Inside Justin Trudeau's divorce makeover as he swaps ties for tank tops and is seen on 'date' with Katy Perry
He's swapped tailored suits for tight tees, Parliament Hill for Swiss peaks - and a buttoned-up marriage for adrenaline-fueled bonding trips with his sons and a cozy dinner with Katy Perry. Nearly a year after splitting from wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, the former Canadian Prime Minister has debuted a full-blown divorce glow-up: trading suits for sleeveless tees, diplomatic meetings for mountaineering, and family portraits for alpine selfies. In his latest Instagram post that Trudeau, 53, shared a day after he was seen out with the popstar, the loving dad posed atop a snowy slope in Zermatt, Switzerland with 17-year-old son Xavier, ice axes in hand and mountaineering rope tied between them. 'More melted cheese than anyone should safely eat,' he joked, capturing the bro-y, dad-on-the-loose energy that's defined his recent feed. And before that he was seen on a sun-drenched Canadian road trip with his youngest son Hadrien, 9, that included rock climbing, hiking, and even a kiss from a sea lion. One July snap showed the trio at a climbing gym, Trudeau in a black tank top, looking more Coachella than campaign trail. Fans have been spamming his latest Instagram post with cheeky Katy Perry GIFs - one of her seductively holding a watermelon slice, another of her in a candy-colored wig licking an ice cream cone. Trudeau and Perry were spotted having dinner in Montreal on Monday, leaning in close at Le Violon restaurant before heading to Taverne Atlantic for terrace drinks. Trudeau ditches the suit for a sleeveless tank as he poses with sons Xavier and Hadrien at a climbing gym during their Canadian road trip Trudeau and youngest son Hadrien, 9, hike and climb on a cross-British Columbia adventure Perry, 40, is currently on tour in Canada after her recent split from fiancé Orlando Bloom - and her sighting with Trudeau has sent social media into overdrive with people speculating they are dating. 'Both reminiscing their peaks in 2015,' one user joked. 'Did not have that one on my celebrity hookup bingo card,' wrote another. It's been a rocky stretch for the pop star: a flop album (143), backlash over her cringy Blue Origin space flight, and a very public breakup from Bloom, who was last seen solo at Jeff Bezos' wedding in Venice. Perry, who was in Australia at the time of the wedding, was later seen breaking down in tears on stage. Meanwhile, Trudeau has been navigating his own exit from power. After eight years as Prime Minister, he stepped down in January amid plummeting popularity, a crumbling Liberal party, and a trade crisis with Trump 2.0. His replacement, Mike Carney, was sworn in this March. Representatives for both Trudeau and Perry have declined to comment on the dating rumors. Since stepping down, Justin Trudeau has embraced dad life and has been spending quality time with his kids Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party - and his intent to step down as Prime Minister - on January 6, 2025 Katy Perry was giving 'flirty' cues to a 'flattered' Justin Trudeau on the pair's unlikely 'date' in Canada this week - just a short time after her split from Orlando Bloom A source has told the Daily Mail that those close to the singer do not believe their rendezvous was anything serious. They explained that Perry 'usually wears her heart on her sleeve' so if a new romance was brewing, her pals would have heard about it. 'As of right now, Katy and Justin are treating their get together as just that, a get together,' our insider said. 'She hasn't told anyone it was anything more, and she usually wears her heart on her sleeve, so if something were happening, she'd let her close friends know. But right now it is nothing more than friendship.' A second insider reiterated that Perry and Trudeau's meetup was 'just a hangout' and not something romantic... yet. 'They met at an event and they have had some good conversations,' they said. 'They text each other, it seems to be very friendly and nothing more at the moment. However this hasn't stopped social media going into meltdown over the duo's meeting. One person posted: 'That's the most random couple I can imagine getting together in 2025.' Trudeau has been showing off a more casual look in recent weeks as he posts photos to Instagram showing him with his sons Perry confirmed her separation from actor fiancé Orlando Bloom in June, while Trudeau and wife Sophie announced they were parting ways after 18-years of marriage in 2023 Another said: 'Imagine the stimulating conversation these two geniuses must be having.' While a third added: 'You could have given me a million guesses as to who his new girlfriend was and it would never have been Katy Perry lol.' Another quipped about Perry's panned Blue Origin mission: 'Good for her. After all she's been through, the trials and tribulations of being an astronaut while trying to be a single mom, she deserves to be happy.' And another concluded: 'They are both insufferable, might just work out for them.'

