As per TMZ, the pair was spotted at the Le Violon in Montreal today, and ever since, social media has been abuzz with their dating rumours.
While many are aware of her recent divorce from her former husband, Orlando Bloom, not many know of her past relationships. Below are the people the singer has dated before.

Back in 2005, when Perry wasn't very famous, she dated the late actor Johnny Lewis for about a year. The couple even posed together at some events, but no one was aware of their relationship status.

Travie McCoy, the frontman of Gym Class Heroes, dated for less than a year in 2007. Their relationship created a bit of a buzz as Katy apparently broke up with him over an email. "It started off with 'I love you so much I hate to do this...Someone that you are ready to spend the rest of your life with sends you a fucking email just shitting on your whole parade. It destroyed me," said McCoy.
Josh Groban
While their relationship wasn't long enough to be one for the books, it seems it did do a number on Perry's heart as she ended up writing "The One That Got Away" for Josh Groban.
When asked about being the inspiration behind the song by Andy Cohen, Groban said, "We did [date]. We were both very private, and so we realized we were better as friends. And we've been very, very good friends to this day. She's the best. But I was not expecting that.
That was a double take and a spit out my coffee when I saw that."

Perry's most famous relationship, apart from the one with Bloom and possibly Trudeau, is the one with Russell Brand.

The duo met at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and got hitched a year later. However, they quickly separated in 2011 when Russell texted her that he was divorcing her. Talking about their relationship, Perry shared how Brand was unable to handle the equality which he earlier seemed to want. "At first, when I met him, he wanted an equal, and I think a lot of times strong men do want an equal, but then they get that equal and they're like, I can't handle the equalness.
He didn't like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour. So that was really hurtful, and it was very controlling, which was upsetting. Let's just say I haven't heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me on December 31, 2011," she said to Vogue.

In a pretty iconic purple hair phase, Perry briefly dated the Florence and the Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd. As per E! News they were spotted at Coachella, where she referred to him as her beau.

Perry met Mayer at the dinner at Chateau Marmont in August 2012, and what began next was an on-again, off-again relationship, which ended in 2013. However, they got back together, even hinting at some engagement rumours, only to officially be done in 2014. Mayer confirmed to the New York Times later that his song "Still Feel Like Your Man" was for Perry. "Who else would I be thinking about? And by the way, it's a testament to the fact that I have not dated a lot of people in the last five, six years.
That was my only relationship. So it's like, give me this, people."
Diplo

This one created a bit of a controversy and shock. Perry and Diplo were linked together in 2014, when they showed up at Coachella together. However, when Perry ranked Diplo third on her list of ex-lovers with Mayer and Bloom being first and second, the DJ took to X to tweet, "I don't even remember having s**."
Orlando Bloom

The Golden Globes proved to be very golden for Perry, who met her former husband there.
They dated for a year from 2016 to 2017. However, they were back together a year later, even visiting the late Pope Francis together. In 2019, they got engaged and welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove in 2020. They were married for five years and resided in their Montecito mansion together, only to part ways in 2025.
While not much is known about the reasons for their divorce, a source who spoke to Daily Mail revealed that Bloom wasn't all up about Perry's trip to space, which also ended up receiving much backlash online.
Now it remains to be seen if Trudeau will be another relationship in Perry's life or just a friendly companion.

