Katy explained that they were after different things at the start of their relationship.

“We weren’t really in it from day one. He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can’t do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond, but I had to do a lot real work,” she recalled, via Page Six.

After attending a retreat, she added that Orlando “wasn’t playing that cat-mouse game anymore.”

“And I was like, ‘This is boring. I’m moving on.’ I was so used to this push-pull. Because once you have it. I was playing games,” she continued.

Their year apart was “really tough,” but it ultimately helped inspire Katy‘s decision to participate in the same retreat. Doing so brought them back together and helped them to speak “the same language.

“I would be dead without it. I would not be on this planet without that process and meditation. Because the noise got so large,” she said. “It just helped me rewire what I think about myself, and it helped me connect my head to my heart.”

Katy added that she showed Orlando her “worst,” and he wasn’t ruffled.

“I showed him the worst of me. I was like, ‘Here’s the next test. I’m gonna show you the craziest b-tch you’ve ever seen,’ and he was like, ‘I’m not shook.’ And I was like, ‘You’re my baby daddy.’ If you’re not shook by this, then we’re going the distance,” she said.
