Katy Perry Reveals Orlando Bloom’s Romantic Proposal Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom first met in 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty. Three years later, Bloom proposed to Perry. While on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!,' Perry explained how Bloom popped the question on their Valentine's Day date. He surprised the singer with a private helicopter ride over Los Angeles. Once in the air, Bloom gave her a note detailing his love for her. While she was reading it, he tried pulling an engagement ring box out of his pocket. The box was too big, and Bloom ended up ripping his jacket and smashing a bottle of champagne with his elbow. After popping the question, the pair landed on a rooftop where all of Perry’s family and friends were waiting to celebrate the good news. Katy Perry, on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'
