Pop star Katy Perry was seen with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau having dinner together in Montreal, sparking a wave of speculation on the internet. With both out of long-term relationships, their recent outing has captured the attention of the public.
Upon seeing the unlikely duo, a user commented on X:
"Wait… isn’t he married?"
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau's night out in Montreal
According to TMZ, the duo were spotted on Monday night and had enjoyed their dinner, which consisted of drinks, multiple dishes, and even a lobster dish. That is not all; according to multiple eyewitnesses, the couple seemed to be engrossed in their conversations, where Perry leaned across the table to speak more closely with Trudeau.
Security personnel maintained a low profile at the restaurant as they looked over through mirrored glasses while sitting at the bar. Another source stated that the chef himself welcomed them, and Katy Perry, along with Justin Trudeau, entered the kitchen to thank the staff for their dinner.
Their meeting comes after both of them had a breakup from major relationships. Katy Perry announced her breakup from actor Orlando Bloom earlier this month after being engaged for almost a decade. They also share a daughter, Daisy Dove. The couple issued a joint statement following their breakup and are co-parenting.
According to TMZ, a source mentioned that the couple has been having some rough patches over the last few months, mainly because of their hectic careers and clashing schedules. The source stated:
“They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.”
Trudeau has also had tremendous changes in his life, both in his career and personal life. He and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, announced their separation after 18 years of marriage in August 2023. They have three children together, and earlier this year, Trudeau stepped down as Prime Minister and the leader of the Liberal Party on January 6, 2025.
The internet reacts to the outing
Katy Perry is currently in Canada for her North American tour in promotion of her 2024 album, 143, which is a follow-up to her 2020 album, Smile. She will be performing in Montreal's Centre Bell on Wednesday, then in Ottawa, Quebec City, and Toronto.
While Trudeau hasn't made many public appearances since he stepped down from his duties. This dinner meeting with Katy Perry has the internet on its feet.
When TMZ released footage of the surprise couple, social media users responded with comments ranging from confusion to pure entertainment. One person raised their eyebrows and commented:
"Wait… isn’t he married?"
More users chimed in with another user noting how quickly Perry moved on from Orlando Bloom:
"She moves on QUICK"
While another user shared their shock and amusement:
"I ain’t even know they existed in the same dimension!"
Another user saw the dinner date as an upgrade in Trudeau's dating life.
"The level up is insane."
While a user compared the duo's surprise link-up to another unlikely celebrity couple of Billionaire and X-boss Musk and singer Grimes:
"This might be the most random link up since Grimes and Elon Musk."
It remains to be seen if the meeting was just a dinner between friends or the beginning of something new.
