After three years of on-and-off dating, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are engaged, they announced on Instagram last night!
The Pirates of the Caribbean star popped the question to the singer on Valentine's Day, and presented her with a flower shaped engagement ring. "Lifetimes," he captioned a pic of the pair right after it happened. "Full bloom," the pop princess captioned the same snapshot on her own Instagram account.
The couple first met at a Golden Globes after party back in 2016, and dated until Feburary 2017 when they split. After some time apart, they reconciled in January 2018 and have been going strong ever since. Prior to their romance, Orly was married to supermodel Miranda Kerr, and KP was in a longterm relationship with John Mayer.
This proposal doesn't come as a total surprise, as insiders had been hinting at it for a while now.
"Katy and Orlando have worked out all their kinks and have had really fluid communication about what each of them wants. Katy doesn’t want this relationship to be a repeat cycle of things she’s already experienced in past relationships that didn’t work out. She’s learned to grow from them and doesn’t want that in her current relationship," a source dished to Us Weekly.
"They really try to communicate well and spend as much time together as possible. Obviously, they’re both very busy, but they prioritize communicating and working their schedules around each other. They are very much in love, so an engagement wouldn’t be a surprise," the source added.

We're dying to know what he has planned for her!
We caught Jennifer Garner and boyfriend John Miller going about their business separately in the Pacific Palisades today, with her catching a boxing class and him fueling up at the pump, but they're bound to be together tonight since it's Valentine's Day after all!
The Peppermint star and her businessman beau have gotten "serious" over the six months they have been dating, and they're making less and less of an effort to hide their relationship from the public these days. A prime example? The brunette beauty had no problem cuddling and hugging her man as they waited for a table at breakfast yesterday. It must be love!
As for her ex Ben Affleck, he's reportedly on the verge of a reconciliation with his mistress-turned-girlfriend-turned-ex Lindsay Shookus! The two broke up amid his battle with alcohol addiction, but now that he's back on the right path, they've been secretly keeping in communication.
"[Ben and Lindsay] have been talking and have seen each other again. It wouldn't be surprising if they got back together. Ben is in a much better place healthwise and is a lot happier," a source dished to Us Weekly.

What better way to clear out the energy of old romances!
Kristen Stewart and new girlfriend Sara Dinkin celebrated Valentine's Day early yesterday with a trip to the sweat lodge in LA, and both ladies emerged looking sweaty and relaxed after their session.
Their relationship isn't without its drama, though!
The Twilight star's supermodel ex Stella Maxwell is reportedly none too pleased that her chick has moved on so quickly with the Hollywood stylist, and has no problem letting her feelings be known.
"Kristen falls so easily and she is really into Sara. But her model ex (Maxwell) told everyone that Sara is a rebound and contacted Sara to let her know that Kristen is only using her. [Kristen] flipped out on Stella and told her to leave her and her life alone," a source dished to Radar.
It sounds like the Victoria's Secret stunner was the one who messed up, though, by using their high profile love affair to further her fame and career.
"Stella f****d it up, not Kristen. Kristen wanted something real with someone low key and Sara doesn’t care about the spotlight. She treats Kristen like a normal person, just as she is," the source added, noting that the former pair made a pact to keep any future dating out of the public eye, which obviously hasn't happened.
K-Stew is so smitten, it appears she's thrown the rule book out the window.
"Kristen couldn’t help herself and decided to go public with Sara almost right away. Kristen and Sara are already talking about moving in together," the insider revealed.

