Katy Perry supports fiancé's ex-wife

Walks the red carpet with Orlando Bloom’s ex Miranda Kerr

“I’M SO GRATEFUL FOR OUR MODERN BLENDED FAMILY. IT'S LIKE I GAINED ANOTHER SISTER, ONE WITH WHOM I USUALLY SIDEBAR FROM THE MAIN FAMILY CHAT AND AGREE WITH” — KATY PERRY

Katy Perry attended the 20th anniversary G’day USA Arts Gala 2023 on Saturday to show her support for fiancé Orlando Bloom’s ex-wife Miranda Kerr.

Kerr received the Excellence in Arts award at the Gala, which celebrates and showcases the innovative work of Australians in America.

“Known for her celebrated modeling career, she is also a dedicated philanthropist, a respected businesswoman & entrepreneur,” the organisation wrote of Kerr on their Instagram.

Perry teased their family dynamic during her introduction for Kerr, telling audience members, “Some of you might be confused about why I’m introducing Miranda. That doesn’t play into the antiquated narrative of ex-wives and new wives. And yes, it’s true, most of the media would like to see us mud wrestle, including [her husband] Evan [Spiegel], but we are here to lead by love because Miranda is love. And as a lot of you know, love comes in many family iterations.”

Kerr shared a video of herself on the red carpet with Perry’s song California Gurls playing on her Instagram story, according to reports.

The Roar singer presented Kerr with the Excellence in Arts award, calling her a “sister from another mister, my health and wellness guru and the heart of our family.” Kerr posted part of the speech to her Instagram stories.

“I love [Perry]. I mean, it’d be safe to say that I love her more than Flynn’s dad,” Kerr said on the Moments With Candace Parker podcast in 2021. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel has been married to Snapchat cofounder Evan Spiegel since 2017 and has since welcomed two more children.
