The unexpected romance between the pop superstar Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is gaining strength after several months of speculation. On October 25, both characters were photographed holding hands and celebrating the singer’s 41st birthday.
This Tuesday, October 28, PEOPLE sources stated that Perry and Trudeau “are very committed to this new stage,” despite their busy schedules and the continents that separate them most of the time.
What began as a casual connection has quickly evolved into a relationship that, according to an insider cited by the magazine, “It’s already pretty serious and it’s definitely headed in that direction.”.
The romantic relationship between the singer and the politician began discreetly in the middle of the northern summer. Perry, who is currently touring the world with his Lifetimes World Tour, and Trudeau were first seen in Montreal during a date in July, which immediately sparked interest from fans and the press.
A source in the Canadian political environment assured PEOPLE that “They are truly a couple and have been seeing each other as often as possible.”
Three months after that first meeting, the couple was photographed kissing on a yacht near Santa Barbarathe singer’s hometown, at the beginning of October.
But the clearest evidence of their relationship came last weekend. During a night of partying at the iconic cabaret Crazy Horse ParisPerry and Trudeau were caught smiling, holding hands and showing that they had no intention of hiding.
The artist, who was celebrating her birthday, wore a tight-fitting red dress; while the prime minister appeared in a formal black suit. Photographers also captured the moment when the “Teenage Dream” singer received a rose from a passerby while Trudeau placed his hand on her back.
Although neither of them have made direct public statements about the relationship, Perry dropped a subtle joke during a concert in London when a fan tried to propose to her: “You know, you should have asked me 48 hours ago“, he said in possible reference to the fact that he would already have a new romantic partner.
In the exclusive report of PEOPLEa source close to Perry explained how Trudeau has won the artist’s heart: “He has made a real effort to search for her and find her wherever she is, literally.”
This person said that Katy is flattered by the politician’s dedication and that the circumstances make her feel very good.
“Dating Justin was something she never imagined, but she is enjoying this surprising turn of life.”the source told the American magazine.
“Katy didn’t expect to fall in love with someone so soon, but Justin checks all the boxes. “He has a great sense of humor, he is charming and he treats her with respect,” said the vocalist’s close friend.
Both arrive at this new chapter after media separations that marked their personal lives.
Perry officially ended her engagement to the actor Orlando Bloom in June, after almost nine years of an on-again, off-again relationship. They both share the upbringing of their daughter Daisy, 5 years old, and maintain a cordial relationship as co-parents.
For his part, Trudeau announced his separation from Sophie Gregoire in 2023, after 18 years of marriage and three children together. Although they are already considered legally separated, their divorce process has not yet been concluded.
