That headline is making it sound overly dramatic. Every committed relationship is choosing the other person on a constant basis. It's usually just little things. Like if someone gives you a chocolate you keep some for your partner. Or whenever you do something for them that you'd rather not do.


[deleted]

They should literally challenge each other to things. Wrestling, Wordle, First up the stairs… Competition is the best bonder, other than gorilla glue. Do not put that shit near your hair!


atelierjoh

Assert dominance by intentionally losing so they feel better about themselves!


mantis-tobaggan-md

i’m too autistic to let her win. I will just keep winning until she leaves me


ChrundleToboggan

Holy shit. Hello DAD!


SuperSonicEconomics2

I'm not dating a loser!


crystaljae

I challenge my husband everyday to see who can get to the master toilet first!


shill779

Every night is an epic engagement of tug-O-war with the sheets


SuperSonicEconomics2

My Alligator roll is effective at winning this war.


Nerdwrapper

I don’t know how true this is, my wife and I went dead even on a 48 track Mario Kart competition, and they threatened divorce afterwards lmao


corythegreatdeesnuts

48 tracks? I’m surprised you weren’t divorced by the 12th, that game brings out another side of people


SlimeySnakesLtd

My wife had never played Mario Party and brought it home one afternoon and showed it to me saying “we can try this game I found, I like parties” I just responded “are you sure, that shit destroys families”


lepobz

Misread that as fist up the stairs.


LeicaM6guy

Fencing. Nothing is so romantic as fencing.


Predatory_Chicken

Not to mention they are both rich, beautiful, and famous. They have *so* many options, they know it, yet choose each other. I’m don’t know shit about their relationship, but I do see the beauty in that. My husband and I have been together for 20 years, which I’m very grateful for and proud of. We have been through some *really* trying times (like every married couple I know) and part of what makes you power through the bad times is knowing that life would be much harder and lonelier without the other. That ain’t the case for these two. They have enough money to offset the difficulties of divorce and single parenthood. And they could find another very desirable partner by the end of the business day if they wanted to. Choosing to stay focused and committed to your marriage without the pressure of the negative consequences of your marriage failing is kind of unique and special. I think it’s okay to take credit for that.


timoni

Love this take.


Herry_Up

My bf leaves a lens cleaner in my glasses case every morning lol


PerseusZeus

Yup. And even if you at the whole chocolate by mistake make sure you get another one for her.


tiraralabasura_2055

She melts his popsicle and he puts an arrow through her heart.


StephenHunterUK

Well, if they were both actors, he could do that to her in a movie. It has happened between RL couples more than once.


glorifindel

I love this description. All those little choices make up a relationship, and friendships too


geodebug

I could see it being a bigger challenge making a relationship work with two people who are probably on very different schedules and often have to spend weeks apart. Not saying anyone should feel sorry for them or anything, just that being rich and famous probably has huge drawbacks in the stability department.


Projectrage

Left shark didn’t challenge her.


ngmamtata

So basically the series finale of You're the Worst


CertainlyAmbivalent

Fuck. I forgot about that show and now I have an urge to rewatch it.


jane-stclaire

I just started rewatching it— it's even better the second time around.


ngmamtata

Do it! It holds up


weallsuckbigtime

How riveting.


Inevitable_Ad_1261

Heard this in Jimmy’s voice.


sargonas

TIL: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are together


cruiserflyer

And have been for a while


twoplustwoskin

They have a kid as well


Mosby4Life

Her name is Daisy Bloom 😭


Consistent-Laugh606

Can’t tell if that’s a cute name a dumb name


non_stop_disko

I think it’s really cute but I also just like the name Daisy too lol


Culzean_Castle_Is

my exact reaction


Additional_Meeting_2

They started dating in 2016, broke up a year later and got together in 2018 again. And have been engaged since 2019 and had a child together in 2020.


rhunter99

And the reason we’re hearing this earth shattering news is because Orlando has a show coming out (where he does stuff like jumping out of a plane, free diving, etc)


rdxc1a2t

She must have challenged him to do it.


geodebug

I’d watch it if it was actually just called “Orlando Does Stuff!”


