A source told The Fastmazaa : ''John and Katy have decided to give it a proper go and want to find a place in LA to share.
''But lots of people are willing them to fail. They row a bit and have quite a turbulent up-and-down relationship, despite it only being a few months old.
''Many of her friends are certain it will all end in tears.
''But that's brought them closer in a way. It's given them an 'us against the world' mentality.''
Sources say the couple - who had a brief split in October before getting back together - are smitten with each other and like to spend every moment they can together.
One said: ''They are together virtually every day.
''They hang out at John's place, cooking, watching movies and playing music.
''They take the odd trip away but generally they're trying to keep it behind closed doors.''
Katy - whose 14-month marriage to Russell Brand ended last December - has already introduced John to her parents as she knows the romance is serious.
The source added: ''Introducing John to her parents was a huge step for Katy and it proves she's 100 per cent committed.''

The actress-and-singer and the 'Boardwalk Empire' decided to end their 18-month relationship last week as their busy schedules were keeping them apart.
A source told the Fastmazaa : ''Vincent has been working a lot, so he hasn't been able to spend as much time with Ashlee, which has caused some problems. It was a mutual agreement to split, but things have been bumpy for a little while, so perhaps they might reconcile.''
Ashlee began dating Vincent last June after splitting from husband Pete Wentz, the father of her four-year-old son, Bronx Mowgli.
Vincent has previously spoken about their relationship and said how they enjoyed doing the simple things together.
He said: ''I'm a real low profile guy. So a date night for me is kind of curled up at home and watching something . . . have a nice glass of wine, a nice meal and we're all set.''
Ashlee's parents, Joe and Tina Simpson, recently announced they were splitting after 34 years together and she has been there to support both her mother and father.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's kids are desperate for them to wed

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie say their six children are pestering them to get married soon, but they are still hoping for same-sex weddings to be legalised in the US before they tie the knot.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are being pressured into marriage by their kids.
The Hollywood couple hope to set a date for their upcoming nuptials sooner rather then later because their six children Maddox, 11, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six, and four-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne are clamouring for their parents to make their relationship official and tie the knot.
Brad told Fastmazaa : ''We're getting a lot of pressure from the kids. We didn't realise how much it meant to them and then, in getting engaged, how much it also means to us.''
The lovebirds - who met on the set of 'Mr & Mrs Smith' - have previously stated they won't wed until same-sex marriage is legalised in America and 'Moneyball' actor Brad, 48, says proposing to 37-year-old Angelina in April made him believe more than ever that everyone should have the right to get married.
He added: ''Everyone should have [the right].''
Brad recently donated $100,000 to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) in support of gay marriage and is backing their efforts to campaign for marriage equality in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington State.
Asked about his pending wedding plans, he said: ''I'm still hoping we'll figure out our marriage equality in the States before then.''

Madonna is insecure about her thighs.
The 'Girl Gone Wild' singer doesn't like her upper legs and spent months working on getting them toned so she felt confident showing them off during performances on her 'MDNA Tour'.
The pop superstar's personal trainer Nicole Winhoffer said: '''We're all born with an area we're insecure about and she thinks it's her thighs so we spend a lot of time moulding and sculpting. She works very hard on it.''
Nicole, 28, has worked with Madonna, 54, for three years, and says she trains for between one and two hours every day solo as well as with her dancers and backing singers who are on tour with her.
Speaking about the workout routine she follows with the star, Nicole added to the current issue of new! magazine: ''I look to tighten the back of the arms, to cinch the waist, to flatten the lower abdominals, to work on the inner and outer definition of the thighs and to raise the butt.
''[Its all about] burning calories and achieving muscle tone.''
Nicole also admits she is impressed by Madonna's dedication and work ethic, training so hard while also working and being a full time mother to Lourdes, 16, Rocco, 12, David, seven and Mercy, six.
She said: ''She's in the gym five or six days a week as well as being a full-time mother. So if I feel a bit low I just look to her and think, 'If she can do it, I have no excuse.' ''

David Beckham wants to send sons to boarding school

David and Victoria Beckham are planning on sending their three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, to expensive boarding school Eton College when they move back to England.
David Beckham wants to send his sons to expensive boarding school Eton College.
The 37-year-old soccer star and his wife Victoria could be set to move back to his native England after announcing he is to leave his club Los Angeles Galaxy and he has been looking at enrolling his three boys, Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, 10, and Cruz, seven, at the expensive public school which was attended by British Prime Minister David Cameron and Prince William.
A source told the Fastmazaa : ''For the Beckhams, Eton would be the ultimate arrival. Beckham is talking to clubs and the natural home for him would be Tottenham, the club supported by his late grandfather Joe.''
David has reportedly become homesick for the UK after spending a lot of time in his hometown of London during the summer for the Olympics.
As well as opening talks with several English clubs, allegedly including Tottenham Hotspur and QPR, Victoria was spotted house-hunting in south west London last week, and visited an £18 million mansion in Richmond which boasts seven bedrooms, a wine cellar and a gym.
The source added: ''David has been really missing London and the UK recently. The royal wedding, the Olympics and now Christmas coming up have all made him long for the UK.
''He talks about being in London a lot and he misses his family, so it would make perfect sense for the family to all move back to Britain.''
David - who also has a 16-month-old daughter Harper with his ex-Spice Girl wife - will finish his career LA Galaxy following the Major League Soccer cup final match between his team and the Houston Dynamo on Saturday (01.12.12).
