Romance lasted only a couple of months but she’s really heartbroken about it

Katy Perry is proving a little unlucky in love post-divorce. She and fellow singer (former notorious womanizer, as per his own words) John Mayer started dating about a couple of months ago but, according to a new report, are already pretty much over.

Us Weekly hints that the split might have been John's move because, apparently, Katy is quite devastated that they're no longer together.

Ever since they hooked up, she's been trying to act as if the relationship was no big thing, as if it were nothing more than a summer fling but, deep down inside, she's broken up about it.

“She's really upset about it. She is making it seem like it wasn't serious with John, but she is hurt,” an unnamed source says for the publication.

“Us Weekly first reported the budding romance, with Perry, 27, and Mayer, 34, making an 'affectionate' appearance together at Soho House in West Hollywood June 19,” Us goes on to say.

Afterwards, they were spotted together more often but, somehow, they managed to keep a low profile by refusing to attend events or go to parties as a “couple,” at least when paparazzi were around.

Inside, it was an entirely different matter.

“At a Beverly Hills pool party Aug. 4, recently divorced Perry and notorious Lothario Mayer 'were all over each other, making out,' one observer said,” Us writes.

Katy had really fallen for John, the report goes on to mention, so she was quite blindsided by his decision to split.

“A pal said earlier this month that the 'Teenage Dream' singer was ready to get serious with Mayer,” Us writes.

“'She doesn't want to get her heart broken again, but she feels a real connection and wants to see where things go' with Mayer, whose exes include Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston,” adds the publication.

Earlier this year, Katy and her husband of a little over a year Russell Brand filed for divorce.
