Katy Perry shares her reaction to ex Josh Groban getting engaged.

Key Points

• The singer shared a video of herself pretending to sob and drink after reading about his engagement to Natalie McQueen.

• The TikTok was set to her song, "The One That Got Away," which is supposedly about her 2009 relationship with Groban.

Sometimes it's hard to find the right song for your specific heartbreak. Lucky forKaty Perry,she has her own discography to choose from.

The "Firework" singer is sharing her candid — if unserious — reaction to learning that her exJosh Grobanjust got engaged. And what better song to mark the occasion other than the hit track that she supposedly wrote about him?

On Monday, Perry shared aTikTokvideo that begins with a news story about Groban'srecent engagement to actress Natalie McQueen. The Grammy winner then wanders into frame wearing a white robe and pretending to cry. She pours herself an absurdly tall glass of something orange, raises a toast, and then drinks it while mock-sobbing.

All the while, her 2010 hit "The One That Got Away" is blasting in the background.

Perry captioned the video, "Congrats."

The joking video comes just a few weeks after Groban and McQueen announced their engagement, which became official when the "You Raise Me Up" singer got down on one knee at Disneyland.

"MY BEST FRIEND SAID YES!!!," he captioned their April 21 announcement. "Sharing this life with you is my happiest place."

Perry and Groban were romantically linked way back in 2009 and, a year later, "The One That Got Away" hit the airwaves. At the time, there was some speculation about who the song referred to, which resurfaced in 2017 when Perry ranked her exes as part of a weekend-long livestream. While talking about Groban, she referred to him as "the one that got away."

The following year, Groban was pressed about the song during a visit toWatch What Happens Live."I was not expecting that,”he admittedto hostAndy Cohen, of learning that the song was written about him. "That was a double take and a spit of my coffee when I saw that."

He added, "It’s very sweet of her to say that. I’m very flattered by it. But I was very surprised by it too."

He also explained that he initially didn't believe the song could be about him because of certain lyrics, explaining, "I never owned a Mustang. I don’t have a tattoo. Are you sure that’s about me?"

As for his relationship with Perry, he concluded by saying that the former couple remain on very good terms after their split. "We were both very private and we realized we were better as friends," he said at the time. "And we’ve been very, very good friends to this day. She’s the best."

Despite her fake tears in the video, Perry's relationship with Groban is basically ancient history. She was married to Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012 and was in a long-term relationship with Orlando Bloom from 2016 to 2025. The "Teenage Dream" singer has most recently been romantically linked to former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The pop star and politician were first spotted together in Montréal last July. Months later, they werephotographed kissingon a yacht in Santa Barbara, Calif. By the end of the year, they wereready to make their relationshipInstagram official and have since shared several sweet snaps together.

(Corrects figure in May 6 story to A$1.1 billion from A$1.1 million in paragraph 6)

MELBOURNE, May 6 (Reuters) - A sacred waterhole used for thousands of years ‌by Aboriginal people in Western Australia has run dry for the first time in ‌living memory, with the Robe River Kuruma Traditional Owners blaming years of unsustainable water pumping by Rio Tinto.

Robe River ​Kuruma, on whose land Rio Tinto operates an iron ore joint venture of the same name, were attending Rio Tinto's annual general meeting in Perth on Wednesday.

Robe River Kuruma representative, Jason Masters, said that Rio Tinto's over-extraction of water had caused irreparable damage to his traditional lands in the ‌West Pilbara region, and asked ⁠Rio Tinto to curtail its water use.

"This is a place where my grandmother was born, a sacred permanent water pool that held water through every ⁠drought our old people can remember, now dry for the first time in living memory," he said.

"Even after heavy rainfall from cyclone Narelle, it remains dry today, he said, adding that old river ​gum ​trees fringing a nearby water system have died.

NEW PLANT ​TO HELP REDUCE WATER USE

Rio Tinto ‌and the state government are building an A$1.1 billion ($796 million) desalination plant due to start operating later this year and eventually supply eight gigalitres of water annually, as part of plans to reduce water use.

"We are doing everything we can to try to get water back into the system, and that is well underway," said Rio Tinto chairman Dominic Barton at the ‌AGM.

"In terms of the irreversible impact and damage, we ​are very keen to discuss with you what we ​can do to help to deal with ​that."

In March, Rio Tinto said that the region had, over the past ‌five years, frequently experienced annual rainfall and ​streamflow that were below ​the long-term average.

"This has reduced important groundwater recharge at the Millstream and Bungaroo aquifers, which supply the West Pilbara Water Supply Scheme," it said.

Rio Tinto in 2020 destroyed a ​rock shelter sacred to Australia's ‌Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura people, which caused a broad public uproar and ​ultimately led to the departure of the CEO, chair and other executives.

Gracen and Kevin Geagan share four "relationship non-negotiables," including nightly prayer and not drinking alcohol without each other

NEED TO KNOW

• The couple's boundaries sparked debate online, but they emphasize that these choices create clarity and strengthen their relationship

• Their story has inspired others, especially those in age-gap relationships, to adopt more intentional relationship practices

When Gracen and Kevin Geagan sat down to film a video detailing their "relationship non-negotiables" in late April, they had no idea it would garner such a passionate response online.

The couple, who have a 34-year age gap, started the video by explaining that they "pray together every single night."

"Most of the time, Kevin leads the prayer, but every now and again, I'll take control," Gracen, 26, said in the video, before Kevin, 60, jokingly chimed in, "God knows I need praying over every now and then."

The automobile dealer explained that, "regardless of your faith," taking intentional time to express gratitude, thanks, and well wishes for others not only centers their relationship but also themselves as individuals.

