Katy Perry is reportedly itching for Baby #2, and willing to set aside her career to make it happen.
Earlier this year, we heard about how Orlando Bloom and Katy’s separate lives might be impacting their marriage.
Now, she’s stepping back from the American Idol revival. She might be a lot less busy, career-wise.
Which could make this the perfect time to grow her little family.
After 7 seasons, Katy Perry is leaving ‘American idol’
The American Idol revival that no one needed and very few people wanted is losing its most notorious judge.
Apparently, Katy’s departure has to do with her desire to release new music in coming years, ABC refusing to raise her pay from $30 million, and her family planning.
Katy made the announcement on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week, dishing that it would likely be her last season as a judge.
According to what an inside source tells The Mirror, Katy Perry has “three factors at play centered around her deal and her family.”
The insider noted: “Katy enjoyed the best deal for reality in TV, worth around $30m a year. It made her the highest [paid] female star for reality and entertainment.”
Then, the source continued: “But ABC do not want to up it after five years of increases. There is no wiggle room as the parent company Disney looks to be cost effective and keep spending down for the next couple of years.”
Arguably, Katy Perry had no real choice but the leave ‘American Idol’
“That edict comes from the very top,” the insider emphasized. “So Katy was advised the deal is the same and you are welcome to continue.”
The source acknowledged: “ABC bosses know she is the one who draws the eyes to the show, but she also the most expensive.”
Obviously, $30 million per year is a tremendous and arguably obscene amount of money. But no matter the pay scale, she’s looking at a workplace that depends upon her but won’t pay enough to keep her.
“Katy has always told her friends that having a bigger family has been a dream,” the insider shared.
“She is 40 in the fall,” the source pointed out, “and loves her blended harmonious family with Orlando and his ex Miranda Kerr. But she would like a little sibling for Daisy.”
The insider added: “She came from a family with a sister and really felt that aided her childhood and growing up experience. She and Angela remain tight to this day.”
Orlando Bloom is an amazing partner and father
“The other thing is that Katy loves how Orlando is such a super dad to his children,” the insider added. If he’s such a good dad to little Daisy, then of course Katy knows that he’ll be great to Baby #2.
“That has made her love him even more,” the source described.
“She has learned from him how to balance work and personal time,” the insider revealed. “One could almost argue that he has helped him really find a balance in her life because of his influence.”
“And let’s make this clear Katy is a really hands on mum, who likes to be there for breakfast and bed time for Daisy. Being away from TV recordings increases that time,” the insider explained.
As wild as tour schedules can be, she could spend months on a tour and make much, much more money than American Idol is willing to pay her in a fraction of the time.
That would give Katy Perry and her handsome husband plenty of time to work on Baby #2. And maybe to turn their lengthy engagement into wedding plans, if they like.
