Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, couple turned good friends with cute dogs, are apparently dating officially again, or so their "friends" tell The Sun. "They're back on," a source said. "Katy wants to make things work this time around. She tried, but she couldn't cut him off. She cares too much about him. This time, they're keeping things low key–but they're back together."
Perry and Bloom were last spotted on vacation in the Maldives back in January. Fans saw them at luxury resort Amilla Fushi, and one photographed them having lunch outside.
As The Sun points out, the two have been not-so-subtly liking each other's Instagrams. Bloom liked a shot of Perry from a recent editorial:
Perry has liked basically all of Bloom's recent 'grams. She even commented on two:
Perry and Bloom first started dating after having a flirt fest at the Golden Globes 2016 afterparty. They went to several events together, then vacationed and Bloom was photographed naked paddleboarding. They also went to a Hello Kitty theme park.
The two broke up in February 2017. "Before rumors or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time," they said in a statement from their reps to Peopleat the time.
In August 2017, E! reported the two were seemingly on the way to getting back together. "They have never cut communication since they broke up," a source said then. "They just took a break because it was the best thing for them at that time, [but they] are seeing each other again."
"Katy and Orlando want this to work this time, so they are working on mending their relationship," the source continued. "They've had some really good talks and have a better understanding on their needs. Time will tell at this point, but [things are] looking very positive."
