Charlie Puth's Dating History: Ex-Girlfriends, Relationships

He just wants attention from a significant other! Charlie Puth has been spotted hanging out with a bunch of famous ladies throughout his time in the spotlight. In fact, he’s even reportedly written tons of songs about them!

Although he didn’t divulge any names, the New Jersey native told TikTok followers in March 2022 that his single “That’s Hilarious” was inspired by 2019, which he noted was “the f–king worst year of my life.”

“I’m really excited for the song to come out, but every time I hear it, I’m kind of brought back to a time that was really, really challenging in my life,” Charlie said in the TikTok video, appearing to hold back tears. “It just rears its ugly head every time that I hear it.”

He went on to explain that the track was, in part, about heartbreak.

“I never told people what happened to me and the pain that I went through going through the worst breakup of my life in 2019,” the singer said. “I just wanted to throw it under the carpet and start over and surround myself with better people. But this is the hardest song that I ever had to put together, and I’m so excited for you to hear it.”

Fans have speculated that the song may be about his romance with fellow musician Charlotte Lawrence, whom he was linked to in 2019. However, Charlie has not confirmed the song’s subject, but in September 2019 he did share that he was single with a Twitter post.

“Only because I want ppl to stop asking the question …. Yes I am single now … and please don’t believe everything you read … thank you,” Charlie shared.

Charlotte, for her part, spoke about working with Charlie during an interview with Entertainment Tonight in November 2019, but didn’t confirm or deny the relationship rumors.

“I don’t read [headlines], I don’t look myself up. I don’t look at tagged pictures,” the songstress said at the time. “I think that can be negative, because a lot of things are true, and a lot of things aren’t true. It all gets picked up. I would rather put myself out of it and live my life without having somebody else try to speak for it.”

Of course, Charlotte isn’t the only star that Charlie has been linked to over the years. Scroll through our gallery for a breakdown of his love life and rumored romances.

Selena Gomez

After Charlie and Selena collaborated on the song “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” there were rumors about whether they were more than friends. Years later, Charlie seemingly confirmed that they had a brief fling in 2016.

“I don’t kiss and tell, but the only way a song like that can come across as real is if there’s something else going on behind the scenes,” he shared during an interview with Billboard from February 2018. “And that’s what was happening [with Gomez]. Very short-lived, very small, but very impactful. And it really messed me up. … And she evoked such good emotion on that song, it was a pleasure working with her. That’s why I’m always happy to sing it, even though it came from a dark point in my life.”

Bella Thorne

Talk about drama! Things got a tad messy between Bella and Charlie in late 2016. At the time, photos surfaced of what appeared to be Bella and Charlie kissing amid her relationship with Tyler Posey, but according to the former Disney Channel star, there was never anything romantic going on. “Ty and I have been broken up for like over two weeks and Charlie and I ARENT DATING we are friends,” she wrote on Twitter at the time.

“Everything just got way blown out of proportion. [Charlie and I] weren’t even kissing in that photo,” Bella later explained on The Jenny McCarthy Show. “That photo makes it look like we’re about to kiss and we’re straight-up not about to kiss.”
