Charlie Puth Confirms He's Dating Childhood Friend Brooke Sansone

In an October 2022 interview with Howard Stern, Puth revealed he was in a relationship, though he didn't give away too many details, such as his girlfriend's identity. "[She's] someone that I grew up with," he said. "She's always been very, very nice to me and I would assume that when times inevitably are hard in the future, because what is life without valleys and peaks, she would be there for me as well."

On Dec. 2, Puth confirmed in an Instagram post that his secret girlfriend is Sansone. He wrote in the caption, "🎶 Ohhhhh I'm NOT a loser…'cause I didn't lose her!!! 🎶 (Happy birthday to me.)" Sansone, 23, shared the same photo in her Instagram Stories, as well as a video of Puth performing taken from backstage.

According to her LinkedIn, Sansone is a digital marketing and PR coordinator. She attended high school in Red Bank, NJ, which is right next to Rumson, where Puth is from. Her brother shared a photo of Puth and Sansone together on Instagram back in October.

While Puth said he's very much in love, he told Stern if he does propose, don't expect to read about it anywhere. "If I do, certainly the media won't know about it," he explained in October. "I'll go out of my way to make sure they don't know."

Puth was linked to singer-songwriter Charlotte Lawrence in early 2019. Rumors first circulated about the musically talented couple in February 2019, when Puth and Lawrence were spotted together several times during New York Fashion Week.

Puth confirmed their relationship in a since-deleted Valentine's Day Instagram weeks later. "Happy valentine's day," he captioned a picture with his arm around the 19-year-old singer. Lawrence responded to the post with a blushing heart emoji in the comment section.

Sadly, the happy couple didn't last. It's unclear exactly when they split up, but in September 2019, Puth tweeted, "Only because I want people to stop asking the question....Yes I am single now...and please don't believe everything you read...thank you."

Unless Puth dated someone else privately in 2019, Lawrence was likely the inspiration behind Puth's emotional breakup anthem, "That's Hilarious." In his March 23, 2022, TikTok about the song, he had this to say about the making of the song: "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," he said, adding, "It just brought me back to 2019, which was the f*cking worst year of my life."

In September 2018, Puth shared a number of pictures with 26-year-old actress Halston Sage on Instagram, which sparked rumors that the pair was more than just friends. The "Prodigal Son" star and Puth were inseparable and spotted together at multiple public events before apparently fizzling out after a few weeks. The photos the pair posted on Instagram were ultimately deleted.

Puth was linked to Danielle Campbell in October 2017. When Puth appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Oct. 12 that year, he revealed, "I'm actually not single right now. I'm in a relationship . . . [but] I'm kind of done with dating people in the public."

Puth's statement instantly sparked rumors that he was in a secret romance with "The Originals" actor, who has also dated Gregg Sulkin and Louis Tomlinson. Fans were further convinced that the pair was a secret item when Puth shared a screenshot of him FaceTiming Campbell a couple of days later. The picture was quickly deleted, hinting that Puth was trying to keep his relationship with the actress on the DL.

If the couple were an item, it's unclear when they ended things because of the private nature of the relationship.
