Katy Perry recently shared insights into the reasons behind her decision to make a “pact” with her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, to abstain from alcohol for three months.
These days, Katy Perry doesn’t frequently indulge in the swish swish of alcohol. In fact, since February, the singer has been dedicated to a three-month sobriety “pact” with her fiancé, Orlando Bloom. While she admits to “not really drinking” during the week, she allows herself to “indulge a little bit” on the weekends.
Explaining the motivation behind their pact, Katy recently spoke to People magazine, saying, “We did this because he’s shooting a movie in London right now that’s taking every ounce of his focus, and so I wanted that opportunity to be supportive.” She added, “It’s really hard to do anything, whether that’s doing a cleanse or a reset, unless your partner’s doing it. So, doing it together makes it so much easier.”
For Katy, the period of sobriety offered a chance to “reset” and allow her body to recuperate. “I’ve had a pretty good relationship with just finding balance,” she shared. The 38-year-old pop star, who is also a mother to 2-year-old daughter Daisy Dove with Orlando, emphasized the importance of taking moments to reset, especially given the demands of her career and the energy of raising a toddler.
Katy Perry began her latest “reset” after President’s Day in February, and by March, she showed no signs of wavering. During a celebration for her non-alcoholic apéritif brand De Soi, she confessed to fellow American Idol judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, “I can’t cave. I made a promise.”
This isn’t the first time Katy has committed to a wellness plan. Following her divorce from Russell Brand in 2012, she embarked on a three-month detox that excluded alcohol. During a 2013 appearance on Alan Carr: Chatty Man, she revealed, “I did a lot of different things. I surrounded myself with my good friends, I did this whole cleanse where I didn’t have any alcohol for three months—that was devastating—I did vitamins and supplements, and hikes and meditation and prayer.” She attributed her positive outcome to the combination of various practices and a cosmic force looking out for her.
Katy Perry’s dedication to her well-being and her willingness to support her partner in their shared pact highlight her commitment to finding balance in her life and maintaining a positive mindset.
