Diplo Jokes Jokes That Justin Trudeau Was ‘The One That Got Away’ After Addressing Past Katy Perry Romance
The pop star and politician are now officially an item.
Diplo got the short end of the stick in his “love triangle” with Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau — something he joked about in a hilarious recent Instagram post.
On Monday (Nov. 3), the DJ shared a selfie he once snapped at a crowded event with the former Canadian prime minister on Instagram. In the picture, Diplo makes a silly face while Trudeau stares straight into the camera.
“the one that got away,” the musician wrote in his caption, playfully referencing Perry’s 2011 hit of the same name.
The humorous post comes a few weeks after Diplo addressed his past fling with the pop star — who is now linked to Trudeau — on Nayeema Raza’s Smart Girls Dumb Questions podcast. At the time, the host had started to say that she knew “so many people” who’d dated the politician, but before she could finish, Diplo had interjected, “… who’ve dated Katy Perry? Like me?”
Indeed, the producer and Perry were briefly romantically involved circa 2014. Three years later, the singer would rank Diplo last on her list of best and worst ex-partners in the bedroom, after which he would write on X that he’d “won the bronze in sex Olympics.”
“Now, Katy Perry’s dating Justin Trudeau,” Diplo continued on Raza’s show. “Pretty fire.”
He went on to joke that he’d “dated Trudeau, too,” but ultimately determined, “That was a weird one, though. I’m just not into politicians. He is kinda hot.”
Diplo’s remarks come shortly after Perry and Trudeau made their debut with their first public outing as a couple, stepping out together in Paris. Before that, the Ottawa native had attended one of the musician’s concerts in Montreal before packing on the PDA with Perry on a boat.
