Pop singer Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have sparked dating rumours after being spotted together in public.
At Perry’s Lifetime concert in Montreal this week, Trudeau was seen in attendance in the crowd. The pair were also seen dining together at a fancy French restaurant just a few days prior to the concert.
However, a spokesperson from the restaurant Le Violon addressed speculation of a romance, telling The Guardian that there were “no visual signs of PDA or anything”.
TMZ first reported on the dinner, posting a photo of Trudeau deep in conversation at the restaurant.
Newly single, Perry split from her longtime partner, Orlando Bloom, recently. Trudeau and his ex-wife Sophie Gregoire separated in 2023.
Earlier this year, Trudeau announced his resignation as Prime Minister after nearly a decade in power. His father was the late prime minister Pierre Trudeau, who was also linked to a famous singer when he briefly dated Barbra Streisand from 1969 to 1970.
Justin Trudeau took over as Liberal leader in 2013 and was first elected as prime minister in 2015. He won two more elections in 2019 and 2021, before resigning in 2025 and being replaced by elected Liberal leader Mark Carney.
A 13-time Grammy award nominee, Perry is an American pop singer famous for ushering popular 2000s hits and becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time. She released her latest album ‘143’ in September 2024, and she is currently touring until December this year.
Perry was also part of the all-women Blue Origin crew that flew to space in April this year. The mission was met with mixed reactions as the flight only lasted for just over ten minutes and received widespread media attention for its supposed ‘female empowerment’ intentions.
Just over a month ago, it was confirmed that Perry and Bloom, who share a 4-year-old daughter, decided to end their engagement. While neither have publicly addressed the breakup, reps for the former couple have released comments.
“Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting,” the couples teams reportedly told E! News in a statement.
“They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is—and always will be—raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”
