Someone thinks Katy Perry‘s pretty without any makeup on…
After her breakup with Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry’s eventful year took another positive turn when she spent some time off from her tour relaxing on a yacht with Justin Trudeau. It was a definite high point for her!
Just under three months after Taylor Swift and Justin Trudeau had dinner in Montreal and he went to her concert there, they were seen showing affection for each other on a boat near Swift’s hometown of Santa Barbara.
So, at the very least, he’s a fan.
Although neither Katy Perry nor Orlando Bloom has publicly addressed their relationship status, Perry hinted during her London concert on October 13th that she might be dating someone. When an audience member proposed at the O2 Arena, she jokingly replied that they should have asked her two days earlier, seemingly indicating she wasn’t available. (This effectively shuts down any speculation about a feud, playfully referencing her previous song ‘Swish Swish.’)
She praised the audience’s lively spirit, then playfully said, “It’s no surprise I’ve always been attracted to English men… but that’s changing now.”
It’s quite a history! Perry was married to Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012, and then was in a relationship with Orlando Bloom for almost nine years. Brand is from Essex, while Bloom is from Kent.
Perry and the Lord of the Rings actor announced in July that they had ended their engagement on good terms. Their representatives stated they had been gradually transitioning to a coparenting relationship over the past several months for their 5-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.
As a lifestyle expert, I’m hearing that despite everything, this family is committed to co-parenting with love and respect. They’ll continue to present a united front as a family for their daughter, and that child’s well-being – providing her with stability and a loving environment – remains their absolute top priority. It’s really about putting the child first, and that’s wonderful to see.
Despite recent appearances together, sources say don’t assume a romantic reconciliation is happening between them. In September, Perry publicly supported her ex’s new movie, *The Cut*. The actor, who shares a 14-year-old son, Flynn, with Miranda Kerr, also mentioned on *TODAY* that he and Perry have a “beautiful daughter” and that everyone is doing well.
When the satirical news site The Onion referenced Perry’s dinner with Trudeau by creating a fake story about Bloom having a private meal with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Perry acknowledged and appreciated the joke by responding with clapping emojis.
Aside from her April trip to space with Blue Origin, people were likely just as surprised to see Perry having dinner with a former Canadian Prime Minister in July. Luckily, the two had a lot to catch up on.
Both Perry and Trudeau are going through significant transitions: Perry is newly single after nearly ten years, and Trudeau has left office after serving in parliament since 2008. Beyond these changes, they both lead busy lives and understand the need to relax after a demanding day.
In a recent interview with TopMob News, Katy Perry shared how much she values her family and having a life separate from her career. She said it’s fulfilling to come home to her loved ones and pursue interests beyond being ‘Katy Perry’ and making music. She also expressed pride in her accomplishments and how the time she’s taken off has been incredibly grounding for her.
She revealed that one of the ways she feels most loved is through helpful actions. She genuinely enjoys taking care of others and making sure they’re happy, and finds happiness in seeing them thrive.
And when she’s with Daisy, her daughter is getting her full attention.
In 2022, Perry shared with ET Canada that she’s learned the importance of being fully present. As a mother, she strives to prioritize quality time with her children, like putting aside distractions – ‘even a million buzzing messages’ – to focus on them. She explained that she’ll happily set aside 30 minutes to simply color with her kids because she loves them.
Trudeau certainly understands how hard it can be to find time for what really matters.
The father of Xavier, 18, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrien, 11 (with his former wife, Sophie Grégoire), announced in his final speech to parliament that he’s looking forward to fully focusing on his most important job: being a dad.
Although it’s not confirmed if their divorce is finalized, they publicly announced their separation in August 2023 only after reaching a legal separation agreement. They stated that the decision to end their 18-year marriage came after many thoughtful and challenging discussions.
This summer has been a whirlwind for Perry, filled with travel, motherhood, new music, and fresh starts.
In a recent Instagram post, Katy Perry shared a story about a gift from her best friend: a framed copy of the 19th-century book, *What Katy Did Next*. Although she hadn’t read the book, Perry said the title always resonated with her, representing the importance of perseverance and continuing to pursue your dreams.
She explained that she’s decided to let things happen as they will, without trying to force or control the outcome. She’s putting her trust in her supporters, the creative process, and a sense of fate to lead her forward.
For now, her internal compass seems to be pointing due north.
As Perry looks ahead to what’s next, let’s briefly remember the relationships that have brought her to where she is today.
