Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and pop superstar Katy Perry are quietly nurturing their new romance, with a source close to the pair revealing that Trudeau is making a significant effort to maintain their connection despite demanding schedules.
A Budding Romance Away from the Spotlight
The relationship between Canada's former prime minister and the Firework singer became public knowledge in July 2025. Their connection deepened over the following months, culminating in a public appearance in October where they made their relationship official. The couple was photographed leaving the renowned Crazy Horse Paris cabaret show, where they celebrated Perry's 41st birthday.
While they have predominantly kept their relationship out of the public eye, an insider confirmed to People magazine that the 53-year-old politician and the pop icon are seizing opportunities to be together whenever possible. Justin keeps making a big effort to see her and she's excited about it, the source disclosed, adding that Perry finds him fun to be with.
Navigating New Relationships and Past Commitments
The new couple's relationship unfolds as both navigate their recent separations. Katy Perry split from actor Orlando Bloom in July 2025 after nine years together. The former couple co-parent their five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, and have maintained an amicable relationship. Bloom appeared on the Today show in September, stating that he and Perry are great and that there is nothing but love between them.
On the other side, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau has also spoken about her separation from the former prime minister, which was announced in 2023. She has admitted that seeing reports about her ex-husband's new relationship can feel like noise that is hard to hear. However, she has shown remarkable grace, commending Trudeau for being a father with deep love and availability to his children and emphasizing their successful co-parenting partnership.
A Strong and Unexpected Connection
According to the People magazine source, the bond between Trudeau and Perry is both strong and unexpected. They make time for each other and have a really strong connection, the insider revealed. The source added that Katy didn't expect to fall for somebody so soon, but Justin checks all the boxes.
Perry is reportedly flattered by the effort Trudeau is putting into their relationship. He's shown that he's committed and really cares about spending time with her, the source noted, concluding that It's exactly what she needs right now. The connection, built on mutual respect, charm, and a good sense of humour, continues to develop as they find moments together between their global commitments.
