Singer Katy Perry spoke about hitting rock bottom and revealed that she was contemplating suicide in 2017 after her separation from now-fiance actor Orlando Bloom. She was also recovering from a professional setback: her album Witness did not achieve the success of its 2013 release, Prism.
Speaking to SiriusXM CBC radio station, Katy said: “My career was on this trajectory when I was going up, up and up and then I had the smallest shift, not that big from an outside perspective. But for me it was seismic. “
“He had given a lot and literally broke me in half. I had broken up with my boyfriend, who is now my future dad. And then he was excited to fly high on the next record. But the validation didn’t make me feel good, so I just crashed, “he said.
Katy said it was her faith and gratitude that saved her. “It was so important to me to be broken in order to find my integrity in a completely different way. And to be more dimensional than just living my life like a thirsty pop star all the time, ”he said.

“Gratitude is probably what saved my life, because if I hadn’t found it I would have wallowed in my own sadness and probably would have jumped. But I found ways to be grateful. If it gets really, really hard, I go around and say, ‘I’m grateful, I’m grateful!’; even though I’m in a bad mood, “he added.
Katy and Orlando started dating in 2016 and briefly parted ways in February 2017, only to rekindle their romance a few months later. The couple got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019 and announced that they were expecting their first child in March of this year.
The news of her pregnancy was announced by Katy in the music video for her single Never Worn White. Then he tweeted, “OMG, I’m glad I don’t have to suck it anymore,” followed by “or carry a big bag lol.” Later, Orlando announced that they were going to have a girl.