A video surfaced around 10 years ago showing Katy Perry energetically performing and crowd-surfing at a Relient K concert. This was back in the early 2000s, when she was dating the band’s singer, Matt Thiesen.
In a 2012 interview with Songfacts.com, Thiessen surprised the interviewer by mentioning Katy Perry, prompting the question, “Are you friends with Katy Perry?”
Thiessen mentioned he and she dated for about two years in the past, but they remain good friends. He described their current relationship as not extremely close, but affirmed she’s a wonderful person.
Perry began dating Johnny Lewis when she was just 21 years old. Lewis later became known for his role in *Sons of Anarchy*, but he was also struggling with personal issues. Tragically, Lewis died in 2012 after a violent incident – he fatally attacked his 81-year-old landlady and then died, either falling or jumping from the roof of her home.
A person who worked on the show *SOA* told TopMob News that it was well-known Johnny was going through a difficult time. However, no one anticipated such a sad outcome, and everyone is still shocked by what happened.
Many people initially thought Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy inspired Katy Perry’s 2010 song “Circle the Drain.” However, after Lewis died, a source revealed to *Us Weekly* that Perry’s relationship with the actor also influenced the song. It’s about the feeling of being unable to help someone you love when they’re determined to self-destruct, and knowing when to step back.
According to a source, he was struggling at the time, and she wasn’t able to help. Many of her songs, including ‘The One That Got Away’ and ‘Circle the Drain,’ were at least partially inspired by him and her relationship with Travis. Despite the sadness, she looks back on that period of her life fondly, remembering the good times they shared. Ultimately, she couldn’t help him and didn’t want to get involved in his struggles.
Perry and Mika met at a summer party in London in 2008, and were seen leaving together, but their connection didn’t develop into a lasting relationship.
Katy Perry’s 2008 hit, “I Kissed a Girl,” came after a year-long relationship with Travis McCoy of the band Gym Class Heroes. She had previously appeared in their music video, “Cupid’s Chokehold.” The couple broke up in December of that year, and McCoy announced the split on his blog on New Year’s Eve. He used lyrics from the Main Source song “Kickin at the Front Door” to describe their turbulent relationship – good times when they weren’t fighting, which was rare. It was a fitting description, given the theme of her song, “Hot n Cold.”
Katy Perry recently shared with a crowd at the Hotel Cafe that getting over a breakup means you have to move on, even when you don’t want to. She explained that sometimes you don’t have a choice, but she’s definitely moved past it now.
Before Katy Perry’s album *Teenage Dream* was released in 2010, a song called “Circle the Drain” became public, and many people believed it was about John Mayer. He addressed the speculation with MTV News, saying he’d heard she wrote a song referencing him or past issues. He added that he was just happy she’d created a song with meaningful content, playfully saying, “Good job.”
It seems time has helped them move past their issues. In 2012, after Perry’s divorce, McCoy told the Mirror that she had supported him during a difficult period, saying, “Life goes on.” He admitted to having some regrets about how their relationship ended, but emphasized they were no longer holding any grudges and that he would always be there for her, and she knew it.
Okay, so back in 2009, after Katy Perry had recently ended a relationship, there were rumors flying around that she was seeing Benji Madden from Good Charlotte. Apparently, they were spotted together on Valentine’s Day, and things just kind of took off from there, at least according to the gossip at the time!
She addressed the rumors in a blog post, playfully exclaiming, “Just because two somewhat famous people were sitting together doesn’t mean anything happened!”
Shortly after that, Katy Perry apparently went on a few dates with Josh Groban, according to Groban himself in a 2013 interview.
According to Tim Jones, the frontman of Truth & Salvage Co., Katy Perry previously dated James Valentine, the guitarist from Maroon 5. Jones shared in a 2010 interview with Blast Magazine that Perry also contributed to the lyrics of his band’s song “Old Piano,” which appeared on their 2010 self-titled album.
According to Jones, she was dating James Valentine, the guitarist from Maroon 5. One night while they were at his house, she fell asleep. Jones started playing the piano and composing a song. Eventually, she briefly woke up, asked what was happening, hummed a few lines, and went back to sleep.
As we all know now, this didn’t turn out well.
Russell Brand proposed to Katy Perry just a few months after they met in 2009, while they were on vacation in India. They later returned to India to get married on October 23, 2010, having a traditional Hindu ceremony in a tiger park.
