The Ex-PM & The Pop Star: Inside the Secret Katy Perry & Justin Trudeau Romance
Forget everything you had on your 2025 celebrity bingo card—we’re here to deliver the political/pop culture crossover no one could have predicted!

It’s official: Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry are sailing the perfect summer wave, with intimate yacht photos from September finally confirming the worst-kept secret in both the political and pop worlds. According to sources, this unlikely pairing of the former Canadian Prime Minister and the American superstar has been a total whirlwind, dating in complete secrecy for months.
Photos of the cozy couple surfaced recently, showing the two embracing on a yacht for a PDA session that sent the internet into a frenzy. And the best part? A source close to the couple confirmed to The Sun that they started dating way back at the beginning of summer 2025!

The Geek, The Glamour & The Long-Distance FaceTime
The source revealed the most surprising detail about this Dark Horse romance: neither Perry nor Trudeau can believe the other is interested!
The ex-PM, who is a geek himself, cannot think that such a glamorous American socialite and star like Katy Perry is interested in him. On the other hand, the singer is flattered that such a respected politician is keen on dating her.
It turns out that their demanding careers haven’t slowed them down. With Katy’s constant concert tours, the pair has maintained a long-distance connection with old-school devotion. The source confirmed:
“They haven’t been able to spend a lot of time together as she’s on tour, but they’re constantly in contact — always FaceTiming and messaging each other.”
A Breath of Fresh Air: Trudeau’s New Chapter
The relationship is reportedly a welcome new chapter for Trudeau, 53, following his 2023 separation from ex-wife Sophie Trudeau. The former leader is “very excited about the process so far,” with the new romance breathing life back into his post-political days.
“He feels like a young adult again, he is very excited about the process so far…” the source dished, adding that the ex-PM has been single for a while and enjoys Katy’s personality. “He is feeling that talking to her and getting to know her is very refreshing, like a breath of fresh air in his life.”
Meanwhile, Katy, 40, who is coming off her separation from actor Orlando Bloom, appreciates Trudeau for being “extremely respectful” and understanding of her personal life.
The duo, who have children from their previous relationships (Daisy Dove for Katy and three children for Justin), were first spotted in public in July, strolling through Mount Royal Park in Montreal before sharing a meal. Since then, they have been taking “gradual, gentlemanly steps,” according to the source.
Looks like this celebrity power coupling is one we’ll be watching very closely!
