Just one month after their red carpet debut as a couple, Katy celebrated her 34th birthday with Orlando. The pair enjoyed a romantic dinner at Barton G. restaurant in West Hollywood on October 25, 2018 (the day of her actual birthday). The private dinner began around 6:15 P.M and the couple exited the restaurant (seen above) at 8:45 P.M. Katy rocked a hot pink, skin tight, latex dress, while Orlando was dressed casually in grey pants and an army green jacket.
Orlando Proposes on Valentine’s Day in 2019
Orlando popped the question to Katy with a $5 million flower diamond ring with a ruby red center on February 14, 2019. She shared a closeup photo of her ring to Instagram, as the couple’s faces were partially pictured in the post. Orlando pulled out all the stops for the big occasion, having decorated the room he proposed in with tons of red heart-shaped balloons.
At the time, multiple jewelry experts weighed in on the unique diamond ring in exclusive interviews with HollywoodLife. “I would insure this ring for at least half a million dollars if it’s truly a ruby,” Ritani’s VP and 20-year diamond expert, Josh Marion, explained. “If it’s a vivid pink diamond, it would be worth around $5 million.”
Gemologist and diamond expert, Grant Mobley, said, “The white diamonds in the halo appear to be .30 carats each, making the diamond halo 2.5 carats total. This is a classic floral halo design in yellow gold, with milgrain etching around the diamond settings. The center stone [appears to be] an oval-shaped ruby with beautiful red color around 2 carats,” Mobley explained, adding, “Natural gemstones can be difficult to value accurately without seeing them in person.”
Additionally, experts at JamesAllen.com added, “The ring looks to be a 4 carat vivid pink diamond set in a yellow gold band with a halo of round diamonds. The approximate cost at a traditional retailer is $6 million.”

Katy Opens Up About Her Relationship With Orlando’s Son
The actor has a nine-year-old son, Flynn Bloom, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr. In September of 2019, Katy told Ellen DeGeneres that being around Flynn has “matured” her. “We have to be out the door at 7:30 to be there at 8:15 and we cannot be late,” she said, seemingly referencing car pickups with Miranda, who she has a friendly relationship with. “I used to not wake up until 11 a.m. and now I’m in bed like a normal person at 10 p.m., just, like, falling asleep. … I guess this is adulting,” Katy explained, adding, “That’s why I still dress like a child, to fight against!”
Katy & Orlando Postpone Their Wedding
Orlando revealed in March (2020) that they were thinking about putting their dream nuptials on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The couple’s wedding was initially supposed to take place in Japan at the end of 2019. Katy later clarified that she would not be marrying Orlando in 2020, due to the difficulties of planning a wedding during the global health crisis.
“You can’t plan anymore in 2020 because those plans are always canceled… Everyone has to take life one week at a time right now,” she told The Mirror in an interview published on July 25, 2020. Nonetheless, Katy noted that they’d eventually tie the knot. “Obviously, that will happen in the future, but for now we just want to deliver a healthy child,” the singer, who was pregnant at the time, explained.
“Katy and Orlando decided it was best to postpone their wedding for the time being,” a source close to the couple told HollywoodLife on July 26, 2020. “They are planning something really special and the timing didn’t work out at this moment in terms of the venue. They really want to make their wedding day incredible and they don’t want to rush the planning and possibly miss out on the little details.”

Katy Reveals Mental Health Issues After Her 2017 Split With Orlando
Following her pregnancy announcement, Katy opened up about a low point in her professional and personal life, which led to her considering suicide in 2017. In a candid June 2020 interview, the then pregnant singer explained how she recovered from being “broken” after a breakup with Orlando and poor album sales in 2017.
“I lost my smile,” Katy told host Tom Power, while appearing on SiriusXM Canadian radio show “Q on CBC.” She went on to admit that she was left “wallowing” in her “own sadness” at the time. “I don’t know if my smile was ever fully, like, authentically mine but I was riding on the high of a smile for a long time. Which was the validation, love, and admiration from the outside world, and then that shifted,” Katy recalled.
At the time (in 2017), “I had broken up with my boyfriend, who is now my baby-daddy-to-be, and then I was excited about flying high off the next record and the record didn’t get me high any more … The validation didn’t get me high, and so I just crashed,” Katy remembered. Clearly, the couple reconciled, and the rest is history.
