Katy Perry has dismissed rumours of a split with fiancé Orlando Bloom after she was seen not wearing her engagement ring.
Katy and the star of Lord of the Rings first started dating in 2016 and got engaged three years later before having daughter Daisy Dove in 2020.
Nonetheless, the pair became mired in rumours that they had separated after the 37-year-old singer was seen without her ring and then attended the Met Gala this year by herself, the Mirror reports.
But Katy has dismissed the concerns and showered her 45-year-old fiancé with praise, saying that "kind" Orlando has been a huge support to her during times when she had struggled with her mental health.
“I always say when he walks into the room he has this joie de vivre to him and some people ask, ‘What is this guy on?'” Katy said during an appearance on Dear Chelsea.
“He's just really got these happy, positive vibes and I'm a little bit more heady and prone to depression in some ways - and so it's good for me to be around him because he gets me out of my head a little bit,” she shared.
The couple had daughter Daisy Dove together in 2020, despite Katy describing herself as not being very maternal.
But the singer has since called becoming a mum “the best decision I made in my entire life”, adding: “I wasn't very maternal and I think that probably stems from some childhood stuff".
She added that seeing Orlando with his eldest child Flynn, aged 11, was eye-opening, joking that she "must breed" with him.
“I got to see what a great dad he was with his first child, Flynn, who is now 11. So that definitely, primally influenced me - something inside of me said, 'You, mid-30s. This man is nice. Must breed’. He is a kind man,” she explained.
The star sparked gossip that she and Orlando had separated when she was seen on set in American Idol without her massive ruby and diamond engagement ring, which the actor had proposed to her with in February 2019.
She then attended the Met Gala in New York by herself, prompting speculation the couple had split.