He wants to be a better man before walking down the aisle!
Justin Bieber and wife Hailey have put their wedding on hold so that the singer can focus on "getting well mentally" amid his battle with depression, but there's certainly no trouble in paradise! Actually, it's the total opposite...
The Biebs has been leaning on his bride for strength as he works through his issues, and part of what's motivating his healing is the desire to be a better partner for her.
"They will have a wedding ceremony with family and friends eventually. However, right now, Justin’s focus is getting well mentally. Justin is doing okay. He is very focused and committed to getting help. Hailey is very supportive — Justin is very open about that Hailey does nothing but help him. He would feel even more lost without Hailey — he is very grateful. They are both focused on having a happy marriage," a source dished to People.
"He wants to be the best possible husband for Hailey. It’s one thing to have your issues when you’re single, but when you’re married, there’s two people’s happiness at stake. He’s working on himself so that he can be a good partner to her. This is not marriage counseling and this isn’t an indication that anything is wrong with the marriage," the source added.
So just what is the extent of his problems?
"They don’t have problems — it’s Justin who does. He has anxiety and a lot of big issues that make it difficult for him to function on a daily basis. And he’s so reliant on Hailey. He sees a therapist, but he’s not in a special center or anything. He struggles with ups and downs, anxiety, depression and uncertainty about the future," another source echoed to Us Weekly.
This is a LOT to handle so early in a relationship!

He's got some regrets.
Now that they've reconnected and are working on their friendship, Brad Pitt wishes he had done things differently when breaking up with Jennifer Aniston way back in 2005.
"[Brad] doesn’t like to dwell on the past, but of course wishes he’d handled the end of their marriage in a more thoughtful manner. He asked for Jen’s forgiveness a long time ago and she gave it," a source dished to Us Weekly.
It seems all the bad blood is water under the bridge at this point, which means... you guessed it! The rumor mill has been in overdrive ever since he attended the Friends star's birthday bash last weekend, and now there are reports that they're slowly preparing everyone so that when they go public with a rekindled romance, nobody is that shocked.
Getting cozy with his ex-wife might not be the best idea at this point in time, as it's bound to piss off his other ex Angelina Jolie. The two are locked in a bitter custody battle, and now there's a report going around that she plans on releasing a video of the actor in a drunken rage in an effort to win sole custody of their six children.
"Angie sees this as her ace in the hole. Ever since she saw the video, Angie has been up all night plotting, talking to her lawyers and taking notes. She is fully prepared to leak the video to news media to get what she wants… If this video becomes public, it would crush him. But Angie is so fixated on winning this court battle, she doesn’t care,†an insider told The Frisky.

Aww she seems so happy!
Jennifer Garner and boyfriend John Miller headed to Farmshop in Brentwood for an early breakfast yesterday morning, and the couple couldn't keep their hands off each other! The actress hugged her beau as they waited for a table, and she certainly made no effort to hide their relationship.
Things between the pair started out as casual, but things have gotten pretty serious over the six months that they've been dating. Just how serious?
A source tells X17:
"Jen is telling friends she's in love with John. She has introduced him to her kids, and he has introduced her to his. They have taken secret vacations together as a blended family, and they both seem to be in it for the long haul. Jen loves how secure John makes her feel, after spending years wondering about Ben Affleck's commitment to her."
Speaking of her ex, he's taken a bit of a back seat as this romance has heated up.
Another source tells us:
"Jen used to spend a ton of time with Ben, but she recently backed off and is keeping things strictly to co-parenting. John has never asked her to put some distance between herself and Ben, but she feels like it's the respectful thing to do. She wants John to know that he is her main priority, and with Ben sober and doing better, she no longer feels she needs to act like his mom and watch over him."

We hope not!
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson's relationship has been rocky at best ever since he cheated on her with multiple women days before she gave birth to their daughter True, but it sounds like it might be over for real soon!
She goes through men quicker than most people change their bedsheets!
Blac Chyna and Soulja Boy got everyone talking by posting cuddly pics with each other to their Instagram accounts, and they have no problem letting the world know that they're dating.
So how did this new romance blossom, you ask? On social media, of course!
They both "slid" into each other's DMs on Instagram, and the relationship was off and running, TMZ reports. The two have been hanging out for about a week, and recently sealed the deal at Sean Kingston's penthouse. Random!
Last month, the cops were called to BC's hotel room because she was having a domestic dispute with her then-boyfriend Kid Buu, but that relationship is now in the rear view.
We wonder what her other ex Rob Kardashian thinks about all this? We just hope she's finally figured out how to use birth control!
