How is Justin Trudeau's romance with Katy Perry seemingly similar to his mother, Margaret Trudeau's past dating life? Details explored

Justin Trudeau's recent romance with Katy Perry has been compared to his mother, Margaret Trudeau's, past dating life. While many agree that the relationship between the former Canadian Prime Minister and the American singer was highly unexpected, an exclusive from The Sun US calls it a "chip off the old block."

The reason why the mother and son's dating life is being compared to one another is because she was married to the 15th prime minister of Canada, Pierre Trudeau. However, over the years, she left him and was associated with the Rolling Stones, and a few Hollywood actors, including Ryan O'Neal and Jack Nicholson. The Sun US also reported that she was extremely attracted to the late President JFK's brother, Ted Kennedy.

A biography about Justin Trudeau called The Prince also revealed that his mother was involved with Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood while married to Pierre Trudeau. It talked in detail about how she was at club El Mocambo on her 6th wedding anniversary, with members of the Rolling Stones.

What made Justin Trudeau's relationship with Katy Perry similar to his mother's past love life?

Justin Trudeau's relationship with the pop singer is compared to his mother's past dating life due to certain patterns. According to an exclusive source from The Sun US, the insider said:

"Justin has always been thought of as a bit of a mummy's boy. They both like to shake things up and live life on the edge... As Prime Minister, he has had to toe the line for years with his clean-cut, family-man image... But it began to fall apart in 2023 when he split with his wife Sophie, mother of his three children."

They continued by saying:

"Then he resigned as Prime Minister earlier this year — and, within months, his love life is making headlines... But then, being photographed on a yacht with a famous pop star is exactly the sort of thing his mother would have done back in the day."

Did Justin Trudeau's mother, Margaret Trudeau, date Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones?

For years, it was believed that Margaret Trudeau was linked to the founder and lead singer of the Rolling Stones. However, in a 2007 eponymous biography by Ronnie Wood, he revealed that it was he and Margaret who were romantically linked.

In his book, he wrote:

"From the moment I met her, we spent as much time together as possible... We both knew it was something that couldn't have a future, but we shared something special for that short time."

Margaret also expressed her thoughts about her association with the Rolling Stones in her 1979 memoir, Beyond Reason. She wrote:

"In the eyes of the world, my weekend with the Rolling Stones was the freedom trip to end all freedom trips... No one but Pierre knew I had already left him for a temporary separation... To the rest of Canada, to the journalists and newspapers of the world, my escapade was yet another example of what a wicked wife I had become, flaunting my infidelities in Pierre's face."

Margaret and Pierre Trudeau had a 29-year age difference between them. She was 22 years old when she married Pierre, and many believed at the time that the marriage would not last.

Margaret was a free spirit and soon felt trapped in the marriage. She said:

"From the day I became Mrs Pierre Elliott Trudeau, it was like a glass panel was gently lowered into place around me — like a patient in a mental hospital who is no longer considered able to make decisions and who cannot be exposed to a harsh light."

The couple divorced in 1984 after 13 years of marriage, and remarried later on. When Pierre Trudeau passed away in 2000, it was reported that she was by his bedside.

Justin Trudeau's rumored romance with Katy Perry has drawn parallels to his mother Margaret's bold and free-spirited dating history. Much like her, Justin Trudeau seems to be embracing life beyond politics, making headlines for his unexpected relationship choices.
