In a revelation that has caught the attention of international media, Justin Trudeau, the former Canadian Prime Minister, and pop sensation Katy Perry have made their romantic relationship public. This announcement came through an Instagram post by Perry on Saturday, which included a personal selfie and a video of the couple enjoying sushi in Tokyo, where Perry is on her concert tour.
The first whispers of a connection between Trudeau and Perry emerged in late July 2025 when they were spotted at an exclusive dinner in Montreal. Since then, their frequent public appearances have sparked curiosity and conjecture about the status of their relationship. The couple's attendance at a charity event in Paris in November added fuel to the rumors, which were finally confirmed with the recent social media post.
Both Trudeau and Perry have been in the limelight for their previous high-profile marriages and relationships. Perry's dating history includes a brief marriage to comedian Russell Brand and a long-term relationship with actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she has a daughter. Trudeau, who served as Canada's prime minister for nearly a decade before stepping down in March 2025, was previously married to Sophie Grégoire, with whom he shares three children.
The relationship between Trudeau and Perry comes at a time when both have been involved in various activities outside their primary careers. Perry's recent headlines include her outspoken views on immigration, while Trudeau has transitioned from politics to personal life after his departure from office.
The public response to their relationship has been mixed, with social posts ranging from support to more critical takes, as seen in a controversial tweet from Wendy's following Perry's space flight earlier this year.
Despite their high-profile statuses and the public fascination with their personal lives, Trudeau and Perry have not issued further statements about their relationship beyond their initial Instagram reveal.