By December 2011, Russell Brand had texted Katy Perry to let her know he wanted a divorce. Perry openly shared her emotional struggles during their separation in the concert film *Katy Perry: Part of Me*, and later expressed the pain she felt through the songs “Ghost” and “By the Grace of God” on her 2013 album *Prism*.
In an April 2025 podcast episode, Russell Brand described his ex-wife, Katy Perry, as exceptional and a huge star, but not strange or eccentric. He also stated that, to his knowledge, she wasn’t involved in any wrongdoing.
You know, when relationships end, it’s rarely about one big thing. It’s usually just the normal challenges people face, and honestly, I have a lot of respect for my ex-partner. I truly do.
After her divorce, Perry was seen with 22-year-old French model Baptiste Giabiconi. They spent time together in Europe in March 2012.
After her divorce, Katy Perry was seen showing interest in Florence + the Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd at the Coachella music festival in April 2012.
She told *USA Today* that summer she wasn’t interested in a relationship, describing her brief connection with Ackroyd as too casual to even be called a relationship. She explained that while she enjoys meeting and flirting with people, she wasn’t ready for anything serious.
I feel like I’ve been given a fresh start, and I’m hoping for a better future. But right now, I’m not interested in a relationship; I’m focused on healing and I’m making progress. That doesn’t mean I’ve given up on love, though.
She hadn’t given up on love! Katy Perry quickly fell for John Mayer, and they had a complicated relationship that lasted for about four years, with frequent breakups and reconciliations.
She wrote “Unconditionally” after their March 2013 breakup.
He ended things, and that really woke me up,” she shared with *Elle U.K.* “It made me realize how easily I could lose someone I loved, and I needed to address some personal issues – things I think many women struggle with. I realized I could be strong in some areas of my life, but let things slide in others. Especially in relationships, I found it hard to voice my needs and set healthy boundaries, mostly because I was afraid of losing him.
Later, in late 2013, when interviewed by *GQ* magazine, Perry confirmed they were back together and said she was enjoying a great relationship with a fantastic person, and wasn’t in any hurry to move things forward.
Perry and Robert Pattinson were once rumored to be dating. They became acquainted through a mutual friend, Kristen Stewart, after Perry split from John Mayer in March 2013, but their connection was purely platonic.
Perry told *Elle UK* that they texted Kristen, saying, ‘I know you’ve seen everything that’s been going on, but you know I would never disrespect you. That’s just not who I am.’ They added, ‘I’m only trying to be friendly with him, but it’s awkward that people are focusing on my body.’
Well, who hasn’t been linked to Jared Leto after sitting next to him?
Oh my gosh, after Katy and Mayer split *again* in 2013, I heard the *best* thing! She was at Coachella, and apparently, Jared Leto was totally trying to get her attention! Everyone was saying he was making a move, or at least desperately hoping to hang out with her. I was glued to the gossip sites, hoping they’d become a thing!
Although neither Katy Perry nor Diplo (born Thomas Wesley Pentz) publicly confirmed a romantic relationship, they were seen spending a lot of time together in 2014 following Perry’s breakup with John Mayer. Despite this, Diplo sparked controversy and upset Taylor Swift’s fans with a tweet that made a comment about her physique.
He and Swift seemingly made up a few months later at the Grammys.
Mayer just kept coming around, until they finally seemed to part ways for good in 2015.
Some people thought several songs on Katy Perry’s 2017 album, *Witness* – like the title track and “Miss You More” – sounded a bit like they were influenced by John Mayer.
Also, Mayer had recently released the song “Still Feel Like Your Man” in April, and he admitted it was about Perry, meaning old feelings clearly hadn’t faded.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom connected at an after-party for the 2016 Golden Globes and quickly began dating, with trips to places like Hawaii, Italy, and even the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
By early 2017, their intense relationship appeared to be over. Representatives for both parties described the breakup as a mutual decision to create some healthy distance—a much more positive approach than a messy, public split via text message.
According to a source at TopMob News, Katy ended the relationship. Several things happened in recent months that led to the split, but the source says both Katy and her partner still care for each other and a reconciliation isn’t out of the question once they’ve had time apart.
After reconnecting months prior, Perry announced her engagement in 2019 with a photo of her ring and the caption, “Full bloom.”
The couple had a daughter, Daisy Dove, in 2020. They announced their split in July 2025, with representatives stating they had been gradually transitioning to a coparenting relationship for several months.
