Katy Perry’s recent split from Orlando Bloom has reportedly captured the attention of a very famous ex-boyfriend, John Mayer. According to Radar Online, the newly single singer is being closely watched by Mayer, who is reportedly preparing to re-enter her life.
An insider told the outlet that Perry has not yet recovered from her breakup with Bloom, her partner of nine years. The source claims that Mayer is now “preparing to step into the gap” during this vulnerable time for the singer. Perry and Bloom, who share a daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, born in August 2020, officially separated in early July 2025 after a period of speculation.
While representatives for both Perry and Bloom emphasized that the split was amicable, sources close to Perry say she is deeply hurt, and Mayer is ready to “step in.” “John and Katy have a good relationship these days; they even spent time together last November at Sabrina Carpenter’s concert in L.A.,” the insider claimed.
“When he heard about her and Orlando, John didn’t hesitate to reach out. He’s very charming and is currently playing the role of supportive friend, but ultimately, he wants to be with her again,” the source added. “He’s always said she’s one of the most attractive women he’s ever dated and openly admires her, so if she’s open to reconnecting or dating again, he’d be over the moon,” the insider stated.
Mayer is well-known for dating high-profile women in Hollywood, with past relationships including Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, and Jennifer Aniston. His relationship with Perry, which lasted from 2012 to 2015, was noted for its intensity and challenges. At the time, the “Roar” hitmaker joked that “relationships are kind of like riding a bull. You hang on for dear life and sometimes you get a little buck here and there, but you get back on.”
