Who Has Katy Perry Dated in the Past? All You Need to Know About Her Relationship History

As I delve into the captivating tapestry of Katy Perry‘s romantic adventures, it strikes me that her love life is as dynamic and colorful as one of her vibrant stage performances. From fleeting flings to passionate partnerships, each relationship seems to have left an indelible mark on her life and music.


Katy Perry, with her commanding vocals and daring fashion sense, has left an indelible mark on the world of pop music.

From a quirky girl hailing from California, Perry transformed into a worldwide superstar whose career consistently challenges the limits of both music and visual presentation.

Through popular hits like “I Kissed a Girl,” “Roar,” and “Firework,” she has carved out a space for herself as an inspiring figure and fearless artist unafraid to express her opinions openly.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that her personal relationships, including dating multiple musicians, hold equal importance in her narrative as her music. Later, she became engaged to the actor, Orlando Bloom.

Let’s delve into her previous romantic entanglements and identify those who have won a place on her heart, as she has put it herself, “Each time I find myself smitten, it’s not frequent, but when it happens, it’s deep.”

Justin York

Prior to becoming a renowned pop star, Katy Perry had a short yet impactful relationship with Justin York, who is the elder sibling of Taylor York from the band Paramore. It was during her teenage years, specifically when she was 17, that Katy first met Justin through mutual acquaintances at school.

From 2002 to 2003, that relationship of theirs played a significant role in Perry’s life story. It represented her first, impactful taste of love, setting the stage for her life before her career really took flight. Although it didn’t last long, that relationship served as the starting point for both her personal and professional journey.

Matt Thiessen

2003 marked the beginning of Katy Perry dating Matt Thiessen, the lead guitarist from Christian rock band Relient K. Their shared passion for music fostered an exceptionally close bond between them, and on stage during performances, it was said that they often displayed public displays of affection.

From the year 2003 to 2005, their romantic relationship flourished and played a significant role in shaping the singer’s early years. In terms of their love life, it eventually concluded, yet the music taste they developed together became an enduring characteristic of their time spent together.

Johnny Lewis

Between 2005 and 2006, it was Johnny Lewis, an actor from Sons of Anarchy, who dated a then lesser-known Katy Perry. This intense relationship is often discussed as one of the more intriguing chapters in her life prior to achieving superstardom.

Later on, she drew inspiration from this event for her popular songs “Circle the Drain” and “The One That Got Away.” Their relationship came to an end as they were both heavily invested in their flourishing careers. It’s been reported that Katy was deeply affected when Lewis passed away unexpectedly in 2012, following a fall from a rooftop after an altercation with his elderly landlord.

Mika

In September 2008, Katy Perry entered into a short-lived relationship with the British-Lebanese pop artist Mika. Their paths crossed when Perry collaborated on Mika’s 2009 song “I See You,” and it was their energetic personalities that sparked the romance.

In other words, although their similar tastes in chemistry-based pop music and penchant for extravagance seemed promising, this connection could not sustain itself beyond a few months; they eventually parted ways the same year.

Travie McCoy

2006 saw the pop sensation who sings “Teenage Dream” starting a romantic relationship with Travie McCoy, the main vocalist from Gym Class Heroes. Their bond strengthened when she featured in their music video for “Cupid’s Chokehold.”

In the midst of her career soaring with hits like “I Kissed a Girl,” her relationship with McCoy faced hurdles. It’s been reported that their split in 2008 was due to McCoy’s battles with substance abuse and insecurities about his position in her life.

A brief romance with James Valentine and Benji Madden in the same year

In the year 2009, I was momentarily romantically linked with James Valentine, a talented guitarist from the renowned band Maroon 5. The media caught wind of our relationship when we were seen together in the vibrant city of Los Angeles. However, much to my disappointment, our bond didn’t last beyond a few weeks.

In the same year, she also had a short fling with Benji Madden from Good Charlotte, the rock band. Their romance blossomed in February of that year and they quickly established a bond under the glare of the spotlight following the Grammy Awards’ after-parties. However, despite the media buzz surrounding their relationship, it lasted only for a few months.

