The 41-year-old star said she couldn’t be happier with her life.
“Every day is a fantastic journey, and every day is a chance to evolve, and to be a better person and do the right thing and to be a model for your community, for your family, for your world.

“I feel like a more grounded person in so many aspects of my life.”
Perry reflected on how 2025, the year her engagement to Bloom ended, was “one of the hardest” periods of her life.
“I went through a f***-tonne, and there were days that were really, really, really, really hard.
“And I just kept going ’cause I made a promise to my fans. I made a promise to my daughter. I made a promise to myself. And I got through it.
“I walked through the fire because everybody has to walk through their own fire, and if you’re walking through hell, you keep going because on the other side of hell is definitely heaven.”
The Roar hitmaker said she is “different” now and has embraced life in her 40s.
“Your 20s are for emotions. Your 30s are for sorting them, and your 40s are for f***ing not caring about those emotions and turning them into gasoline – finally transmuting all those emotions into a creative something.
“We’re all human here and it doesn’t matter. It’s like sadness doesn’t discriminate, grief does not discriminate, pain does not discriminate – everybody is subjected to it in their own ways.”
