Pop sensation Katy Perry and an acclaimed singer-songwriter John Mayer once again create headlines, but this time it’s for a friendly reunion. The on-again-off-again couple dated between 2012 and 2015 before finally breaking up. This time, she was reportedly seen catching up with him in a very casual setting-proving that exes can be just friends.
A low-key meeting reportedly occurred during a gathering of a mutual friend over the weekend in Los Angeles. According to sources close to the two artists, both were relaxed and friendly during the interaction. “Katy and John seemed genuinely happy to see one another,” a source reported. “They shared laughs and spoke like old friends.
This reconnection happens years after their high-profile relationship captivated both fans and the media. Known for musical collaborations, including the romantic ballad “Who You Love,” their connection at one time seemed enormously interwoven with their artistry. Still, their breakup in 2015 signaled the end of their romantic journey, leaving fans curious about the dynamic they would now share.
Both the stars have moved on in both personal as well as professional life. Perry welcomed her first child, a daughter Daisy Dove, with fiancé Orlando Bloom back in 2020. She has taken up motherhood along with her bright music career. Mayer, on the other hand, has remained more engrossed in his solo projects and independently released album Sob Rock and his tours.
Despite the split, Perry and Mayer have never stopped speaking highly of each other in interviews. Mayer once described their relationship as “very real” while Perry acknowledged the deep connection they shared. Their recent encounter appears to reaffirm those sentiments, underscoring mutual respect and warmth.
The stars had fans since quickly reacting to the news about their reunion on social media, giving due accolades for the maturity and ability shown to stay on good terms. “It’s great to see that exes can coexist positively,” a fan on Twitter noted.
Although there is no sign of romantic rekindling, the reunion goes out as a heartening reminder of their joint past. It appears that both Perry and Mayer have been embracing a chapter of mutual admiration, thus setting a refreshing example of friendship outside of romance within Hollywood.
