They started dating in January 2016 right after the 73rd Golden Globe Awards.

In the months that followed, the couple made many public appearances together and soon they became Perrybloom. They attended Adele’s concert together in February 2016 and Coachella in April. Throughout this time, they never officially confirmed their relationship.
While the world was looking forward to their first red carpet appearance together as a couple, they came to the Met Gala separately.

Their relationship broke the internet in August 2016 when photos from their vacation in Italy surfaced online. In one of the photos, Bloom was completely naked as he rode a paddle board with his daughter Perry.
And then came Halloween in 2016 when they dressed like Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton and the world couldn’t help but love them more. Towards the end of 2016, trouble seemed to have hit their haven when the first rumor of their breakup hit the headlines, but it turned out to be just rumors until March 2017 when their reps released statements confirming that the pair had indeed separated. Nevertheless, Bloom has been spotted with Pery on several occasions.
Rumors that they were trying to fix things were officially confirmed in February when a source linked to The Sun that they had started dating again. Perry herself confirmed the news of her reunion with Bloom in an interview with ET on April 26, 2018.
