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.

Golden retriever boyfriends are all over your feed, but does one exist IRL?
Image credits: Getty Images The term 'Golden Retriever Boyfriend' has a similar birthplace as many Gen Z terms- TikTok. As early as 2021, the concept was scrolled over by social media users multiple times. However, it resurged to the top when Taylor Swift entered into her much-adored and obsessed-over relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce, the ever-smiling and ever-loving beau of the world's boo. 'A golden retriever boyfriend is the human equivalent of a tail wagging, wide-eyed pup who lives to love you,' explained Tiff Baira, host of "Streethearts" and a relationship expert and matchmaker to Cosmopolitan. 'He's sweet, loyal, emotionally available, and basically imprinted on you after the third date.' Think of a Tom Holland, a Nick Jonas, a Jake Peralta or a Jim Halpert. In short, he absolutely contradicts the emotionally unavailable, uninterested and always on the lookout for someone better boyfriend. But does a Golden Retriever Boyfriend exist in real life? Understanding a GRBF Image credits: Getty Images A Golden Retriever Boyfriend values your presence and addition in his life. He pays attention to your likes and dislikes, dos and don'ts and wants and needs. He fits all the adjectives of loving, positive, energetic, loyal and uncomplicated. 'He remembers your coffee order, sends good morning texts unprompted, and genuinely enjoys helping you build IKEA furniture,' added Baira. 'He's not playing games; he's the overly nice and caring type who puts you before himself.' In the era where doom scrolling and app-based dates only get you disappointed, the GRBF comes as a breath of fresh air. As someone who is serious and interested in a relationship. As someone you'd be with after getting your heart broken by a bad boy who seemed like rose-coloured glasses until he wasn't. How to identify if you have a Golden Retriever Boyfriend? Image credits: Getty Images It seems the signs to identify if your boyfriend is a golden retriever are wagging right in front of you. You are the apple of his eyes; he will help you with small things like carrying your grocery bag without asking him to, and he will care for you even in the most basic aspects of life. He is there to be with you, by your side, holding your hand as you both create the life of your dreams. However, if you have a boyfriend who's acting completely opposite to this, then it's time to bark some orders. If you are constantly worried about his whereabouts and friends, if you have to ask him for favours and if he only texts at night, then it's time to reconsider. But hey, there ain't just black and white. There's grey too. This is someone who is a Jeremiah (if you have watched 'The Summer I Turned Pretty). He is nice to get nice. The guy who seems endlessly kind and selfless but secretly has an agenda,' explained Baira. 'If his niceness comes with strings attached, like using your connections, expecting money, or subtly manipulating you, he's not golden; he's gold-plated.' He will only be affectionate in public and go cold when you are alone. He expects gratitude and appreciation for the smallest of tasks, and while he may look like the wind beneath your wings, he wouldn't take a second to clip them if you are flying too high. Is a Golden Retriever Boyfriend the only one? Image credits: Getty Images A Golden Retriever Boyfriend can be a great partner, someone you could imagine getting old with, who you could introduce to your parents and possibly be the father of your kids (if you want to have them). However, just because he seems like the ideal guy, he doesn't have to be your cup of tea. You might not want someone to settle you down and adore you forever; you might want some fire, someone who challenges you. Social media isn't a mirror to real life; it's an escape. It could be that men are following the archetype to finally have a chance in the dating pool, and women are choosing it to make themselves feel like a person who is worthy of a GRBF. If such a boyfriend is for you, then good, but if not, find the one who is more your type. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !
