MONTREAL, CANADA — Is this the quiet start of the most surprising celebrity couple of 2025? There is a lot of talk about what happened after former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was seen quietly enjoying Katy Perry’s Montreal concert on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, just a day after they were seen having dinner together.
Trudeau, who was wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, kept a low profile in the Bell Centre’s VIP room. But eagle-eyed concertgoers saw him and filmed him dancing alone to Perry’s spectacular show.

Fans on social media platform X (previously Twitter) were quick to respond, with many believing that the allegations of a relationship are true. “Katy Perry’s new boyfriend, Justin Trudeau, is already showing up for her a day after their first date. Orlando Bloom, on the other hand, took two years to see her tour.” “This is a HUGE upgrade,” one person noted with excitement. “Wait, is she going to be the president of Canada now?” one person joked. It’s evident that the internet is really “shipping” this possible new couple. One commentator even joked, “Bro must be DOWN BAD if he’s willing to go to a Lifetime concert,” which is a funny reference to Perry’s current “Lifetimes Tour.”

Dinner Date Sparked Rumors
TMZ’s allegation earlier this week that Trudeau and Perry had dinner together at Montreal’s famous fine-dining restaurant Le Violon is what got everyone so excited. The restaurant itself said that the two people talked quietly for around two hours, keeping a low profile. Samantha Jin, a communications consultant who saw the meeting, said there was “no PDA, no selfies—just a chill vibe.” Later, TMZ got video of the two walking in Montreal’s Mount Royal Park and drinking cocktails on the patio of Taverne Atlantic, which added to the excitement.
Neither Justin Trudeau nor Katy Perry’s reps have officially verified the nature of their relationship or replied to demands for comment, but a number of coincidences are making the situation more interesting. Katy Perry is presently on the Canadian leg of her “Lifetimes Tour.” She recently confirmed that she and her long-time fiancé Orlando Bloom had broken up in June 2025 after being on and off for almost ten years. Justin Trudeau, who was Prime Minister for almost ten years before stepping down earlier this year, also announced his separation from his wife, Sophie Grégoire, in August 2023. Both are well-known people who are now unmarried.
No matter if this story is a carefully planned PR operation, the start of a powerful new celebrity couple, or just two people who are newly single having dinner and a show, one thing is for sure: the public can’t look away. It seems that Justin Trudeau, who was once recognized for his political skills, is now enjoying his “California pop queen era” in the public eye.
