Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has dinner with singer Katy Perry in Montreal
MONTREAL — Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry had dinner together in Montreal this week. A communications consultant for the restaurant Le Violon confirmed Tuesday that the former prime minister and the singer spent about two hours at the fine-dining spot Monday evening. Photos of the meetup published by TMZ sparked speculation of a budding romance. Samantha Jin said the pair kept to themselves and neither the staff nor other patrons approached them for a photo. 'We kind of got the vibe that they were a little more chill,' she said. Jin added that there was no indication of romance in the air, noting: 'No visual signs of PDA or anything.' The report about the dinner first appeared on TMZ, which posted video of Trudeau and Perry in animated conversation at the eatery. Perry recently split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom and is on tour with stops including Ottawa on Tuesday, Montreal on Wednesday, Quebec City on Friday, and two dates in Toronto next week. Trudeau and his ex-wife Sophie Grégoire separated in 2023. During the meal, Jin said security watched from the bar as the pair noshed on a chef's menu featuring a range of appetizers including tuna, beef tartare, lobster and asparagus, with lamb as their main course. Jin said Chef Danny Smiles stopped by their table to say hello, and before heading out, they came into the kitchen to thank the team. A spokeswoman for Trudeau didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokeswoman for Perry wasn't immediately available for comment. Trudeau announced his resignation earlier this year after nearly a decade in power. His father, late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was a bachelor when he became prime minister. He dated actresses Barbra Streisand and Kim Cattrall and married a 22-year-old woman while in office at age 51. Born and raised in California, Perry is a 13-time Grammy Award nominee. She helped usher in the sound of '00s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems. She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010's sugar-sweet 'Teenage Dream.' The album produced five No. 1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album 'Bad.'

Newly single Katy Perry enjoys intimate dinner with former Canadian Prime Minister during world tour break
Katy Perry said goodbye, Orlando, and hello, Canada. Perry, 40, was spotted enjoying some time with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in new footage obtained by TMZ. The "Teenage Dream" singer and politician were seen dining together Monday at Le Violon in Montreal, Canada. An eyewitness told the outlet that the pair enjoyed cocktails and shared several dishes together, including one with lobster. Security guards reportedly watched the duo while they dined, and after dinner, they allegedly walked into the kitchen to thank the staff for their meal. The dinner date comes amid a break in Perry's world tour and her recent split from actor Orlando Bloom. Trudeau and his ex-wife Sophie separated in 2023 after an 18-year marriage. Perry and her former fiancé confirmed their break-up earlier this month after more than a decade together. "Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting," representatives confirmed to Us Weekly. "They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect." The former couple share daughter Daisy Dove, 5. Bloom and Perry previously ended their relationship, but reconnected in 2016. The "Firework" singer opened up about why they needed time apart in an interview with People magazine. "It's really about an individual journey that makes the whole thing better" she said. "We both had to decide to go on that journey separately because it's not my half and your half that makes a whole. It's my wholeness and your wholeness that makes this whole thing happen." While promoting her new album at the time, she admitted that they had been through "hell" to save their relationship. "For us, and you can hear that even in 'Champagne Problems,' which is a song on the record, you can hear that we're not flaunting how in love we are," she said, according to Us Weekly. "We have been through f--king hell. We have been down to the mat and come back up again so far, and that's even what the song 'Witness' was about: 'If I lost it all today, would you stay? Could you go down with me to the mat and come back up?'"
