Katy and John sparked engagement rumours last month after she was spotted wearing a heart-shaped ruby ring.
Highlights
- Katy Perry has split from John Mayer for the third time.
- The Wide Awake singer - who broke up with him after two weeks of dating last August and again briefly in October before reconciling - has reportedly called time on her relationship with the Half of my Heart singer but friends predict it might not be permanent.
- A source close to the couple confirmed they recently broke up again and told UsMagazine.com: "It's sad. It's not over until it's over. You have to see how things play out."
- Another insider hinted that Katy might reunite with him again, saying: "She's leaving the window open. They have both been so focused on work."
- Katy - whose divorce from comedian Russell Brand after 14 months was finalised last July - was previously said to have told John to lose her number because he could not commit.
- But he appeared to change his ways and happily began attending events with the 28-year-old brunette beauty, including the Grammy Awards last month as well as at Barack Obama's second inauguration last November.
- They were also spotted on several dinner dates with Katy's parents in Los Angeles and in her native Santa Barbara, where they spent Christmas together.
- The duo sparked engagement rumours last month after John presented her with a heart-shaped ruby ring for Valentine's Day.
- John recently described their relationship as "very human" and insisted his romance with the Firework singer felt totally natural.
- He said: "I don't feel like I'm in a celebrity relationship. For the first time in my life I don't feel like I'm in a celebrity relationship. I know it is high profile. It's hard to explain ... For me it feels like something that's very human."
- The 35-year-old guitarist also admitted he had thought about marrying Katy in the future. When asked if marriage could be in the pair's future, John answered: "Of course. I mean, I'm still the kid from Connecticut. That's what you do."
