MONTREAL - It is the dinner pairing that has the United States and Canada buzzing. The newly single pop star Katy Perry and Mr Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister of Canada, dropped by a high-end restaurant in Montreal on July 28 for a meal together. Their rendezvous at Le Violon, which specialises in 'seafood-forward cuisine' and is featured in the Michelin Guide, set the internet aflame with speculation about whether the American-born singer and the former head of state were on a date. Now that would be rapprochement, especially amid the chilly state of affairs between the once mutually aligned countries over US President Donald Trump's tariffs and his frequent hectoring of Canada as being the '51st state'. What a juxtaposition. In Perry's parlance? Hot N Cold (2008). Perry, 40, and English actor Orlando Bloom, 48, with whom she shares a four-year-old daughter, recently broke off their engagement. Mr Trudeau, 53, who resigned as prime minister earlier in 2025, separated from his wife of 18 years, Mrs Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, 50, in 2023. They have three children aged 11 to 17. In response to questions from The New York Times, Danny Smiles, the co-owner and co-executive chef of Le Violon, said on July 29 that the restaurant had hosted Mr Trudeau and Perry the previous night. The restaurant confirmed that they had a reservation, but would not say who had booked the table. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

American celebrity website TMZ reported on July 29 about the sighting of Perry and Mr Trudeau at the restaurant, publishing photos of the two there, taking a walk earlier and having drinks later at a tavern. Perry was in between stops on her concert tour in Canada and performed in Ottawa on July 29. She is scheduled to perform in Montreal on July 30 and Quebec City on Aug 1. Representatives for Perry and Trudeau did not immediately respond on July 29 to requests for comment. At dinner, the two had the chef's tasting menu, which included tuna and tomatoes, beef tartare, lobster and asparagus, gnocchi and lamb, according to the restaurant. Smiles went over to the table to greet Perry and Mr Trudeau. He had met the former prime minister before, the restaurant said. 'So it was a friendly exchange,' Smiles said. 'They even came to the kitchen to personally thank the staff before leaving.' Famous for her catchy lyrics, provocative costumes and hits including Teenage Dream (2010), Firework (2010) and Roar (2013), Perry was a judge for several seasons on US reality singing competition American Idol until 2024, and was a Super Bowl halftime show headliner in 2015. In April, she was part of an all-female crew launched briefly into space by Blue Origin, the private spaceflight startup of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Perry is known for her liberal political leanings, having campaigned for both former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former US vice-president Kamala Harris during the 2016 and 2024 presidential elections. The night before the 2024 election, Perry performed at a rally in Pittsburgh for Ms Harris, who lost Pennsylvania and all six other battleground states to Mr Trump in November 2024.

