Before finding their current partners, Kat Dennings and Katy Perry had romantic links to Josh Groban — albeit at different times. Perry and the singer-songwriter briefly dated in 2009, only a year before she dropped her multi-platinum-selling album, “Teenage Dream.” During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” Groban opened up about his fling with the pop star and addressed Perry’s confession that he was the source of inspiration behind her hit track “The One That Got Away,” which she made during an appearance by her on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” While Groban says he didn’t expect the song to be about him, he admitted that the two realized they were better off as friends. “We were both very private. And so we realized we were better as friends,” he dished. “We’ve been very, very good friends to this day. She’s the best.”

A few years after his short-lived liaison with Perry, a source told Us Weekly that Dennings and Groban sparked up a romance after the two appeared side-by-side at the Carousel of Hope Ball. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t in the cards for this couple. While the real reason Dennings and Groban split came down to timing, we can’t help but think it all worked out for the best as they’ve both moved on to new partners. “It was a mutual breakup,” a source told E! News. “They are still friends and care about each other, but it’s not the right time for them now as a couple.”
