The reported romance between Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry has been quietly developing since their first date in July, sources reveal. The pair have been spotted sharing affectionate moments, including a kiss on Perry’s yacht off Santa Barbara, sparking widespread media interest.

A source close to Perry told People magazine that although Katy wasn’t initially looking to date, she and Trudeau connected over shared interests and stayed in touch. Trudeau has been “pursuing her since,” even traveling to California during a tour break to see her.

Trudeau, 53, divorced in 2023, shares three children with his ex-wife, while Perry, 40, split from actor Orlando Bloom earlier this year. The two seem to share an easy, respectful connection that is slowly blossoming into romance.

Their public sightings include dinners in Montreal and walks, making their relationship one of the most talked-about celebrity-politician romances of 2025.
