Katy Perry reveals the one problem she faces dating Orlando Bloom

Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry have been going steady for a while now, but while they've been going from strength-to-strength the singer has admitted she's got a big problem dating him

The singer , 31, was talking to Women's Wear Daily when she revealed the one problem that she has with dating the British actor. 

Katy said: “My boyfriend lives in Malibu, and getting used to that [drive] was like, ‘Are you kidding me? What kind of life is this?'”

While Katy lives in Los Angeles, she has to take the lengthy drive to spend time with her 39-year-old beau in Malibu.

But as she found herself driving to see Orlando, she also found herself heading back to Santa Barbara, where she grew up.

“There's no pop-over and I never really got used to Malibu 'cause it's halfway to Santa Barbara, so I'm always just going to Santa Barbara then,” Katy said.

“I get the whole 'coming to L.A. and living by the beach' thing. But it's really like, it's so far, nobody [who lives in town] is going to come see you.”

Katy, who have been dating since the Golden Globe Awards in January, revealed that Orlando was surprised when she told him about living in “the poorest part of Santa Barbara”.

“Actually my boyfriend didn't even believe me and I was like, ‘I'm going to drive you by my house' and you can Google Earth it,” she said.

Meanwhile, Katy is back in the studio after almost a three-year break from music and although her relationship with Orlando Bloom, 39, is flourishing, the star admitted she has trouble writing "super sexy songs".

Speaking on Elvis Duran's radio show, she explained: "You know it's funny, I think I have a really hard time writing super sexy songs. The other day I was like, 'I'm going to write a song about sex!' I did it, and I think it's really great, because I still have sex and I like to write about all my life experiences! But I think I was put on this earth to life people up and elevate people and do that through my messages, quite frankly.

"For me, it takes a bit of time to [to write] because I have to have those experiences and then write about them. Or I have to digest whatever I'm seeing or perceiving and recycle it and kind of give my perspective on it.
