Katy Perry<\/a><\/strong> had a humorous response to news that her ex-boyfriend Josh Groban<\/strong> is officially engaged <\/strong>to musical theatre star Natalie McQueen. Shortly after Groban\u2019s engagement made headlines, Perry shared a playful video of herself mock-crying while listening to her own hit song \u201cThe One That Got Away.\u201d She had once revealed that the track was inspired by the singer.<\/p>\n The lighthearted clip quickly caught fans\u2019 attention online, especially because Katy Perry and Josh Groban\u2019s brief romance has remained a longtime pop culture talking point. Perry and Groban dated briefly in 2009 before eventually deciding they were better off as friends. Years later, during a weekend-long livestream promoting her 2017 album \u201cWitness\u201d, Perry surprised fans by revealing that Groban was actually \u201cthe one that got away.\u201d<\/p>\n The confession quickly brought renewed attention to Perry and Groban\u2019s past relationship, especially because Perry had never publicly linked him to the emotional song before. Groban later said the revelation surprised him. While appearing on Watch What Happens Live in 2018, Groban recalled discovering Perry had linked him to the song. \u201cI was not expecting that,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was a double-take and a spit of my coffee when I saw that,\u201d Groban added that he felt flattered by the comment, but also genuinely confused because the lyrics did not resemble him at all. \u201cI listened to the lyrics of the song,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd I\u2019m like, \u2018I never owned a Mustang. I don\u2019t have a tattoo. Are you sure that\u2019s about me?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Groban spoke warmly about their relationship and said the two remained close friends long after their breakup. \u201cWe\u2019ve been very, very good friends to this day. She\u2019s the best.\u201d Groban previously explained that their split happened because both of them preferred keeping their private lives out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Khushali Srivastava on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Katy Perry Has Humorous Reaction to Ex Josh Groban\u2019s Engagement News<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Katy Perry had a humorous response to news that her ex-boyfriend Josh Groban is officially engaged to musical theatre star Natalie McQueen.
