Relationship with January Jones

In the early 2000s, Groban began a notable relationship with actress January Jones, best known for her role as Betty Draper in the television series Mad Men. The couple reportedly met at a public event and began dating around August 2003. For Groban, it marked his first publicly acknowledged romantic relationship, while Jones had previously been linked to several other celebrities.

Their relationship, lasting until June 2006, attracted public and media interest due to the contrast in their public images—Groban's was clean-cut, while Jones was sometimes portrayed more controversially in the press. Despite media speculation about the relationship’s longevity, the couple appeared to maintain a strong bond for nearly three years. Their representatives announced a break in 2006, and though rumors of reconciliation followed, the relationship officially ended.

Katy Perry Dating Rumors

In March 2009, Groban was briefly linked to pop singer Katy Perry. Media outlets noted their increasing appearances together and mutual admiration in public comments, which led to speculation about a romantic relationship. However, both artists later clarified that their bond was purely platonic, with Groban himself confirming in later interviews that they were just friends. At the time, Perry was reportedly involved with musician John Mayer, further diffusing the rumors.

Reported Connection with Selma Blair

In early 2010, Groban was rumored to be dating actress Selma Blair. The pair were seen together in Los Angeles, sparking speculation about a possible romance. Though photographs captured them enjoying each other’s company, neither Groban nor Blair publicly confirmed the relationship. Outlets suggested a flirtatious dynamic, but the nature of their involvement remained ambiguous. Eventually, the gossip faded as both were seen with other partners.
