Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau spark romance rumours
People recently saw the two together in Montreal, igniting romance rumours that have captured global attention.
A close insider said that Katy Perry, 40, and Trudeau, 53, share a strong attraction. 'They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes,' the source said, according to Page Six.
'She is travelling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer the prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common.'
Music is among the mutual interests both share.
An insider noted, 'Both are idealists who still live in a world where they believe they can make improvements, even though it has become more difficult.'
The couple's busy lives and parenting duties could slow down any blossoming relationship. Trudeau separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023 after 18 years of marriage.
They share three children aged 17, 16, and 11.
Katy Perry is a mother to four-year-old Daisy, whom she shares with actor Orlando Bloom, from whom she recently split after 10 years together.
The insider remarked that having involved ex-partners is an advantage. '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'.
The pair were first spotted dining together at an upscale Montreal restaurant, Le Violon, on 28 July. There was no overt public display of affection, but their interaction raised eyebrows.
Trudeau was also seen front and centre at Katy Perry's sold-out Lifetimes Tour concert in Montreal days later. He was cheering her on from the crowd in a casual black T-shirt.
Justin Trudeau's relationships have long attracted media scrutiny, but this marks his first significant romance speculation since leaving office early in 2025.
Their story highlights the universal complexities of managing high-profile personal lives amidst demanding careers and family commitments.
The narrative of finding shared values and optimism amid busy schedules resonates worldwide.
Their story also reminds us that even celebrities and politicians navigate the delicate balance of love, parenting, and public life.
The current exchange between Perry and Trudeau remains in its early stages, with careful steps taken to manage private lives under a public gaze. Only time will tell if this connection will develop into a deeper relationship.

Jacob Zuma wants Cyril Ramaphosa gone
Former President Jacob Zuma has issued a legal ultimatum to President Cyril Ramaphosa, demanding his resignation by Friday, 8 August, or face potential legal action. The demand comes amid a deepening political standoff within the highest ranks of government, centered around allegations of constitutional violations and executive overreach. Zuma's legal team delivered a letter to the presidency on Monday, accusing Ramaphosa of breaching the Constitution by failing to act decisively against Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, who faces corruption allegations and accusations of political interference by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. Rather than dismiss Mchunu, Ramaphosa opted for suspension – an action Zuma argues amounts to dereliction of constitutional duty. Legal analyst Benedict Phiri weighed in on the matter, stating: 'The President may have breached his oath of office. This targets how he handled a cabinet member's potential conflict of interest.' The development follows a string of recent legal setbacks for Zuma and his affiliated uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party. Last week, the Constitutional Court dismissed the MK party's attempt to seek direct intervention in the matter, and a separate application by Zuma challenging Ramaphosa's executive authority was also rejected. This latest move marks a significant escalation in Zuma's ongoing campaign against Ramaphosa's leadership. While the Presidency has yet to officially respond, the Friday deadline looms, placing pressure on Ramaphosa to act swiftly or risk further legal and political fallout. Observers say the situation could soon head to the courts, potentially triggering a constitutional crisis.
