ith their wedding plans said to be well under way,
KATYPERRY and ORLANDOBLOOM jetted to Europe
to enjoy some sun, sea and surf (left).
The couple, who got engaged on Valentine’s Day (below),
were enjoying the sunshine together on the stunning beaches
of Ile de Ré, an island off the west coast of France.
California
girl Katy was
wearing a
flattering
floral
Morgan Lane
swimsuit as
she splashed
in the surf
with her
fiancé, who
has an eight-
year-old
son Flynn
with his first
wife, model
MIRANDA
KERR.
Katy, 34,
and Orlando,
42, who
live in Los
Angeles
together,
have been dating on and off since 2016.
According to sources, the wedding will take place in the autumn
and will be ‘a little different’ in style. Katy is said to be ‘leaning away
from wearing white’, although her family are apparently ‘doing their
best to encourage her to be more low-key!’
This will also be Katy’s second marriage. She tied the knot
with comedian RUSSELLBRANDin 2010 but split two years later.S
inger ARIANAGRANDE (right) has
opened up about the loss of her
former boyfriendMACMILLER,
admitting that
she turned to
drink to cope
with her grief.
The rapper,
real name
Malcolm
McCormick
(right), died
aged 26 in
his home
following an
accidental
overdose.
At the time,
Ariana was no
longer dating
him but the
tragedy hit
her hard.
Recalling
the time after
his death, she
told Vogue : ‘If
I’m completely
honest, Idon’t remember those months of my life
because I was (a) so drunk and (b) so sad.’
She also spoke about her difficult
decision to
tour, despite
her grief and
PTSD: ‘It’s
hard to sing
songs that
are about
wounds that
are so fresh.’
Describing
her grief as
‘pretty all-
consuming’,
the 26-year-
old singer
added: ‘By
no means
was what we
had perfect,
[but] he was
the best
person ever,
and he didn’t
deserve the
demons
he had.’
