Reports this week have stirred intense speculation about a possible relationship between Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. According to outlets such as The Daily Mail, images circulated online appeared to show Perry and Trudeau together on a yacht near Santa Barbara, California, sparking rumours that went viral.
At her London show at the O2 Arena, Perry added fuel to the discussion with remarks that is seen as indirect confirmation of a new relationship. When a fan dropped to one knee mid-show and proposed, Perry playfully responded, “I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago,” a timeline that matched when she was photographed with Trudeau off the California coast.
During the same performance, she teased the crowd again, saying, “London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night after a whole day at work and a whole day at school? No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time… but not anymore.” The audience took that as a pointed hint, since Perry had previously been romantically linked to Englishmen like Russell Brand and Orlando Bloom.
Before this recent wave of rumours, Perry had maintained she was focusing on co-parenting her daughter Daisy following her separation from Bloom earlier this year. The pop star and Bloom began dating in 2016, briefly split in 2017, reconciled in 2018, and got engaged in 2019. In 2020, she announced through her music video for “Never Worn White” that they were expecting their first child together. Despite their split, she has said that both she and Bloom remain protective parents.
Reports suggest Trudeau had allegedly been in contact with Perry since July, making frequent trips to California. Some tabloids stated they had been seen together on a date late that month, although neither Perry nor Trudeau publicly confirmed any relationship at that time.
Trudeau, who separated from wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023 after 18 years of marriage, has also been in headlines due to the speculation. The former couple shares three children: Xavier, Hadrien, and Ella-Grace. After images of Trudeau and Perry began circulating online, Sophie posted a reflective message on Instagram that read, “Sometimes we forget that nothing we love is ever meant to be kept. The people, the places, even the moments that once felt infinite, right?”
Perry was previously married to comedian Russell Brand. Their 2010 wedding in Rajasthan followed Hindu traditions, but the marriage ended after just over a year. Perry later said Brand was controlling and claimed he ended their relationship via text message.
Although neither Perry nor Trudeau has made a direct public statement addressing the nature of their connection, Perry’s recent onstage remarks have been widely interpreted as acknowledging the rumours without fully confirming them. For now, the situation remains a mix of speculation, celebrity intrigue, and carefully worded comments.
