Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom  got engaged on Valentine’s Day after three years of being together. The “Chained to the Rhythm” singer stopped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Monday night to share all the fun details. 

Perry said the proposal took place in a helicopter after the two went to dinner, which Kimmel said was “very Bachelor”-like of the actor to do. 

But things almost took a turn for the worse when Bloom started to propose in the air. He handed Perry a note to read while he tried to get the engagement ring box out of his pocket, where it was stuck.

“So I’m reading [the note], but I’m hearing like the Champagne is broken, the bottle’s everywhere and I’m still looking at the note because he’s pulling at this box that’s too big for his coat pocket and rips his coat pocket, and his elbow goes into the Champagne,” she said. 

“And I’m like, ‘No, I’m just reading the note. I know you’re not doing anything.’” 

Luckily, the rest of the proposal went off without a hitch, as the helicopter landed on a rooftop in downtown LA where Perry’s family and friends were waiting. 

“He did so well,” the singer said. 

Perry said the two met some years ago at the Golden Globes, where they bonded over an In-N-Out burger.  

“He stole one off of my table I was sitting with Denzel Washington, and he took it, and I was like, ‘Wait who? Oh, you’re so hot. Fine, take it,’” Perry told Kimmel.

Perry said she later inquired how the burger was at a Golden Globes party that night, asking, “How are those onions resting on your molars?” 

Ah, true love. 

The singer and “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor have been on and off since 2016 , but now it’s on for life.

Perry was married once before to British actor and comedian Russell Brand, though the two called it off in 2012. Bloom split from his first wife, supermodel Miranda Kerr, in 2013; the two have a son.

Kerry Washington is as good at keeping a secret as her "Scandal" character, Olivia Pope. The actress wed former San Francisco 49ers player Nnamdi Asomugha in 2013 and the couple reportedly now have three kids.

During a 2016 South by Southwest panel in Austin, Washington opened up about why she prefers to keep her private life private.

"If I don't talk about my personal life, it means I don't talk about my personal life," she said. "That means not only did I not tell you when I was getting married, it also means if somebody has rumors about what's going on in my marriage, I don't refute them, because I don't talk about my personal life."

"The Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons and his husband Todd Spiewak were together for nearly 15 years before they decided to get hitched in March 2017 .

In an interview with Stephen Colbert later that year, the actor opened about why he and Spiewak took their time getting married.

We just didnt care about the act of it that much, to be honest with you, Parsons said . That sounds cold in a way but I finally thought: Well, lets have a party then for the celebration and well go ahead and legalize this thing."

But Parsons said getting married ended up being "more meaningful in the moment" than he could have predicted.

"It's been resonantly much more meaningful than for me afterward than I ever saw coming, he said . You know, I had been an adult gay person for so long at a time where that wasnt possible where life was fine for me.

"And so, for now, Im just a protective dad, and I want to protect his privacy.
