Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Katy Perry has opened up about her relationship with her husband Orlando Bloom, claiming their mutual love of all things spiritual is what binds them together.

In a new interview with The Sunday Times Style, the singer revealed Lord of the Rings star Bloom gets up at 7am every morning and “chants for an hour”.

She said: “One of the things that binds us is our desire to be more spiritually evolved and our desire to investigate that realm. One of our main love languages is the spiritual evolution.

“We love mysticism, conspiracies, aliens, all that stuff. We love an adventure of the mind. That’s definitely something we are bound by.”

Perry did not elaborate on which conspiracies she was referring to, or indeed which aliens.

In the wide-ranging interview, the “I Kissed a Girl” singer also discussed her struggles with depression, her brief split from Bloom in 2017 and her excitement for their first child to be born.

Perry announced her pregnancy in March via the music video for her single "Never Worn White".

Her new album, Smile, is out on 28 August.
