In Perry’s interview with Cohen, he also talked about his dating life, telling the host that he"could not be more single.”
After briefly touching on his past experience with dating apps, he said he prefers to date offline. “I am off forever,” he told Cohen. “It’s not the way to meet people, I don’t think. I’m not sure how to meet people, but that’s not the way to do it.”
As for whether or not he is looking for a partner who is also sober, Perry said, “That would be good. But it’s not a necessity.”
“You know, I wouldn’t like to be with somebody who drank so much that you couldn’t recognize them,” Perry explained. “That would not be good… But I don’t have any rules about that.”
