Katy Perry’s Wildest Confessions: Sex, Love & Space Missions

Katy Perry shares raw stories about her love life, space trip, and past flings—proving she’s as bold in real life as she is on stage.

Katy Perry isn’t shy about speaking her truth—from exploring her sexuality to candid confessions about her relationship with Orlando Bloom. Now, fresh off a headline-making Blue Origin spaceflight, she’s reflecting on everything from motherhood to her wildest love life moments.

The 40-year-old pop star became emotional after her 62-mile trip to space, kissing the ground and clutching a single daisy—a tribute to her daughter, Daisy Dove. She called the flower a symbol of strength and resilience, saying she brought it aboard the flight for that very reason.

But while Perry described the space mission as “the highest high,” she’s just as known for keeping it real about her sex life. In past interviews, she’s spoken openly about same-sex experiences, growing up in a conservative religious home, and how her views shifted as she met people who embraced their truth.

Katy first sparked conversation with her 2008 hit I Kissed a Girl, a song inspired by real-life moments. At a Human Rights Campaign gala, she shared that her experiences went beyond the lyrics and talked about reconciling her curiosity with her religious upbringing.

Today, she credits her growth to the people she met along the way—people she described as “magic” for living authentically.

Her romantic life has been just as colorful. With Orlando Bloom, whom she’s been with since 2016, Katy has shared not only parenting duties but some racy details too. In one cheeky interview, she called him a “wild stallion” and joked about rewarding his household chores with explicit favors—“Just do the dishes,” she laughed, “and I’ll take care of the rest.”

Their relationship had a brief break in 2017 before they reconciled. Around that time, Katy ranked her former lovers during a James Corden segment—putting John Mayer at the top, followed by Orlando.

Earlier in her career, she dated Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. Her 2010 track Circle the Drain was rumored to be about their breakup, with lyrics hinting at his struggles with substance use.

From intergalactic highs to blunt honesty about her love life, Katy Perry continues to surprise fans with her mix of vulnerability and boldness.