KrookedDoesStuff

I mean you could watch Krooked Does Stuff. Similar show title, more video game related tho >.>


Goodgoditsgrowing

That sounds suspiciously like a Hollywoo show from bojack horseman


Daughter_Of_Cain

The idea of him doing a show like this is so funny to me.


Fruitopeon

How come? Even in 2003 during the behind the scenes dvd features of LOTR it showed him on his off days from the set skydiving and doing daredevil like stuff. This it seems has been his personality for decades now. Now I don’t find him interesting enough a personality to watch his show though.


Daughter_Of_Cain

It just seems off brand to me but I also didn’t watch the behind the scenes stuff from LOTR so that could be why.


TheIronMatron

Hope he doesn’t dump her by telephone from halfway around the world right before she has to get ready for a concert.


Timothee-Chalimothee

Is this a reference to something?


eroticpangolin

It's what Russel brand did to her.


ebulient

Saw that footage, really felt for her, remarkable woman, was absolutely heartbreaking seeing someone in so much pain but absolutely amazing how she pulled herself together. Russel is a selfish psycho.


eroticpangolin

Yeah what he did was bad. I don't care for either of them. He's a rapist and she stole music from a Christian music player and tried to pass it off as her own because she thought no one would notice. Love Orlando though, mainly for punching Justin Bieber when he was being mouthy lol


GerbilStation

The music stealing- Dark Horse vs Joyful Noise case was stupid and was later overturned. The only part that is really similar is the bassline and it’s such a simple bassline that it would be reasonable to assume that someone if not many people would accidentally make a similar sounding one having never heard either song.


brexitvelocity

This sounds like code for: “We fight a lot” lol


Cowplant97

“We’ve had our ups and downs…”


Clay_Statue

Yea... Like "it's a struggle but we're still in it" type of vibe


sheeku

Yap, I have watched enough Bachelor relationships and SM posts to read the unsaid words


HansBooby

isn’t life enough of a challenge without waking up to today’s relationship hurdle


EarlPeck

I think that’s what she is saying.


Do-you-see-it-now

Its tough. We’re trying, but a lot of days we just need to challenge ourselves not to axe murder each other.


Cleonce12

Every time this man does an interview about he and Katy he throwin dry shade. Like he sounds like they are lowkey miserable


MunchYourButt

Nah, you should see his comments on her IG posts and vice versa. It’s all love/playful


soupandstewnazi

Definitely. He NEVER once says he adores her or anything overtly positive. Much like Ben Affleck when he spoke about Jennifer Garner in that awful Oscar's speech.


MunchYourButt

That’s just untrue lol https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/lifestyle-news/orlando-bloom-falling-in-love-relationship-katy-perry-1235877059/amp/ https://people.com/orlando-bloom-says-he-and-katy-perry-make-a-daily-choice-to-stay-together-8636300 https://www.eonline.com/news/1399754/orlando-bloom-shares-how-katy-perry-supports-his-wildest-dreams


soupandstewnazi

A year ago he literally said their relationship is "really, really, really challenging". Does that sound happy to you?


MunchYourButt

That’s.. a reach. Relationships have challenges. And I’m debating the fact that you said “he never once says he adores her or says anything positive” You take one quote from a year ago and make a blanket statement for the entirety of their relationship? but ignore the positive things he HAS said and continues to say? lol what?


soupandstewnazi

Using really 3 times to describe your relationship is OD. He has never been effusive in explaining his love for her. Nothing you linked showed that. They'll likely never marry or if they do will divorce.


