Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has confirmed he is in a relationship with pop star Katy Perry after the two appeared together at a diplomatic lunch in Tokyo.
Perry paused her Lifetimes world tour to join Trudeau for a meeting with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife Yuko. Trudeau later posted a photo of the meeting on X, writing that he and Perry were happy to sit with Kishida and thanked him for his friendship.
In the photo, Perry is seen standing beside Trudeau in a green outfit while Trudeau appears in a grey suit. Kishida replied to the post, wishing the couple happy holidays.
The post quickly went viral as social media users called it the “craziest hard launch,” reacting with surprise to the public confirmation of their relationship.
Trudeau and Perry were first seen together in July during a dinner in Montreal. Trudeau also attended her tour show in Canada.
Perry ended her long relationship with actor Orlando Bloom earlier this year, and they continue to co-parent their daughter, Daisy Dove. Trudeau separated from his wife Sophie Gregoire in 2023.
