Are you roaring with excitement? Katy Perry<\/a><\/strong> and Orlando Bloom<\/a><\/strong> are engaged!<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Pirates of the Caribbean<\/em> actor proposed to the singer on Valentine’s Day. Sure, not original, but still romantic. And her ring is anything but ordinary<\/a>, and very Katy!<\/p>\n

Perry and Bloom’s road to engagement was far from smooth. The two sparked romance rumors in January 2016 after flirting at not one but two Golden Globes after-parties. They soon began dating. However, they broke up after less than a year.<\/p>\n

But Perry and Bloom couldn’t keep away from each other too long, though, and reunited a few months later.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
