International pop sensation Katy Perry’s rumoured romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has reignited, and this time, it’s steamier! The duo, who were allegedly broken up and enjoying a ‘cooling off’ period, were recently spotted sharing a steamy kiss aboard the singer’s yacht as they sailed off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. Their loved-up PDA moments that have surfaced are enough to keep the rumour mills running for quite a while.
After months of speculation about their growing closeness, from public outings and lunch dates to Trudeau singing his heart out at Perry’s concert. And now, after murmurs of a break-up, their most recent appearance confirms that the romance is heating up. Here’s a closer look at their relationship timeline.
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau were spotted embracing and sharing a steamy kiss at a yacht
Recently, The Daily Mail shared some photos of the 40-year-old Fireworks hitmaker embracing the 53-year-old politician as they soaked up the sun on Perry’s 24-metre yacht, the Caravelle. Perry was seen in a black one-piece swimsuit, while Trudeau went shirtless in denim jeans. In one of the photos that has since gone viral, Trudeau was seen cradling Perry’s waist and nuzzling her cheek as the latter embraced him.
After months of dating buzz, the steamy moment has taken the internet by storm. While the face of the guy was unclear in the photos, the distinctive ‘Haida raven’ tattoo on his arm confirmed that it was indeed Trudeau. An eyewitness told the outlet:
“She pulled up her boat next to a small public whale-watching boat, then they started making out. I didn’t realise who she was with until I saw the tattoo on the guy’s arm, and I immediately realised it was Justin Trudeau.”
How their rumoured relationship began after heartbreak
While the exact details about Perry and Trudeau’s dating life remain under wraps, the duo first sparked dating buzz in July 2025. The two were spotted enjoying each other’s company at an intimate dinner at Montreal’s Le Violon restaurant during Perry’s Lifetimes world tour. According to witness accounts, their energy was warm and flirtatious as the two often leaned in close and shared quiet laughs.
Not long after their dinner date, the former PM was seen attending Perry’s concert in Canada, reportedly dancing and singing his heart out with his daughter, Ella-Grace. Fans present at the event recorded snippets of Trudeau smiling from the stands, his eyes focused on Perry as she performed. The pair were also photographed walking together through Mount Royal Park.
Perry and Trudeau’s break-up rumours quashed after their recent PDA moments
Around September 2025, rumours were floating around that Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau had broken up, with insiders suggesting the relationship had ‘cooled off’ by August. A report by The Daily Mail revealed that they had lost communication, perhaps temporarily, given the Unconditionally singer and the politician’s hectic schedules.
While neither Perry nor Trudeau has publicly commented on the romance, sources say the two are “still speaking and very interested in each other”. According to an insider’s report to the outlet:
“Katy is very, very interested in him. She says he’s a real catch — a high-quality guy. They aren’t always in the same city, but if anyone can handle a long-distance relationship, it’s them.”
The singer has allegedly worked things out with Justin Trudeau to avoid media and public attention. And now, their yacht sighting suggests that the connection is far from over.
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s fresh starts
Those who have been keeping tabs on their personal lives might already know that both Perry and Trudeau have freshly come out of long-term relationships. The Canadian leader officially ended his 18-year marriage with his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, in August 2023. They share three children: Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien.
Meanwhile, Katy Perry ended her nearly decade-long relationship with her ex-fiancé, The Lord of the Rings actor Orlando Bloom, earlier this year. The pair share a daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, and have committed to co-parenting. According to the representatives’ statement, the duo opted for separation months ago, and their main aim from now on will be to raise their daughter with love.
After the yacht photos went public, social media erupted with reactions, with fans dubbing the pair a “surprising yet iconic match”. What are your thoughts on this blooming California-meets-Canada love story?
