Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau Are ‘Interested in Each Other'
THE RUNDOWN Pop star Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sparked romance rumors in July after being seen on what looked like several dates in Montréal. A source speaking with People this week has said that the pair definitely share an interest in one another, but there are some roadblocks to a potential relationship. 'They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes,' the insider stated. 'She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common.' The source added, 'Music is one of many things they can share. Both are idealists and still live in a world where they think they can make improvements, although it has gotten more difficult.' Trudeau and his wife Sophie Grégoire announced their split in 2023 after 18 years together. Perry ended her long term relationship with actor Orlando Bloom in early July. Though they're now both single and free to pursue a relationship, the source explained that certain logistics make it difficult. 'Their own personal responsibilities could make this relationship move slower than it would, but there are ways to see the other and still fulfill their parenting responsibilities,' the source said. 'For one thing, they each have an ex. So, duties are split in half. And long-distance relationships, while still hard, are possible for these two.' A second source told People, 'Justin is a [politician] who is used to living a secret life with his personal activity, and wouldn't put on a public display at this stag. He knows they were being watched and is smart enough to play it low-key for now.' '[The] timing seems good for them, although a romance is in very early stages,' the source added.

As recognizable as any other entity in advertising, the bulky, furry protector of our forests comes with a distinct past. Its multifaceted tale is not just about a displaced cub and a Southwest fire, but the interwoven lives of a popular German-born illustrator, a Kansas-born U.S. Forest Service employee and artist, and a New York City fire chief of awe-inspiring indomitability.
