Inside Katy Perry's turbulent love life - heartbreak, divorce to Hollywood ending

Katy Perry 's love life has been turbulent to say the least.

The 38-year-old pop star has had her relationships in the public eye since she burst on the scene with her hit single I Kissed A Girl.

While she hasn't lived up to the title of her debut single, Katy has gone on to kiss and date some of Hollywood's elite, including actors, comedians and even a rapper.

Before she hit the big time, she was dating British actor and Sons of Anarchy star Johnny Lewis, who sadly fell from a roof to his death in 2012.

She dedicated her song The One That Got Away which details a lost relationship to him after his death left her feeling "devastated."

Katy then went on to have an on-again off-again relationship with Gym Class Heroes rapper Travie McCoy who's best known for his hit song with Bruno Mars, Billionaire.

Travie and Katy called it quits on New Years Eve in 2008 after meeting in 2005 on set for Travie's music video for Cupid's Chokehold, a song about doomed relationships.

Katy's next high profile relationship was with outspoken comedian Russell Brand.

The pair made a flamboyant duo and at their traditional Indian wedding in 2010, Russell entered the ceremony on the back of an elephant.

Unfortunately, Russell called it quits over text after just 14 months of being married. Their divorce was finalised in 2012 and Katy revealed that she hadn't spoken to him since.

She said in an interview with Vogue : "He’s a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him. Let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011.

"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," she added at the time.

Katy had another turbulent fling with singer John Mayer, splitting up and getting back together again multiple times during their relationship until they ultimately called it quits in 2015 due to their different lifestyles, with Katy always wanting to stay out partying.

Katy was then rumoured to have been talking to Twilight's Robert Pattinson, causing bad blood between Katy and Rob's girlfriend at the time, Kristen Stewart.

However in 2016, she met Orlando Bloom. The pair dated for a year before briefly splitting up in 2017. By February 2018 they were back together and the Hollywood hunk proposed on Valentine's Day.

They were forced to postpone their nuptials due to the Covid pandemic and in that time they announced the birth of their daughter Daisy Dove, who came in August 2020.

Katy gushed over her man while on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2019. Firework singer Katy said: "He is the kindest soul. He is the kindest man I’ve ever met.

"He shows up and he’s such an encouragement spiritually, emotionally and physically. I do not care to work out and he’s like, ‘Let’s go work out! Let’s go do hot yoga!’ That’s kind of our love language is all things spiritual and working out."

Meanwhile, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor told the Sunday Times in 2020 of Katy: "She’s witty and smart and intelligent. She’s charismatic, but she’s direct too, and this dynamic was intriguing to me".
