While we might have all shed a tear when Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom ended their romance back in February after 10 months of dating, we can't deny the elation we felt when the pair were spotted in the audience at an Ed Sheeran concert last week in Los Angeles.

But before you start scrolling through ASOS to find a suitable wedding outfit for the pair's nuptials (because, you know, surely their recent date night is proof they're back on?), Perry is quick to let you in on a little secret when it comes to her relationship with Bloom.

During an interview with the hosts of Sirius FM's Morning Mash Up show yesterday, the Californian singer revealed dating - Bloom, or anyone else for that matter - isn't exactly on her brain at the moment.

'I think people are in and out of your life and it's nice to keep people you love around you,' she explained.

Yes, you read that correctly, she used the word 'love' to describe the British actor.

'When you get older, lines get blurred,' the 32-year-old added. 'And you know what, I'm really busy. I'm about to go on tour for another year.'

I mean, with a gig hosting this weekend's MTV Vmas in Los Angeles and rumours she's joining the American Idol judging panel in 2018, it's no wonder Perry fancies a little break from dating.

But, this is Orlando Bloom we're talking about - the same man who opened up to ELLE UK about the hysteria following #PenisGate in August 2016 when he was photographed paddleboarding off the coast in the buff with his then-girlfriend, Perry.

Love is in the air, Katy - just admit it.
