Okay, so today I decided to dig into this whole Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson thing. Were they ever actually a thing, or just really good friends? I needed to know!
My Deep Dive Process
First, I hit up Google. You know, the usual – typing in “Katy Perry Robert Pattinson dating” and seeing what popped up. I scrolled through a bunch of articles, some old, some newer, trying to piece together a timeline.

Then, I went down the rabbit hole of fan forums. Let me tell you, people have opinions on this! I spent a good hour just reading different theories and supposed “evidence” of them being together.
- I checked out some gossip sites.
- I looked for photos on different websites.
I tried to find interviews where they talked about each other. I found some, and it sounds pretty much the same. They are friends.
After all that, I feel like I’ve got a pretty good handle on the situation. It seems like they’ve been super close friends for years, always supporting each other, but there’s never been solid proof of a romantic relationship. Maybe they’re just really, really good at keeping secrets, or maybe they genuinely are just best buds. Either way, I’m calling it: mostly friends, maybe a tiny bit of “what if?” but probably just friends.
