Hands down one of the most recognizable faces in the world, Katy Perry is a multi-hyphenated superstar and, thereby, one of the highest-selling music artists. Perry's career, which spans over two decades, has been an influential force in the pop and disco genre. Also a songwriter and television judge, Perry has undergone a noticeable transformation throughout her career.
The Roar crooner started as a gospel musician, slowly gliding into the pop, rock, and disco genres. Born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson on October 25, 1984, she adopted the name Katy Perry to avoid being misunderstood as actress Kate Hudson. Perry got her breakthrough with her second album, One of the Boys, which includes her memorable singles like I Kissed a Girl, Hot n Cold, and Thinking of You.
Katy Perry's Relationship History!
Despite being an acclaimed star and always in the limelight, Perry hasn't devoid herself of the pleasure and pain of love. To put it more bluntly, the I Kissed a Girl singer is romantic at heart. The multi-hyphenated star has dated some very famous faces, but only one of them has been lucky enough to walk down the aisle with her and enjoy a brief marital bliss with the singer.
During her early years as an aspiring A-lister and an emerging star, Perry romanced now-late actor Johnny Lewis and singer Travie McCoy; the latter more publicly and passionately than the former. Perry starred in McCoy's Cupid's Chokehold. Lewis, who died at the age of 28 in 2012, reportedly inspired Perry's hitmaker The One That Got Away. Following her on-and-off relationship with McCoy, the California-born singer dated singer Josh Groban, although the affair never transpired into anything serious.
The Grammy-nominated crooner's first serious relationship was with English comedian and actor Russel Brand, who Perry began dating in 2009. Russel is the only man Perry has said her I do's with. The couple started dating in 2009. The duo had met at Brand's 2008 comedy film Get Him to Greek and soon began a whirlwind romance, which like most whirlwind romances, ended in a hasty and brief marriage.
Katy says she and her ex-husband Russel haven't talked since their divorce in 2011!
Perry and Russel were engaged by New Year's Eve 2009 and married on October 23, 2010, in a Hindu ceremony in Rajasthan, India. The English actor filed for divorce in December 2011. Although it initially appeared to be an amicable split like between any other celebrities, Perry later revealed she became suicidal because of her failed marriage. "Let's just say I haven't heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me on December 31, 2011," Katy said, asserting a cold separation.
Before venturing into her another famous relationship with singer John Mayer, Perry had several rumored romances, including with guitarist Robert Ackroyd and model Baptiste Giabiconi. The Thinking of You singer and Mayer, a multiple-Grammy-winning singer, dated on and off between 2012 to 2014. Although the two musical superstars were the perfect couple on paper, Perry and Mayer's conflicting schedules and lifestyle made it hard for them to continue.
Perry's perpetual dating streak went on, with reports emerging that the American Idol judge was seeing English actor Robert Pattinson. Even though the pair were spotted together numerous times, Perry later cleared that what she and Robert had was completely platonic. Perry was last linked with DJ Diplo.
Who is Katy Perry Dating?
The American Idol judge's persistent effort to find the one may have finally paid off. Perry's past dating history doesn't portray Perry as a long-term kind of girl, but in contrast to the pattern, the California-born has been in an enduring, albeit bumpy, relationship with English actor Orlando Bloom, best known for his roles in The Two Towers, The Return of the King, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
The high-profile pair started dating in early 2016 and made their relationship official in the summer. Perry and Bloom have since matched each other's energies and indulged in weird antics, including nude paddleboarding during a vacation, dressing up as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on Halloween, and more. The pair had a brief split in early 2017 before bouncing right back to their adorable self.
Perry and Bloom got engaged on Valentine's Day 2019. "You have to do the groundwork together, create a feeling of trust and safety so that you can spend time apart and do everything that you need to do, and still feel tethered to that person," Bloom said about his relationship with Perry in a rare interview. The twosome's awaited nuptial might seem like a drag, but as per the two, they want the event planned to perfection. The couple welcomed their firstborn, Daisy Dove Bloom, in August 2020.
