Katy Perry captured on a date with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
The unlikely pair were spotted sharing a meal at an upscale restaurant in Montreal, Le Violin, on Monday night.
Video footage obtained by TMZ captured Perry leaning in as Mr Trudeau spoke, suggesting a thoughtful and lively conversation between them.
According to a restaurant patron who was sitting nearby, security guards were discreetly monitoring the two through mirrored glass as they shared several dishes and enjoyed cocktails together.
The atmosphere also seemed warm enough that they personally visited the kitchen afterwards to thank the staff.
The outing comes just a month after Perry announced her separation from actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares a daughter.
Meanwhile, Mr Trudeau has been single since his separation from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023 and his resignation as Prime Minister in early 2025.
Perry is currently touring Canada, with performances following in Ottawa and Montreal.

WA uranium mining ban takes centre stage at Diggers and Dealers opener
Australia is sinking billions of dollars into an uncertain bid to become the world's leading green hydrogen exporter, but it already has the ingredients to become a renewable energy superpower, a Canadian physician-turned-nuclear evangelist says. All that is needed is the stroke of a pen to banish one rule that stands in the way. Australia already exports enough uranium to offset the emissions of the country's entire coal fleet, but only South Australia and the Northern Territory allow the mining of uranium ore. Despite Western Australia boasting vast reserves of the radioactive metal, the Labor state government has had a ban on new uranium projects since 2017. Dr Chris Keefer, a Canadian nuclear influencer headlining the annual Diggers and Dealers mining conference in Kalgoorlie, urged a rethink, arguing it would help global emissions and the Australian economy. 'There's been a lot of talk, and I understand that it's gone up in smoke now, about Australia becoming a hydrogen exporter, a green energy superpower, the Saudi Arabia of hydrogen, right?' Keefer told a tentful of miners and investors in the WA gold mining town. 'And it's ignoring the fact that you already are a clean energy superpower in terms of your exports. 'So one half of Australia's emissions are offset by its uranium exports, which are used around the world instead of, you know, a mix of coal and gas. Your entire coal fleet's emissions are essentially offset by the uranium that you export. 'So hopefully, God willing, sense will return, and you'll be able to contribute more.'

Woolworths, Coles, Aldi and McDonald's reject US beef
Don't miss out on the headlines from Companies. Followed categories will be added to My News. Woolworths, Coles and McDonald's say they will not import US beef following Australia's loosening of biosecurity restrictions. In a contentious move, the federal government has allowed Canadian and Mexican cattle killed in the US to be imported into Australia. Following the change to this 20-year policy, the Trump administration slapped Australia with the lowest of its universal tariff rates, applying a 10 per cent levy on Australian exports. Despite the North American beef now allowed to land in Australia, consumers are unlikely to see much US beef on supermarket shelves or in fast-food restaurants. Aldi, Coles, McDonald's and Woolworths all say Australian customers will be eating homegrown beef. 'We apply an Australia-first approach, and 100 per cent of our fresh red meat is sourced directly from Australian farmers, with whom we have longstanding relationships,' a Woolworths spokesperson told NewsWire. 'We have no plans to change that approach.' Spokespeople for Aldi and Coles say there are no plans to change from 100 per cent Australian beef. Some 80 million kilos of beef are dished out by the Golden Arches each year, and McDonald's too says it will not be buying from North America. 'We'll continue to source 100 per cent Aussie beef for our menu and provide our customers with the great taste, quality, and value they know and love.' Last month, Agriculture Minister Julie Collins confirmed Australia would remove the ban on American beef from cattle originating in Canada and Mexico after a decade-long review. The US has similar, granular farm animal tracing as in Australia that largely stamps out diseases spreading from beast to beast. Regulations are more lax in Canada and Mexico. The federal opposition criticised the move, suggesting Australia had bargained away its biosecurity to get a better negotiating position with the Trump administration over the President's sweeping global tariffs. The government rejected this claim. The Nationals also called for an independent review of the US beef import rules. US Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Australia changing its rules was a nod to President Trump's acumen. 'This is yet another example of the kind of market access the President negotiates to bring America into a new golden age of prosperity, with American agriculture leading the way,' Ms Rollins said last month. 'It's absurd that non-scientific trade barriers prevented our beef from being sold to consumers in Australia for the last 20 years.' In the wake of President Trump's economy-rattling 'Liberation Day' tariff announcements earlier this year, countries have been scrambling to carve out exemptions or deals with the US. Australia and the US have a free trade agreement, and in 2024, the US exported twice as much to Australia as it imported from Down Under – $50.6bn versus $23.8bn. Despite the trade agreement and Australia being in a trade deficit, the US administration put its global baseline 10 per cent excise on Australian products. Australia was one of the few countries to escape with just a 10 per cent levy when the extended negotiation deadline came and went on Friday, August 1.