Josh Groban

2009’s initial phase saw whispers of a potential relationship between Katy Perry and Josh Groban, yet their representatives swiftly dismissed such speculation. Later on, Groban confirmed that their bond was simply a friendly one.

It’s said that Perry refers to Groban as “the one who slipped away,” indicating a strong bond of friendship that never developed into a romantic relationship that could have led to an album collaboration. The two first met through mutual acquaintances and maintained a close friendship, but their connection remained strictly platonic.

Russell Brand

In the autumn of 2009, The Dark Horse musician and comedian Russell Brand crossed paths while collaborating on Get Him to the Greek. This encounter sparked a romantic relationship that culminated in an engagement on New Year’s Eve. Later, they tied the knot during a Hindu ceremony held in Rajasthan, India, on October 23, 2010.

But amidst that initial euphoria, their marriage did pose its problems, considering the conflicting demands of their careers, aside from the artist’s hesitation to start a family. The couple divorced in 2012, citing “irreconcilable differences,” according to Brand.

Baptiste Giabiconi

The well-known French model Baptiste Giabiconi was romantically linked with Perry in 2012, a brief fling that garnered significant media attention during Paris Fashion Week. However, their relationship fizzled out quickly, lasting merely a few months amidst the swirl of speculation.

Jared Leto

In 2014, there were whispers that Katy Perry, the Roar singer, might have had a fleeting relationship with actor-turned-singer Jared Leto. Many believed their romantic speculations started when they were seen together at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Nevertheless, while these love rumors gained traction, they never got officially confirmed and fizzled out peacefully.

Riff Raff

Apart from Perry, she briefly dated Houston rapper Riff Raff as well. Their relationship gained significant attention when they made a memorable appearance on the red carpet at the 2014 VMAs, mimicking Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s famous denim outfits. That moment was arguably their relationship’s peak, but it didn’t last long, lasting merely a few weeks before they drifted apart. Since then, they have maintained a certain level of distance from each other.

Robert Ackroyd

2012 saw the British guitarist of Florence + the Machine, Robert Ackroyd, dating Katy Perry, famously known as The Part of Me singer. Their romance started at Coachella, where their affectionate gestures became apparent. However, it didn’t last long, spanning just a few months. Later on, in an interview with USA Today, Perry reflected that she wasn’t ready for a serious relationship back then, regarding their brief romance in hindsight.

John Mayer

Katy Perry and John Mayer embarked on an on-again, off-again romance starting in August 2012, following their initial meeting at a charity event. Their connection was strong, igniting a two-year rollercoaster relationship filled with ups and downs. After splitting for a short while in 2013, they remained involved until ultimately parting ways in February 2014.

Proof of their scorching hot love was provided when they both collaborated on the single Who You Love. Mayer said later in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres that he wanted to leave all the specifications of their breakup private, though he did say he was happier now.

Diplo

It’s been said that Katy and DJ Diplo were spotted together at the 2014 Coachella Music Festival. However, their relationship only lasted a month. Despite keeping most of their romance hidden, they made several public appearances throughout their brief time together, hinting at their short-lived love story. Their unexpected separation in March 2015 took many by surprise.

Robert Pattinson

2012 saw persistent dating speculation surrounding the famous Swish Swish singer and Robert Pattinson due to their close friendship. However, despite frequent sightings of them together in various public spots, neither Perry nor Pattinson confirmed that they were romantically involved, maintaining only a friendly relationship.

Although they never publicly acknowledged being romantically involved, there were persistent rumors suggesting a deep connection between them. Over time, this seemingly romantic bond evolved into a strong friendship that endured for nearly a decade.

Orlando Bloom

Back in 2013, I, a diehard fan, was thrilled when the captivating singer of The Rise and the dashing Orlando Bloom were rumored to have crossed paths for the first time. However, it wasn’t until the star-studded CAA Golden Globes after-party at Sunset Tower in January 2016 that their paths crossed again. From that night onwards, I watched with bated breath as they spent quality time together until they decided to part ways in February 2017.

Instead of redecorating, they refreshed their relationship in March 2018. On Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2019, they declared their intention to marry by posting identical messages on Instagram. Since then, their love tale has continued to flourish.

As of now, Perry and Bloom are together and seem happy, continuing to share their lives and love.
