After eight years together and a daughter, one might assume that pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have settled into the typical routines of long-term couples.
But Perry, never one to shy away from surprising revelations, recently shared an unusual strategy to keep their relationship exciting: offering intimate rewards for completing household chores.
A Clean Kitchen Equals a Happy Perry
During an interview on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, Perry revealed that she uses a rather unconventional method to motivate Bloom to do the dishes.
“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 d**k sucked,”
The singer confessed, explaining that a spotless kitchen is her version of a romantic gesture. “I don’t need a red Ferrari! I can buy a red Ferrari. Just do the fking dishes. I will suck your d**k! It’s that easy.”
Orlando’s Witty Response
Bloom, who clearly took Perry’s incentive to heart, wasted no time in responding to her saucy admission.
After a post about Perry’s podcast appearance went up on Instagram, the Pirates of the Caribbean star cheekily commented, “I’ve cleaned the whole house,” much to the delight of fans.
The internet quickly picked up on the playful exchange, with one user commenting, “You really know how to make her happy,” while another simply added, “DEAD.”
An Unconventional Love Language
While some might find Perry’s approach unconventional, the singer describes this arrangement as her love language—proof that every couple has their own unique ways of keeping the romance alive.
Rather than fancy cars or lavish gifts, Perry values the small yet meaningful gesture of a clean kitchen, showing that sometimes it’s the simplest acts that mean the most.
A Love Story Rooted in Humor
Perry and Bloom’s playful dynamic has been evident throughout their relationship. Prior to becoming a couple, both had experienced high-profile marriages—

Fans Weigh In
The internet remains divided over Perry’s revelation, with some praising the couple’s honesty and playful spirit, while others express surprise at their candidness. But one thing is certain: Perry and Bloom are comfortable charting their own course, regardless of public opinion.
More Than Just a Clean House
This isn’t the first time the couple has openly discussed their personal lives. In 2021, Bloom mentioned in an interview that they weren’t having “enough” sex post-baby, a sentiment many new parents can relate to. Despite the challenges, Perry and Bloom continue to find ways to connect, whether through candid conversations or humorous social media exchanges.
