Katy Perry has confirmed her relationship with Justin Trudeau, making it Instagram official with a series of intimate photos from their recent trip to Japan. The pop star shared snapshots and videos capturing moments from their time in Tokyo, including sharing meals, exploring interactive art installations, and posing affectionately.
The Instagram post, captioned "tokyo times on tour and more" with a string of emojis, puts an end to months of speculation since the two were first spotted together in Montreal in July 2025. Initial rumors sparked when they were seen dining and walking a dog together in Mount Royal Park. Shortly after, Trudeau was seen attending Perry's Lifetimes Tour concert, further fueling the curiosity of fans.
The sightings intensified in the following months, with paparazzi capturing them embracing on a yacht near Santa Barbara in September and holding hands while leaving a Paris cabaret in October, which also happened to be Perry's birthday. A source revealed that Trudeau had been actively pursuing Perry since their early dates and even flew to California during her tour break. The source also described their connection as "natural and easy," with Perry appreciating Trudeau's respectful and grounded approach.
The Japan trip also included a meeting with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yuko. Kishida shared a photo on X, formerly known as Twitter, with Trudeau and Perry, expressing his pleasure at their visit. Trudeau reshared the post, thanking Kishida for his friendship and stating that he and Perry were glad to have the chance to sit down with them.
Both Perry and Trudeau entered this relationship following significant personal transitions. Perry had separated from actor Orlando Bloom in June 2025, after a nine-year relationship and shares a five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, with Bloom. Trudeau finalized his separation from Sophie Grégoire in 2023 after 18 years of marriage; they have three children.
A source close to Perry told People Magazine that the couple are making plans for the holidays and Perry is looking forward to wrapping her tour, which has been a whirlwind. The same source mentioned that the couple are spending time together when they can and that Perry has a lot of fun with Trudeau, noting that their romance is exactly what she needs right now.
The public reveal of Perry and Trudeau's relationship has generated considerable buzz, with many expressing surprise and interest in this unexpected pairing. This relationship places them among a small list of romances between artists and politicians, similar to Justin's father, Pierre Trudeau, and Barbra Streisand.