However, it was the couple's second non-negotiable related to drinking alcohol that caused the most stir.

"We don't drink alcohol without each other," Gracen explained. "I know there're gonna be comments who find this absurd and crazy, but there's a vulnerability in drinking and being intoxicated, and that's not something I want to be without my partner present."

Kevin was quick to note that they each made the decision "individually," insisting that it was not something he implemented as a way of "controlling her."

"We didn't impose it on one another," he emphasized, noting that they "very much enjoy drinking socially, together, and with our friends, but it's not something we want to do without one another."

However, some commenters under the video, which garnered nearly 13 million views, were quick to label their marriage "strict," which Gracen tells PEOPLE couldn't be farther from the truth.

"Interestingly, we had never heard that perspective until this particular video," she says. "We've never thought of these as 'rules,' because that can carry a more negative or rigid connotation, and that's not how it feels in our relationship at all."

"To us, they're better described as boundaries — things that help keep us aligned and supportive of what's best for our relationship."

The couple, who wed in November 2025, echoed that sentimentin a follow-up videoabout the "controversial" principle, reiterating that it's "not about restriction, it's just about not putting ourselves in a place where we're vulnerable without each other."

Gracen — who owns a charcuterie business in Greenville, S.C. — emphasizes to PEOPLE that boundaries aren't about constraint, but rather give their relationship "shape."

"Without them, even something beautiful can lose its direction," she says. "For us, these choices create a sense of clarity and ease, not limitation."

While a select group of commenters criticized their boundaries around drinking, she notes that they've also received plenty of positive responses, which have "been the most meaningful part of all of this."

"We've heard from a surprisingly large number of people who are also in age-gap relationships who have reached out to say they feel more comfortable and confident after seeing our story shared openly," she shares.

"We've also received messages from people who are currently struggling in their relationships, saying they plan to incorporate some of these ideas — or wish they had earlier — which has been really impactful to hear," she adds.

Along with their habits surrounding prayer and alcohol consumption, the couple's other two non-negotiables in the original video related to handling conflict.

The couple explained that they are committed to "serving each other even in disagreements."

"It's easy to serve someone when it's 70 degrees and sunny, but when a thunderstorm rolls through, or inclement weather or you face a headwind, it becomes a little more difficult," Kevin explained in the video. "So we try to maintain our standards of behavior toward one another and kindness and courtesy, even if we are having a disagreement."

When asked what that looks like in practice, Gracen tells PEOPLE that, for them, "it comes down to remembering that even in a disagreement, this is still your closest person — your best friend — and someone who ultimately has your best interests at heart."

"In practice, that means shifting out of a mindset of trying to 'win' and instead focusing on understanding," she adds. "It can look like listening more intentionally, taking a step back when needed, or even doing something thoughtful for the other person in the middle of a disagreement."

"It keeps things grounded in the idea that you're on the same team, working through something together rather than against each other."

Their final non-negotiable is that they "don't keep score," or keep a list — mental or physical — of "all the ways they've been slighted."

Kevin explained that one of the best pieces of advice he got from his father was that in marriage, a lot of people focus on making it 50/50, when, in reality, everyone should "give their all" — a "full 100% each."

While the couple knows every relationship looks different, Gracen tells PEOPLE that, in the end, she hopes they inspire people to focus on "having better, more intentional relationships."

"Bottom line, I think people hear 'rules' and they think 'control,' but we hear 'clarity' and we think 'alignment,' " Kevin added in their follow-up TikTok.

"It's not for everybody, but it works for us. So you do you, and we'll do us," Gracen ended.

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Bulgaria’s parliament on Friday formally approved Rumen Radev as the new prime minister in a bid to end political instability and spur economic development in the EU member country.

“We have no illusions about the crises and trials facing the government, which will soon be seeking your support – galloping prices, budget, missing reforms, a severe global energy crisis and escalating conflicts,” Radev told lawmakers.

The chamber voted 124-70 with 36 abstentions to elect Radev, a 62-year-old former president, as prime minister.

Radev resigned from the mostly ceremonial presidency in January, a few months before the end of his second term, to launch a bid to lead the government in the more powerful role as prime minister. Bulgaria’s previous conservative government collapsed in December after nationwide anti-corruption protests drew hundreds of thousands of mainly young people to the streets.

Radev’s popularity surged as he cast himself as an opponent of the entrenched mafia and their ties to high-ranking politicians. At campaign rallies he vowed to “remove the corrupt, oligarchic model of governance from political power.”

His Progressive Bulgaria party scored a landslide victory in the April 19 parliamentary election, giving it a comfortable majority, with 131 seats in the 240-seat legislature.

Radev, a former fighter pilot, earned a Master of Strategic Studies degree from the U.S. Air War College in 2003, before being appointed Bulgarian air force commander. His supporters are divided between those hoping he will put an end to the country’s oligarchic corruption and those lining up behind his euroskeptic and Russia-friendly views.

Although Radev’s pro-Russian stance has raised concerns about Bulgaria’s position in European policymaking, some political analysts expect his future approach to remain moderate, unlike that of former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, not least because Bulgaria remains deeply reliant on European funds.

“He will more likely seek to dilute Sofia’s support for Kyiv, for which Bulgaria is a key supplier of ammunition, and push for the resumption of Russian oil and gas imports, prioritizing lower-cost energy supplies,” Florence Thiéry, an analyst at the Credendo insurance group, said in written comments.

“Despite these positions,” she added, “Bulgaria’s full accession to the Schengen Area and its recent adoption of the euro are expected to support continuity in foreign policy, making a reversal of its Euro-Atlantic stance unlikely.”
