In an interview with Paper Magazine just days ago, Katy said: ‘I’m very pragmatic and logistical and I am less fantastical about things… I mean, I was married when I was 25…
‘I’m 34. It was almost 10 years ago. I was like, ‘One person for the rest of my life,’ and I’m not so sure that that idea is for me. I’m just such a different person than I was.’
On her ill-fated marriage to Russell Brand she told W Magazine: ‘I really loved it. It was a new, fun, exciting journey.
‘I like how I am now, and I think all things happen for a reason.’
Last October, a source told PEOPLE: ‘Orlando doesn’t have a ring yet but has been talking about the future.

Orlando popped the question to Katy at a Valentine’s themed party
In April of that year, Orlando spoke of his love for Katy in an interview with The Times.
He said: ‘She’s a remarkable human being, actually. I wouldn’t have imagined anything happening.
‘And, you know, when you get hit sideways you get hit sideways. You don’t pick who you fall in love with.’
The sweet comments came after a source told People magazine that the couple were ‘more serious than ever’ since a year apart.
According to the reports, the pop princess and actor ‘missed each other’ when they called time on their romance.
The source said: ‘Orlando and Katy are great. They are dating exclusively again and things seem more serious.’
The insider added that Orlando became bored of living the single life during his break from Katy, and the Pirates Of The Caribbean star wants to focus on being a one-woman man.
Katy was previously married to Russell Brand from October 23, 2010 – July 16, 2012.
Orlando was married to Australian model Miranda Kerr from 2010–2013 and they have a son together called Flynn Christopher, eight.
