Even by celebrity standards, this coupling feels like a fever dream. But just days after their public debut, where they were photographed walking hand in hand leaving the Crazy Horse cabaret, People magazine has confirmed that Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are, in fact, officially a couple.
It’s an unexpected pairing, yes—the pop star/one-time astronaut and the former Canadian president—but somehow it makes about as much sense as anything else in today’s headlines. According to sources, the relationship is already “fairly serious,” despite the two having very different and busy schedules.
“He’s made a real effort to meet her where she is—literally,” one insider told People, noting that Trudeau, 53, has been joining Perry, 41, between stops in her Lifetimes world tour. “He’s shown that he’s committed and really cares about spending time with her. It’s clear that he values the connection, and so does Katy.”
For her part, Perry is said to be “flattered” and “in a great place” regarding the romance. While she didn’t see it coming, she’s been “really enjoying this surprising life twist,” as the politician reportedly “checks all the boxes” with his sense of humour and respectful treatment of Perry.
“He is crazy about her and thinks she is the perfect woman,” a source told Page Six. “They are simpatico on everything, including politics, kids and French food.”
Both enter this new chapter after long-term relationships. Earlier this year, Perry announced she and Orlando Bloom had broken up after nearly a decade together. The two share a daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, whom they continue to co-parent.
Meanwhile, Trudeau separated from his ex-wife, Sophie Grégoire, in 2023 after 18 years and three children together.