Josh Allen ditches Tom Brady's mindset as he embraces Hailee Steinfeld and a family-first lifestyle
Josh Allen makes bold confession about love, football, and his future with Hailee (Getty Images) When the NFL season returns, the spotlight will inevitably land on Josh Allen. But this time, the Buffalo Bills quarterback isn't interested in being the next Tom Brady—or being trapped by the same win-at-all-costs narrative. As expectations mount for a Bills team still searching for its first Super Bowl, Allen is rewriting what success looks like—and it starts with finding happiness off the field. Josh Allen breaks free from the Brady Blueprint: Wants to chase joy over just rings I n a revealing conversation with CBS Sports, Allen opened up about how his personal and professional outlook has evolved. Surprisingly, it wasn't a football legend who sparked this change—it was golf's world number one, Scottie Scheffler. "Scottie Scheffler had that really good interview before The Open that spoke a lot to me, and I really appreciate him sharing those words," Allen shared. Scheffler's perspective—that life outside the game matters more than the trophies—hit home for Allen, who admitted he's often wrestled with the emotional rollercoaster of professional sports. Josh Allen opens up about coming up short of Super Bowl, talks winning MVP and upcoming season "It's maddening," Allen said of the effort-versus-results paradox in the NFL. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo "But at the same time, it helps put things in perspective about what matters in your life, and you figure out what that is fairly quickly." That clarity has helped Allen detach from fleeting accolades. Whether it's an MVP award or a historic playoff run, he's learned not to measure self-worth by what's handed out on stage. "It's kind of crazy where you're coming out here and doing everything you can for a quick enjoyment of it, and then you're on to the next," he explained. "It's like the MVP award. I don't look back and think about that night... I'm so moved on to trying to help this team win football games this year." Josh Allen will be focusing on creating a legacy that values people over pressure Allen's evolved philosophy is already resonating in the Bills' locker room. Rather than focusing solely on the elusive Super Bowl title, he's fostering a culture centered around camaraderie and commitment. "For sure, and going out there and playing free, and the main thing we always preach here is playing for each other and putting your best stuff out there," Allen emphasized. His mindset doesn't mean the fire to win is gone—it means the journey matters just as much as the destination. Allen understands that the true victory lies in building relationships, lifting teammates, and enjoying every step, regardless of the scoreboard. And maybe, just maybe, that's how lasting legacies are really made.

Jayden Daniels does not care much about what people say, he is still a 'Momma's boy': 'She's a mom first"
Jayden Daniels opens up on how his mom shapes his success (Getty Images) For most young men stepping into the NFL spotlight, image is everything. But for Jayden Daniels, authenticity means more than optics. Over the past year, he's faced a wave of online criticism — not for his performance, but for always having his mom, Regina Jackson, by his side. While some call it overprotective, Daniels sees something else entirely: unconditional love. And rather than distance himself, he's standing tall beside her — not just as her son, but as a grown man who knows the value of her presence. Jayden Daniels isn't fazed by criticism over his mom's presence While social media trolls continue to poke fun at Regina Jackson's ever-present role in Daniels' life — including viral moments like her third-wheeling on a dinner date or the now-famous Juju Watkins 'vibe-killer' episode — Daniels doesn't see her involvement as intrusive. He sees it as essential. 'She's a mom first. She's always going to be there to uplift me. But if I'm doing wrong, she's going to let me know. So, even though I'm 24 years old, I'm still a grown man, but I still gotta listen to my mom at some point,' Daniels said in an interview with the NFL Network. Rather than resenting her vigilance, Daniels appreciates it. Regina knows the risks that come with being a rising NFL star — from unwanted attention to possible exploitation — and she's not about to sit back and watch her son be vulnerable. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NRIs Living In Croatia Are Eligible For INR 2 Lakh Monthly Pension. Invest 18K/Month Get Offer Undo The criticism labeling her as a 'helicopter parent' only underscores the double standards placed on protective mothers in the public eye. And while internet comedians have their laughs, Daniels continues to grow both as a player and a person, rooted in the firm guidance of his mother. A mother's watchful eye isn't holding him back — it's helping him soar Regina Jackson wasn't just present during the interview — she was beaming nearby, proud of the man her son has become. 'I'm very proud of him. The athlete, and the man you guys see… You always need your mommas around,' she said, capturing what many often forget — family is often the cornerstone of greatness. Jayden Daniel's Mom Explains To Ryan Clark Why She's So Protective Of Her Son Research supports the value of this kind of parent-child bond. Sons raised with emotional support from their mothers often exhibit stronger decision-making, healthier relationships, and better mental health. Daniels is a living testament to that. Calm under pressure, focused, and respectful, he's proving that emotional security isn't a liability — it's a competitive edge. In a world quick to judge, Daniels reminds us that sometimes, strength comes from knowing who you can always count on — even if it's your mom sitting beside you during dinner.
