Katy Perry And Justin Trudeau Spotted Dining Together In Montreal: Romance Or Just Dinner?
In a surprising crossover that sent the internet into a frenzy, pop icon Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were spotted dining together at Le Violon, a cozy neighbourhood restaurant in Montreal's Le Plateau, on Monday, July 28. The unexpected pairing comes just weeks after Perry's confirmed split from actor Orlando Bloom, fueling speculation that this dinner was more than just a friendly meet-up.
According to a report by People, the duo enjoyed a leisurely meal featuring cocktails and gourmet dishes, including a lobster entrée. They were also seen visiting the kitchen to meet Chef Danny Smiles, thanking the staff before they left the restaurant. The dinner reportedly lasted over two hours, and paparazzi snaps of the evening quickly made their way across social media, sparking headlines and hashtags.
While fans were quick to dub it a 'date night," sources close to the situation are painting a different picture. A TMZ report suggests that there may be no romantic angle here at all. Danny Smiles, co-owner and chef of Le Violon, told TMZ that the vibe between Perry and Trudeau didn't read as romantic. 'They seemed like two friends having a relaxed meal," he noted, shutting down rumours of a budding relationship.
Still, the timing of the dinner has added to the intrigue. Earlier this month, Perry and Bloom, who share a daughter, Daisy Dove, publicly confirmed their separation after months of speculation. In a joint statement, their representatives stated that the couple had been 'shifting their relationship to focus on co-parenting" and that their priority remains raising their daughter 'with love, stability, and mutual respect."
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship began in 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty, leading to an engagement in 2019 and the birth of their daughter in 2020.
Justin Trudeau, meanwhile, separated from his wife, former TV host Sophie Grégoire, in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. The former couple share three children—Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien. At the time, Trudeau posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, saying, 'We remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other."
Whether Perry and Trudeau are simply friends or something more, neither party has commented on the evening or addressed the rumours. But in an era where celebrity sightings spark global headlines within minutes, one thing is certain: this dinner has left fans curious and the internet buzzing.
Was it just a casual catch-up or the beginning of a new chapter for two high-profile single parents? Time, or perhaps another dinner, will tell.

Justin Timberlake reveals Lyme disease battle during tour: Symptoms, struggles and what fans need to know
Justin Timberlake shocked fans on 31 July 2025, announcing via Instagram that he's been living with Lyme disease while performing on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour—which wrapped up that same day in Turkey. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He called it 'relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically'. Despite chronic nerve pain, extreme fatigue, and sickness, Timberlake powered through roughly 90 shows over 15 months. He admitted thinking about quitting, but he said, "the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling" and that he doesn't regret continuing. He explained he felt shocked when first diagnosed, but it helped explain why he sometimes skipped singing or leaned on the crowd to fill in lyrics. He said he's sharing this to clear up misunderstandings and connect with others going through similar struggles In a long post on Instagram Timberlake wrote: "Among other things, I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease -— which I don't say so you feel bad for me –– but to shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes. If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically. When I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness. I was faced with a personal decision. Stop touring? Or, keep going and figure it out. I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going. " What Is Lyme Disease? Lyme disease, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, spreads via infected tick bites—with deer ticks being the most common carrier in the US Early symptoms can include a bullseye rash (though not everyone gets it), fever, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes With prompt diagnosis, it's typically treatable with 10–14 days of antibiotics. But delays can allow the infection to spread to joints, heart, or the nervous system, and some people face lingering issues known as Post‑Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) Why this matters Lyme disease is the most commonly diagnosed tick-borne illness in the US, especially across the Northeast and Midwest Timberlake's openness joins that of celebs like Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Bella Hadid—people often assume it's rare, but it affects hundreds of thousands in the US annually His tour officials noted multiple show cancellations earlier in the run due to flu, a back injury, respiratory illness, and ankle issues, emphasizing the toll it took How to stay safe from Lyme While Timberlake didn't go into details about his treatment, these are recognized best practices for Lyme prevention and care: Avoid tick-infested areas, especially during warmer months. Use repellents like DEET and treat clothing or gear with permethrin. Check yourself and pets after time outdoors. If a tick is attached, remove it carefully (by the head) as soon as possible. See a doctor if you notice a rash, fever, or flu‑like symptoms after a bite. Early antibiotics are key
