Katy and Orlando are engaged
Stars posted a picture on Instagram showcasing a sizable flower-shaped ring
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom did little to dispel engagement rumours this Valentine’s Day.
Instead, pop star Perry, 34, fanned the flames by posting a strategically cropped photo on Instagram showcasing a sizable flower-shaped ring, which she captioned with the pun “full bloom.” Bloom, 42, shared the same picture, but captioned his “Lifetimes.”
That, of course, led to reports that The Lord of the Rings actor popped the question on the love-filled holiday, which the two celebrated together.
So are they or aren’t they? According to People and E! News, they are, but most outlets used the photo as confirmation rather than an actual statement.
Some publications cited Perry’s mother, Mary Hudson, as a source after she reportedly shared images and the message “look who got engaged” on Facebook. But since her posting was swiftly deleted we can’t count this as confirmation.. Celebrity friends, including Perry collaborator Zedd, actresses Kate Hudson and Zoe Saldana, singers Gwen Stefani and Dua Lipa didn’t need to wait for official confirmation before commenting with congratulatory messages.
E! News was ready with the details about the floral ring, citing a jewellery expert who said it would retail in the range of $5 million (Dh18.3 million) and likely boasts a four-carat pink oval-shaped diamond, which is encircled by eight white diamonds.
If the couple does go on to marry, it would be the second marriage for each of them.
