International pop sensation Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have ignited a whirlwind of dating rumors after being spotted together multiple times over the past few days in Montreal. The unexpected duo was first seen having dinner at the upscale restaurant Le Violon on July 29, where witnesses described the atmosphere as intimate but friendly. Dressed elegantly and appearing relaxed, the two reportedly stayed for over two hours, sharing laughter, cocktails, and a few personal moments with the kitchen staff after their meal. Paparazzi photos taken outside the venue captured them leaving separately but smiling fueling online speculation that something more than friendship may be brewing.
Just a day later, Trudeau was seen attending Perry’s sold-out Lifetimes Tour concert at Montreal’s Bell Centre on July 30, accompanied by his teenage daughter Ella-Grace. Audience videos quickly surfaced showing the former PM singing along enthusiastically, especially during her hit “Teenage Dream.” Fans were quick to notice his cheerful demeanor, sparking viral jokes and memes across social media platforms. One Twitter user quipped, “He’s not running for office anymore, he’s running into her arms.” Prior to the concert, the pair reportedly took a casual stroll through Mount Royal Park along with Perry’s dog, Nugget. According to onlookers, the two seemed genuinely engaged in deep conversation, with Trudeau even spotted standing closely behind Perry during a rooftop meetup later that evening.
Both celebrities are newly single. Katy Perry announced her split from long-time partner Orlando Bloom in June 2025, while Trudeau finalized his separation from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau back in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. According to sources close to the former Prime Minister, Trudeau has found Perry’s company “refreshing and inspiring,” noting that their conversations have covered everything from parenthood to public service and global responsibility. Insiders also claim that the two have been in touch for some time and are interested in meeting again in the coming weeks.
Public and media reactions have been swift and polarized. While many fans have embraced the possible romance with excitement, dubbing the duo 2025’s “unlikeliest yet most adorable power couple,” others have expressed skepticism, suspecting the sightings might be carefully timed PR moves. Still, several Montreal locals, including a chef from Le Violon, downplayed the hype, stating the dinner “felt more like friends catching up” than anything overtly romantic. Neither Perry nor Trudeau has issued an official statement in response to the growing buzz.
This possible new chapter for both figures comes at a transformative time in their lives. Trudeau stepped down from political leadership earlier this year following mounting pressure within his party, while Perry has faced challenges with the reception of her latest album and recent controversies involving a commercial spaceflight campaign. Observers have even drawn parallels between the couple and Trudeau’s own parents, Pierre and Margaret Trudeau, whose high-profile love lives captured the world’s attention in the 1970s.
