It’s official: Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are dating.

Months after first being spotted together, the pop superstar, 41, and the former Canadian prime minister, 53, made their first public appearance as a couple on Saturday (Oct. 25).


Perry and Trudeau celebrated the singer’s 41st birthday with a date night at Crazy Horse Paris, according to TMZ. Photos from the evening show the couple leaving the theater, hand in hand and smiling.

Their relationship confirmation comes about two weeks after Perry jokingly addressed the dating rumors during her London concert on Oct. 13. While performing, she noticed a fan’s sign that read, “Katy Perry, will you marry me?”

“You heard I was single? That’s interesting,” Perry said. “You know you really should have asked me about 48 hours ago.”

She added playfully, “He’s just a little too late…,” hinting that she was already off the market.&

Before that moment, photos had surfaced of Perry and Trudeau kissing on a yacht, following earlier sightings of them dining together in Canada shortly after Trudeau attended Perry’s July concert in Montreal. The politician was even spotted singing along to “Firework” during her Lifetimes Tour stop at the Bell Centre.

Perry’s new romance comes a few months after her split from actor Orlando Bloom in early July. The couple dated on and off for nearly nine years and share a daughter, Daisy Dove.

“Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting,” their representatives said in a statement to Billboard at the time. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”

Trudeau also went through a public separation in August 2023, announcing his split from wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, with whom he shares three children.

Goldie Boutilier Leads List of Nominees For 2026 East Coast Music Awards: Full List

Other leading contenders are Daniel James McFadyen, Mallory Johnson and Cassie and Maggie. This year's event follows a year shrouded in controversy.

The East Coast Music Awards are back after a year of controversy.

The 2025 edition of the East Coast Music Awards was surrounded by controversy over the firing of the previous East Coast Music Association CEO Blanche Israël. Several artists boycotted the association's awards show and conference and called for transparency about governance and the nomination processes. In March 2025, the trade org published a six-point action plan, and later appointed former Great Big Sea member Bob Hallett as the new Executive Director.
