Katy reveals why she and Orlando signed a three-month sobriety deal and meals she now indulges for free on weekends
Katy Perry has shed some light on her decision to strike a three-month sober pact with her fiancé Orlando Bloom early this year.
She announced in March that she and Orlando had been on the wagon for five weeks, telling People: ‘I made a promise. Three months.’
Now in a new interview she revealed that she embarked on the temporary dry period because she regarded it as ‘an opportunity to reset.’
The I Kissed A Girl singer added: ‘We reset after President’s Day, and it was a great opportunity to just let my body bounce back a little bit.’
Katy evidently ‘had a pretty good relationship with just finding balance,’ and will now ‘not really’ drink during the week, though ‘on the weekend I’ll indulge a little bit.’
The pop act prefers not to ‘really identify with any labels as far as sober or whatever,’ but does ‘love to have my reset moments, especially being 38, balancing the intensity of my career and having a toddler who loves to run.’
Katy revealed that Orlando, with whom she shares a two-year-old daughter called Daisy, also had certain work commitments that contributed to their detox decision.
‘We did this because he’s shooting a movie in London right now that’s taking every ounce of his focus, and so I wanted that opportunity to be supportive.
It’s really hard to do anything, whether that’s doing a cleanse or a reset, unless your partner’s doing it. So, doing it together makes it so much easier,’ she said.
Her latest statements come a week after American Idol alum Oliver Steele defended her again from the ‘bullc***’ backlash against her.
Katy has been raked over the coals online over her spiky remarks to contestants, with social media critics accusing her of ‘bullying’ from the judging panel.
