Shocking Splits and Unexpected New Romances: Perry's 2025 Personal Life
While her professional life is soaring, Katy Perry’s personal life underwent significant, high-profile changes in 2025, capturing global media attention and sparking a flurry of online discussion.
The End of the Orlando Bloom Engagement
After years together and welcoming their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, in 2020, Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom ended their engagement in June 2025. The couple, known for their supportive and often humorous public dynamic, decided to part ways, though sources indicate a commitment to co-parenting their daughter.
The Controversial New Romance with Justin Trudeau
The biggest headline of late 2025 is Perry's new relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The pair's connection reportedly began to grow after the end of her engagement, with Perry confirming she was dating someone new during a concert in Prague.
The relationship has been highly scrutinized, especially after Trudeau's Halloween costume appeared to reference Perry's famous "Left Shark" from her 2015 Super Bowl halftime show, and the couple made their relationship "Instagram official" in December 2025.
Russell Brand's Public Disapproval
The news of Perry’s new partner drew a public reaction from her ex-husband, comedian Russell Brand. Reports from December 2025 indicate that Brand does not approve of Perry's relationship with Trudeau, adding a layer of public drama to the already sensational story.

Stepping Away from American Idol
After seven seasons, Katy Perry officially departed from her role as a judge on the rebooted American Idol. Her final season was Season 22, and the decision was made to allow her to focus entirely on her new album and "The Lifetimes Tour."
Her departure opened a seat on the panel, which was reportedly filled by another Idol legend, Carrie Underwood, for the show's subsequent season, Season 25. Perry’s tenure on the show was marked by emotional auditions and her signature colorful, playful outfits.
The Business Empire: From Aperitifs to Investments
Perry has strategically diversified her wealth through several successful business ventures and partnerships. She is the co-founder of De Soi, a popular line of non-alcoholic aperitifs, inspired by her desire for a sophisticated, sober option.
Her investment portfolio also includes a stake in companies like Apeel Sciences, a technology company focused on developing solutions to prevent food spoilage, showcasing a commitment to sustainability and innovation. In 2023, she also formed a creative partnership with Litmus Music. These moves highlight her transition from solely a pop star to a formidable entrepreneur, ensuring her relevance and wealth continue to grow outside of the music charts.
