GOSSIP & RUMORS: Katy Perry testifies Orlando Bloom’s ‘family for life’ in trial against veteran

Katy Perry addressed where her relationship stands with her ex-fiancé, Orlando Bloom.

The pop star, 40, took the stand virtually on Tuesday, August 26, the same day that their daughter, Daisy Dove, turned 5, in the multimillion-dollar mansion fight against an 85-year-old US veteran.

Perry appeared via video as she was cross-examined for roughly an hour in what sources inside the Los Angeles, Calif., courtroom described to The Post as pajama wear.

Bloom was dragged into the real estate battle after it was revealed in court that he allegedly paid the funds for the mansion through an LLC and not the singer, as reported by TMZ.

While Wescott’s attorneys claimed that revelation proved Perry didn’t have financial stake in the home, the “Teenage Dream” singer shot down their accusations, per the outlet.

While under oath, Perry— who is currently on tour — said she and Bloom are “family for life” despite their breakup months ago. The superstar argued that she’d benefit from the purchase of the Montecito, Calif., property despite allegedly not clarifying if the exes were still financial partners after their split.

The Post reached out to Perry’s rep for comment.

Westcott has not been present for the expected six-day trial, either, which kicked off on August 21. The 1-800-Flowers founder’s health has declined over the past several years. He suffers from the neurological disorder Huntington’s disease, with his family telling The Post he’s been bedridden for around 4 years.

Perry and Westcott have been tangled in a legal feud since 2020, when he sued the Grammy winner after she bought his Montecito, Calif., estate, via her business manager Bernie Gudvi.

Days after signing the sale contract, the entrepreneur attempted to back out of the deal, citing his mental incapacity. He also claimed he was recovering from surgery, on medication, and not in his right mind when he made the decision to sell his 8.9-acre property.

Despite his argument, a judge ruled that “Westcott presented no persuasive evidence that he lacked capacity to enter into a real estate contract between June 10, 2020, and June 18, 2020, the days during which he negotiated and signed the contract.”

He also ruled that there was significant evidence to demonstrate Westcott knowingly signed the contract, noting he seemed to be “coherent, engaged, lucid, and rational.”

Perry was declared the rightful owner of the home in December 2023.

The “Wide Awake” singer later countersued Westcott for nearly $6 million in damages, citing structural defects, deferred maintenance, and lost rental income — thus, sparking phase two of the trial, known as the penalty phase.

Westcott’s family was ready to see Perry take the stand.

One of his sons, Chart, previously told The Post that he was eager for the pop star’s testimony, hoping it would “let me know that there’s an actual human being in there” with “empathy and compassion left.”

He also shared that he could show Perry grace if she sincerely apologized for “dragging out” the legal process. However, sources familiar with the case point out that Westcott’s team has allegedly requested continuances in the trial six times between 2022 and 2025, while the singer’s attorneys only sought to push it once due to another trial.

“An apology would be nice. That would tie a ribbon around the whole thing,” Chart shared last week, noting he wasn’t expecting it.

“I don’t think it’s in her nature to take responsibility for anything, really at all, but certainly not for her bad acts. She doesn’t take responsibility, so that’s not going to happen. But that would be nice,” he stated.

Chart discussed his father’s ailing health, telling The Post he’s “tired, dying and old.”

His brother, Court, who’s married to “Real Housewives of Dallas” alum Kameron Westcott, also addressed their dad’s condition.

“He’s fading very much and we’re toward the end for sure,” he shared outside the courtroom last week.

As for Perry and Orlando, the pair ended their 6-year engagement in June.

They later confirmed the split through their reps, who noted they “have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting.”
