Katy Perry has responded to recent suggestions that a photo showed her fiancé Orlando Bloom checking out Kim Kardashian.

During an appearance on the Elvis Duran Show on Tuesday, September 10, the photo in question was captured at the Kering Foundation's Caring for Women Dinner was brought up by Duran. "It's you taking a photo with Kim Kardashian, and Orlando is staring at her butt," he said around the 3:30 mark of the interview, as seen below. "I mean, how could you not?"

With a smile on her face, Perry said, "I approve." Duran read from a TMZ article detailing the photo, which noted that Bloom's hand was "right above Katy's butt." She added, "It's been other places, sorry to tell you. My daughter is four." She asked, "What's the controversy?" Duran replied, "There is no controversy." She said, "Oh, great. Count that click honey!"

Perry and Bloom met at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards and started dating shortly after. They briefly split in 2017, but confirmed they were back together in 2018. They got engaged in 2019 and welcomed their first child together the following year.

The couple have been very open about their relationship and even shared a cute TikTok video together earlier this month. In an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Perry suggested that one of her love languages is "acts of service," so if she comes home to a clean home she said she would reciprocate the effort with enthusiasm.

"So it's like if I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean, and you've done it all, and you've done all the dishes and you've closed all the pantry doors, you better be ready to get your dick sucked," she told podcast host Alex Cooper. In response, Bloom dropped a playful comment on Perry's post about the podcast. "I've cleaned the whole house," he wrote.
