Katy Perry appears to have addressed her speculated romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau following the release of photos showing the two in a warm embrace on a yacht.
The pop star, known for her hit ‘California Gurls’, was seen with Trudeau, aged 53, aboard a vessel reportedly owned by her. A bystander claimed to witness them “making out.”
These private images, initially reported by the Daily Mail on October 12, were said to be taken while the two were navigating the waters of the Santa Barbara Channel in California on September 29.
This follows an earlier sighting of Perry and Trudeau dining together at Le Violon Montreal, shortly after the singer ended her engagement with actor Orlando Bloom, who is 48 years old.
Perry and Bloom, although separated, continue to co-parent their five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom.
Trudeau, who parted ways with his wife of 18 years, Sophie Grégoire, in 2023, gained attention online when footage emerged of him at Perry’s ‘Firework’ concert in Montreal.
Though they have not officially commented on the speculation, Perry might have hinted at the rumored relationship during her ‘Lifetimes’ tour performance in London.
The Sun reported that during this concert in the UK, she remarked: “London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night after a whole day at work and a whole day at school?
“No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time… but not anymore.”
Later in the performance, Perry humorously declined a fan’s marriage proposal, as highlighted by the outlet.
Upon receiving the proposal, she chuckled and said: “I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago.”
Allegedly, Perry and Trudeau initially crossed paths ‘at an event’, and they began to acquaint themselves more closely while she was in Montreal for her ‘Lifetimes’ tour.
A source informed People that Trudeau has been ‘pursuing her since’, mentioning they share an ‘easy connection’.
“He even flew to California to see her during a tour break. They have an easy connection. She finds him attractive. He’s been very respectful,” they noted.
According to another source who spoke with People, while Perry and Trudeau are reportedly ‘interested in each other’, it might take time to understand the direction of their relationship.
“She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer Prime Minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common.”
