couple began dating in 2016, but split a year later.
They reconciled in late 2018, got engaged on Valentine’s Day 2019, and welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in August 2020.
