Bloom also acknowledged the importance of the California Girls singer in his life. He added,
“You fell in love with her as Katy Perry. I fell in love with her as Katheryn Hudson… A global superstar who brings love, light and her unique sense of humor to every song she writes and music video she creates. I know her as a mother, as a partner, who brings that same love and joy to our family… Congratulations on this honor, baby”.
