Is Justin Trudeau following in his father Pierre’s footsteps with Katy Perry dating rumors? 

The rumor mills have spun since Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were spotted spending time together. Fans and media have been left wondering whether Justin Trudeau, 53, was taking a page from his father’s book by dating a singer, Perry, 40, who is significantly younger.

Pierre Trudeau, Canada’s Prime Minister in the late 1960s, was romantically involved with Barbra Streisand. Pierre was 50 and Streisand was 27 at the time. On July 3, 2025, Katy Perry announced that she and her longtime partner Orlando Bloom had broken off their engagement.

The Wide Awake singer’s statement revealed that Perry and Bloom had been focused on co-parenting above all else for some time now:

"Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting."

More details on rumored relationship between Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau

Katy Perry was first spotted with Canada’s former Prime Minister on July 28, 2025, at Le Violon, a neighborhood restaurant in the Le Plateau region of Montreal. A representative for the restaurant revealed to People that “Katy and Justin seemed to have had a fantastic evening," adding that they met the restaurant’s chef and thanked him personally after the meal.

The representative added:

"They were super kind and friendly to the staff, and it was an absolute pleasure to have them at the restaurant."

A source for Newsweek revealed that the duo didn’t show any signs of PDA or anything to suggest a romantic connection. The inside source also added that the couple had been in the restaurant for about two hours and had kept a low profile. No staff or fellow diner approached them for photos.

According to Elle, the couple took a walk in Mount Royal Park, and after having dinner at Le Violon, they had drinks together on the Taverne Atlantic terrace.

Trudeau and his wife announced in 2023 that they were separating after 18 years of marriage. It hasn’t been revealed if the couple has finalized their divorce.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau further ignited the dating rumors when the latter attended Perry’s Lifetimes Tour concert in Montreal. Fans spotted the former prime minister in the crowd watching Perry perform with his 16-year-old daughter, Ella-Grace, by his side.
