Pop star Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s rumoured romance seems to be hitting all the right notes, with sources saying the duo is “definitely into each other.”A Canadian insider told PEOPLE that the pair are “quite taken with each other” and share a mutual respect along with an intellectual bond. “In addition to the attraction, they are both smart and love to talk about serious issues,” the source said.The romance is said to have started in July 2025, when Perry, 40, and Trudeau, 53, were first spotted together in Montreal for a stroll, drinks, and dinner. This came a month after Perry’s split from actor Orlando Bloom and two years after Trudeau ended his 18-year marriage to Sophie Grégoire. Two nights after their initial outing, Trudeau attended Perry’s Montreal concert.A source close to the singer said that when Perry first went out with Trudeau, she was not looking to date, but the pair stayed in touch. “They have many shared interests and a lot to talk about, but Katy was navigating too many things to even think about dating then,” the insider revealed. Trudeau reportedly pursued the connection actively, even flying to California to see Perry during a tour break. “They have an easy connection. She finds him attractive. He’s been very respectful,” the source said.The pair’s recent yacht photos, released by the Daily Mail, have gone viral. The images, taken aboard Perry’s 24-metre yacht off Santa Barbara, show the duo engaging in visible PDA. The images, even though blurry, reveal hugging, kissing, and intimate gestures, including Trudeau placing a hand on Perry’s bottom.
A ‘supersized attraction’
According to a source close to Trudeau, the couple have been taking things slowly due to their busy schedules. Perry is on her Lifetimes World Tour, which continues through December, while Trudeau has family obligations in Canada. “They have stayed in touch since the middle of summer but haven’t been able to spend that much time together, due mainly to her schedule,” the source said.“Justin thinks she is terrific. It has had time to develop on a friend and intellectual level as well as supersized attraction. The romance has merit,” the insider added.Perry appeared to acknowledge the dating rumours during a London tour stop when a fan held up a sign saying, “I heard you’re single.” She replied, “You heard I was single? That’s interesting.” Neither Perry nor Trudeau has publicly commented on the status of their relationship.Perry shares a five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, with Bloom, and was previously married to comedian Russell Brand. Trudeau shares three children—Xavier, 18, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrien, 11—with ex-wife Grégoire. Go to Source
