Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry Confirm Their Relationship by Going ‘Instagram Official’

Pop star Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seem to confirm their relationship with a series of photos on Instagram.

Pop singer Katy Perry posted a carousel of photos to Instagram over the weekend, featuring herself and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, with whom she has been rumored for months to be in a relationship.

The pictures seem to confirm the relationship three days after former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida posted a photo on X/Twitter of himself and his wife alongside the pair, referring to Perry as Trudeau’s “partner.”

Trudeau reposted the photo, adding, “Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko,” and thanking Kishida for his friendship and his “continued commitment to the international rules-based order.”

Ian Bremmer, president of the Eurasia Group, a political risk consultancy, quipped: “Katy Perry doing international diplomacy. Did not have this on my top risks 2025 list!”

Fans and the media alike have been speculating since July about Perry and Trudeau’s relationship. It began when the couple were seen dining together at a restaurant. Soon after, they were seen embracing on a yacht, and leaving a Parisian club holding hands.

Celebrity couples that unite the political and pop worlds are relatively uncommon, though CNN notes that Trudeau’s own father, Pierre, himself a former Canadian Prime Minister, briefly dated legendary singer Barbra Streisand in the 1960s.

Trudeau and his ex-wife Sophie Gregoire, with whom he shares three children, separated in August 2023. Perry confirmed in July that she had split from actor Orlando Bloom, the father of her five-year-old daughter.

In August, shortly after speculation about Trudeau and Perry’s relationship began, satirical news outlet The Onion posted a piece imagining Bloom dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Bloom responded in the comments section of the post on Instagram, showing his appreciation with three clapping emojis.
