After months of speculation and paparazzi snaps, pop star Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have confirmed their relationship. The two made their first public appearance together in Paris this weekend. The couple were photographed outside the legendary Crazy Horse club, where Perry celebrated her 41st birthday.
When the first rumors about a possible romance between the two surfaced, many were surprised. Few expected a romance between Perry and Trudeau. Just a few weeks before the speculation began, the singer had announced her split from Hollywood star Orlando Bloom.
“Due to the significant public interest and discussion surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have refocused their relationship in recent months to focus on co-parenting,” a statement released in early July, which was shared with US magazine “People,” among others. The two have a daughter, Daisy Dove.
Trudeau attended Katy Perry concert
Justin Trudeau had also been single for some time at this point. In August 2023, he and his ex-wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, announced their separation after 18 years of marriage. “As always, we remain a close family who deeply loves and respects each other and everything we have built,” they stated on Instagram at the time. They have three children together.
At the end of July, the first rumors about Perry and Trudeau surfaced. The two were spotted together at a dinner in Montreal, Canada, as reported by TMZ and People. Before their dinner, they were photographed taking a walk in a park.
Kissing on the yacht
The rumors didn’t stop Trudeau from attending Perry’s concert in Montreal shortly thereafter. The politician watched the pop singer’s show from a prime seat, further fueling speculation about a possible romance. The site “Pop Crave,” among others, published photos of Trudeau in the audience on its X-account.
Meanwhile, a source told People magazine in early August that the romance between Perry and Trudeau was still in its “early stages.” Trudeau, who served as Canada’s prime minister until March 2025, is used to keeping his private life private and wouldn’t dare display it publicly at this point, the insider said. “He knows they’re being watched and is wise enough to hold back for now.”

Another source claimed that “they are interested in each other” but are taking things slowly. “She’s traveling the world, and he’s figuring out what to do with his life now that he’s no longer Prime Minister of Canada, but there’s an attraction between them.”
For a while, things quieted down between Perry and Trudeau. But in mid-October, photos surfaced that already indicated that things might be getting more serious between the two. Blurry pictures from the singer’s yacht purported to show the new couple smooching. The photos were apparently taken in late September off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, by a tourist on a passing boat.
Now Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are apparently tired of playing hide-and-seek: In the pictures and videos taken Saturday evening in front of the “Crazy Horse,” they can be seen walking out of the theater, completely relaxed, hand in hand, and visibly in a good mood.