Orlando Bloom Reveals He was ‘Triggered' by ‘Partner' Which Led Him to Therapy—as He Sells $7M Los Angeles Home Following Katy Perry Split
Actor has confessed to being 'triggered' by his ex-'partner,' leading him to seek therapy to heal—after he parted with his $7 million Los Angeles home following his shocking split from . The 48-year-old—who separated from the 'Hot N Cold' hitmaker, 40, in June—got candid about his emotional journey to healing using the Hoffman Method, which is a week-long personal growth retreat where people identify and heal negative patterns. While speaking on Oprah Winfrey's podcast, 'The Oprah Podcast,' Bloom admitted that he had struggled with toxic behaviors and turned to the Hoffman Method to help him change his ways. He explained, 'I went to the Hoffman process about 10 years ago because I'd been triggered in a dynamic with my partner that had led me into a pattern of behavior that was very similar to the way in which I had grown up with my mother.' The actor noted that his childhood left him feeling 'confused' about how to love and how to receive affection. 'I was very confused about how to navigate the dynamics and the feelings that I was having,' he added before revealing that a fellow actor helped push him to the Hoffman Method. 'I was just about to turn 40, and it was really the greatest gift I could give myself, and the greatest reveal in my life up until that point. I felt like I'd almost been born again. It felt like I did 10 years of therapy in one week,' he added. The Hollywood heavyweight further noted that healing himself helped him become a better parent to 4-year-old daughter, Daisy, whom he shares with Perry, and Flynn, 13, with whom she shares with ex Miranda Kerr. 'I think my job as a parent now is to allow my children to grow without getting in their way. It's sort of like, don't get in the way of anyone else's journey. 'Don't let anyone get in the way of your journey, and just be grateful for the opportunities that are presented to you, and see the challenges of the dynamic that are in front of you as an opportunity for you to grow.' He noted that he is not 'perfect,' adding that he is learning as the days go on. 'I'm not saying I'm perfect. It's not easy at all, but it is something that without the Hoffman process, I don't think I could say I would have understood. I think I could have been easily triggered.' 'Now, even if I am and if we come across a situation that we're in conflict about [something], I can take a step back. 'I can let some time pass and then we can re-engage in a conversation where I'm looking at everything from [Flynn's] perspective whilst trying to lay in my thinking without it overwhelming or getting in the way of his process,' he shared. Although the actor didn't name the partner that 'triggered' him, Bloom was in a long-term relationship with Kerr at the time of the incident. His candid confession comes after exclusively revealed that he had sold his four-bedroom, four-bathroom California home one month after listing it. The home was originally built in 1959. Mexican architect Miguel Angel Aragonés, who sold the home to Bloom, had expanded and enhanced the home's midcentury modern architecture. Bloom's renovations included a new, zero-edge pool with an ipe wood deck. The outdoor area features bulit-in seating and a fire pit, and can be accessed via floor-to-ceiling sliders from several rooms in the house. The actor initially listed the abode in 2019 for $9 million, after having paid $7 million for the pad in 2017. The 4,011-square-foot, single-story home has four bedrooms and four baths. It sits on a hillside overlooking the city and the ocean. A mature hedge out front provides privacy. Bloom also opened up the floor plan, expanding the kitchen and allowing in more natural light. He added bespoke Poliform fixtures and finishes as well as indoor LED lighting. The master suite also had some work done. After the actor moved in, he opened the space so it could open out to the pool and has generous closet space. The master bath has a wet room with a free-standing tub and shower. There's a private patio right outside the floor-to ceiling windows. One of the home's more fascinating features is a sunken conversation pit lined with sumptuous sofas in the living room. News of the actor's home sale comes after it was revealed that Perry and Bloom had called it quits. The former couple began dating in 2016 after meeting at a Golden Globes after-party, where they fought over an In 'N' Out burger, the singer previously revealed during an episode of 'American Idol.'

Orlando Bloom shares cryptic post about new beginnings after Katy Perry split
Washington [US], July 1 (ANI): Actor Orlando Bloom has shared a series of cryptic messages on his Instagram stories, hinting at a new chapter in his life. The British actor posted quotes from Buddha and Japanese author Daisaku Ikeda, emphasising the importance of taking the first step towards a new beginning. Bloom's first post featured a quote from Buddha, reading, "Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most." He followed it up with another post quoting Daisaku Ikeda, which read, "The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next." The posts come after Bloom's split from Katy Perry, with whom he shares a 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove. According to Page Six, Bloom attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Venice, Italy, solo, where he reportedly partied hard and buddied up with Leonardo DiCaprio. He was also spotted taking a stroll with Sydney Sweeney and Tom Brady in Venice. Earlier, sharing her "mood," Katy Perry also posted a carousel of photos on Instagram from her day at Rottnest Island in Australia on June 27. Her visit to the nature reserve came a day after a source confirmed to People that the longtime couple had called off their nearly 6-year engagement. Among the collection of photos shared was Perry posing alongside a quokka before later spotting a chocolate version of the animal in a shop. She also shared a video of herself being surrounded by birds on the beach and embracing "brain rot" with her team while on a boat. Perry appeared in good spirits in all of the photos and clips taken just hours before she was set to perform in Adelaide as part of the sold-out Australia leg of her Lifetimes tour. "mood: Quokka," the "Hot N Cold" musician captioned the post. (ANI)