Justin Trudeau's rapper son moans in astonishingly entitled way as he sets out to prove he's NOT a nepo baby
Justin Trudeau 's 17 year-old rapper son says it was 'unfulfilling' to live in a taxpayer-funded mansion, have bodyguards and meet countless A-List stars. Xavier Trudeau has embarked on a journey to become an R&B artist and spoken about his famous father to promote his music - while insisting he's not a nepo baby. Days after releasing his third single, titled Back Me Up, the teen hopped in a car with food review influencer G Hobs to discuss his childhood growing up as the prime minister's eldest son. Although he admitted there were perks: security (which he still has), living in Rideau Cottage with his two siblings and his mother, and meeting 'any A-list celebrity you can think of,' it wasn't everything to the teen, he told Hobs in a video. 'It's not [normal], but you know what it is, it's different,' he told the influencer. 'It was always a good feeling until I got a little older. This is part of why I'm actually starting to do this stuff, because it always felt super good to be in these places, security around me, private escort, it was always a sick feeling. 'But inside, I was like I don't feel fulfilled. Like this isn't me.' Xavier explained that the lack of fulfillment came from knowing that all the gilded trappings of his amazing life were due to his father and that he had not earned them himself. But as the teen nears his 18th birthday, he said he wanted to 'create an identity for myself.' 'I want to be Xav, I don't want to be Justin Trudeau's son,' he told Hobs. 'I don't want to be doing all these cool things because of my dad, I want to do it because of me.' In his debut song, titled Til The Nights Done, he even addressed this a little as he sings: 'What you know about me / I ain't like him.' In his most recent single, he appeared to discuss his strange lifestyle and the discretion used around high-profile people and families. He sings: 'I'm not just anybody, where I'm from / Keep it discreet, I keep it (Shh) / They won't even let me go out alone.' Xavier released the songs under his own label, Pathway Music Group, and the label's co-founder Joey Boyer said the teen has a new take on R&B music. 'His "vibe" is dark ambient R&B with a hint of ballads,' Boyer told The National Post. 'Everything you will hear from Xav is 100 percent original and made specifically to curate to Xav's ideas.' His father, Justin, announced his resignation on January 6 after nearly a decade in power, bowing to rising discontent over his leadership and growing turmoil within his government. Although the nepo baby did admit he realized the life he lived while his dad served in the top position from 2015 to 2025 wasn't built by him and it came from his father's success. So, he now wants to forge his own identity (pictured: Trudeau family in September 2021) Justin came to power in 2015 after 10 years of Conservative Party rule and was initially hailed for returning the country to its liberal past. But the 53-year-old scion of one of Canada's most famous prime ministers became deeply unpopular with voters in recent years over a range of issues, including the soaring cost of food and housing, and surging immigration. Xavier is the son of Sophie Gregoire Trudeau and Justin, who also share Ella-Grace Margaret and Hadrien Trudeau. Sophie and Justin separated after 18 years of marriage in August 2023. Xavier comes from a long line of politicians as his grandfather Pierre Trudeau was also a prime minister for the North American country from 1968 to 1979.

Why we should be kinder about Xavier Trudeau's new single
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's eldest son, Xavier Trudeau, briefly stepped out of his family's shadow on Friday when he released his debut single. Titled Til The Nights Done, the R&B song was released under the artist name Xav on music streaming platforms. While many were quick to jump in the comment section and share their critiques of the track, Toronto Star culture reporter Richie Assaly argued the (albeit bland) track offered a reprieve from an otherwise chaotic state of the world. Today on Commotion, Assaly tells host Elamin Abdelmahmoud why he welcomes Xavier Trudeau's foray into the music industry. WATCH | Today's episode on YouTube (this segment begins at 14:43):