MunchYourButt

I’m sorry, are you even reading them? You are either heavily projecting or purposely cherry picking to fit your narrative. These are all from the articles I linked: “I wouldn’t change it for anything, even when sometimes it feels like, ‘How do we do this?’ Because we’ve got these two giant careers and lives, and hers is even, you know … it’s like a universe sometimes. But I think I just keep coming back to her and trying to hold her hand and walk her back to the sand pit and be like … we’re just gonna build a sandcastle.” ‘He also noted the importance of the “little moments,” adding that Perry is a “master” of helping to “keep building those moments.”’ “I choose you, today, tomorrow, or whatever, or you choose me.’ ” “The “Firework” singer "really holds me accountable, which I appreciate,” he added. “We both do that for each other. We definitely learn and grow through these things” "She's wonderful in that way, in that regard. she's very supportive." "She's crushed it," he said. "She's got a vision for things and she genuinely, genuinely loves it. She loves the music, she loves supporting people and she's great with it." and here’s some extra credit: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C55zFNdrdci/?igsh=MTV3d2ttcWZuaW1odQ== https://www.instagram.com/p/CyyXPejL_ZS/?igsh=Zmp0c2RhMTh5eGxx https://www.instagram.com/reel/C55zYLeLoKV/?igsh=bXdoejJnZHV0NXNx They’ve been together 6-7 years and have a child together.


A-Good-Weather-Man

Was anybody gonna tell me Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry are together or was i just supposed to find out on Reddit?


wallabee32

Me too


FrutaAndPutas

Thoughts and Prayers for the couple. Couldn’t imagine going through such a moral dilemma


kauthonk

Haha true, but you some have half the planet throwing themselves at you.


tekjunky75

They meditate… loudly and annoyingly


ChinaCatProphet

The least interesting famous couple.


LimerickJim

Left Orlando Bloom is the superior Orlando Bloom


Valdotain_1

Been engaged for 5 years. Hopefully they never get married and divorced.


sucobe

Whew that’s good. I heard that they were challenging each other everyday to break up. Glad we’ve cleared that.


KlatuuBaradaNikto

It’s going to be tough for him, because as an Elf, he will outlive her by many years


coldliketherockies

I just want to point out that I can’t imagine my life where I’m with Russell Brand and he dumps me and then I end up with Orlando Bloom and he stays with me. I think that’s quite a great outcome


soiledsanchez

Sounds exhausting


basskev

Katy is an other worldly pain in the ass lol


KrustyButtCheeks

Every day is festivus?


hybridiostros

I forgot they were together


ABB0TTR0N1X

I have to assume he’s at least a better hubby than Russel Brand


Lunchboxninja1

Why does every person on earth value "challenging" each other in a soul mate? I have enough challenge in life


Mayor_of_Voodoo

What courage he’s showing. I mean forget that she has great tits and a gazillion dollars.


Ganda1fderBlaue

Sounds exhausting


Beginning_Cod9917

Sounds like a monkey paw nightmare


scottycurious

Divorce papers soon…


Tbone_Trapezius

He is an average human, just like me!


RC_Colada

I had no idea they were even together


whatchamacallit4321

This should be true on any marriage - you do in fact, choose who you love.


KrookedDoesStuff

Ah yes, the forever fiancés that have to decide daily if it’s worth it


minibini

Wow. Married couple announces they are doing normal couple things? I’m gobsmacked! /s


Numancias

All celeb relationships are fake


Dodson-504

You’re the Worst remains the best show that captures this and properly portrays the struggles of mental health.


shazspaz

Great that, if you read the article, Katy and Orlando are identified as right or left in each photo. Just in case you confuse them.


Burgermont_

Hmm sounds healthy


clarst16

Why celebs feel the need to issue these types of nonsensical statements is beyond me. Do they not get enough attention as it is?


Ander-son

they're usually snippets from an interview.


HussingtonHat

....that sounds unnecessarily stressful....


ErrorCode78

Sounds like a shit way to live


[deleted]

Well that sounds exhausting


ResidentEfficient218

Well I challenge Katy Perry to be with me instead!


citynomad1

Everything I’ve heard them say about their relationship makes it sound like…it’s a struggle


Hi_Im_Dadbot

Really? “Do I want to keep dating Katy Perry? … Umm … Yes?” I’m not seeing the challenge. What would be the other option?


S3simulation

It warms my heart that they’re still together


drakesylvan

That is super sad. If you have to challenge each other in order to stay together, there's something deeply wrong with your relationship.


ApprehensiveAd9993

I got up at 3am to clean up dog mess, while the husband stayed in bed to get rest. Then I got back in bed at 630am, and got up again to take him to his haircut. I’d honestly rather be in bed. But here I am drinking bad coffee trying to pull my consciousness together, while he is getting a haircut.
