The long-rumored romance between pop sensation Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been officially confirmed. Perry took to Instagram on Saturday to share a series of intimate photos and videos from her recent trip to Japan, including several cozy shots with Trudeau, marking a definitive “hard launch” of their relationship.
The post, which Perry captioned simply, “tokyo times on tour and more,” showcased the couple enjoying their time together during the Japan leg of the singer’s Lifetimes Tour. One standout image is a cheek-to-cheek selfie, while a video shows them sharing a meal and exchanging affectionate glances.
From Paris Debut to Diplomatic Lunch
The public confirmation follows months of speculation that began shortly after both figures separated from their long-term partners: Perry from actor Orlando Bloom, and Trudeau from his wife, Sophie Grégoire.
- First Sighting: Rumours first surfaced in July when the pair was spotted walking their dogs and dining together in Montreal. Sources suggest Trudeau had been “pursuing” the singer since their first date.
- Public Debut: The couple made their first official public appearance hand-in-hand in Paris on October 25, when they attended a cabaret show to celebrate Perry’s 41st birthday.
- Diplomatic Tag: Their relationship received a high-profile nod earlier this week in Tokyo. Former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida posted a photograph on X of himself and his wife having lunch with Trudeau and referred to Perry explicitly as his “partner.”
Trudeau later re-shared Kishida’s post, writing, “Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko,” officially acknowledging Perry in a diplomatic context.
The surprise pairing has quickly become one of the year’s most talked-about celebrity-political romances, with fans delighted to see the duo looking relaxed and happy together.
