Katy Perry
Pop star Katy Perry recently made headlines when a picture of her cozy moment with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went viral. Amid months of speculation about a possible romance, the two were photographed sharing a heartfelt kiss on a yacht near Santa Barbara, California.
While the status of Katy's current relationship is not clear, the pop star has had quite the love life in her 2000s. Her relationships with famous names not only inspired her own music but also that of others (read: John Mayer).
Johnny Lewis
The pair dated in 2006, and their relationship lasted for 18 months. It was before Katy Perry's career took off and remained largely unreported.
Travie McCoy
The pop star dated Gym Class Heroes' lead singer, Travie McCoy between 2008 and 2009. Reportedly, she broke up with him over email in less than a year. In 2012, McCoy revealed that his drug use likely contributed to the breakup and that Perry's email "destroyed" him.
Josh Groban
She had a brief fling with musician Josh Groban. While they broke up and remained friends, Perry later wrote a song about him titled "The One That Got Away."
Russell Brand
Perry met her first husband, comedian Russell Brand, in 2009. They married in 2010 but divorced just over a year later. After their split, Perry told Vogue, "At first when I met him, he wanted an equal... but then he couldn't handle it. He didn't like me being the boss on tour. It was very controlling. Let's just say I haven't heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me on December 31, 2011."
Robert Ackroyd
Reports of their relationship surfaced in 2012 when they were seen holding hands at Coachella. However, little information is available on why they broke up.
John Mayer
From 2012-2015, Perry and Mayer had an on-and-off relationship. Mayer had reportedly pursued Perry since 2010. In a 2017 New York Times interview, he admitted that his song "Still Feel Like Your Man" was about Perry.
Diplo
In 2014, during her on-and-off phase with Mayer, she was linked with Diplo. When Perry ranked him as her third-best celebrity lover (after Mayer and Orlando Bloom) on The Late Late Show, Diplo cheekily tweeted, "I don't even remember having sex."
Orlando Bloom
Their romance began at the 2016 Golden Globes, where they were seen flirting. Though they split in February 2017, they reunited in 2018 and got engaged on Valentine's Day 2019. In August 2020, they welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove.
The duo's last public appearance was at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March 2025, after which rumors of their breakup began circulating. On July 3, the couple confirmed they had been "shifting their relationship over the past months to focus on co-parenting."
Justin Trudeau
In July 2025, reports emerged that Perry and Trudeau went on a dinner date. Their recent cosy moment on a yacht added fuel to the ongoing rumors.
A witness told The Daily Mail, "She pulled up her boat next to a small whale-watching boat, then they started making out. I realized it was Justin Trudeau when I saw his tattoo." However, after the incident, Justin was seen reuniting with his ex-wife Sophie Grégoire for Thanksgiving dinner with their son Hadrien and his mother, Margaret Trudeau.
