Katy Perry & Johnny Lewis
Katy Perry dated actor Johnny Lewis from 2005 to 2006, as per ABC News. This was before Perry became a household name, and hence, their relationship remained largely unreported. Lewis was an actor and had appeared in projects like The O.C. and Sons of Anarchy. In September 2012, he died in Los Angeles.

Perry dated Travie McCoy from 2008 to 2009. Their relationship lasted for less than a year. McCoy was the lead singer of the band Gym Class Heroes. As per People, the two split at the start of 2009. Reportedly McCoy’s drug use likely led to their breakup.

Katy Perry met English comedian-actor Russell Brand at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. The two married in 2010 and eventually divorced in late 2011, according to US Weekly. The E.T. singer spoke to Vogue about it and said: “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.”

Right after her divorce from Brand, E! reported that Perry was seen with guitarist Robert Ackroyd at the 2012 Coachella. In June 2014, the same portal reported that the duo was seen kissing backstage at London’s O2 Arena. But the two parted ways subsequently.

Perry and actor Orlando Bloom began dating in 2016 but split in 2017. The two released a statement to People to refute several rumors. The two reconciled in 2018 and got engaged in 2019, with Perry sharing their picture on Instagram.
