The possible romance between pop star Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made headlines last month. As per reports by TMZ, the two were seen having dinner together in Montreal, and Trudeau later attended Katy Perry’s concert in Canada. Further reports also suggested that the pair had an "instant connection" and a shared interest in music (People).
But as of recently, the reports allege that their spark may have slowed down. Both Katy Perry and Trudeau have busy lives, and the attention around their outing may have made things more difficult. Sources claim their communication has decreased in recent weeks.
Why things may have cooled off?

A report from Page Six published on August 18, 2025, claims that Perry and Trudeau’s communication has dropped in the past two weeks.
As per The Daily Mail, the pair was said to text often, but sources allege that it is no longer the case. The reason given is their busy schedules and the newness of the connection wearing off.
The sources also claimed that Trudeau was not expecting the amount of attention their first date received, and was reportedly bothered by it. A source further elaborated that he was not ready for the level of public interest that followed after the pictures were released. It was only a first date, but it quickly became a big story online and in the media.
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s current status

Another source also claims that the two remain just friends. According to the most recent report by Page Six, Katy Perry is in the process of healing from her split with Orlando Bloom, which was announced in early July. She also shares a four-year-old daughter, Daisy, with Bloom.
Trudeau, who parted ways with his wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023 after 18 years of marriage, is also getting used to life outside the office. He has three children and is trying to figure out his life, now that he does not hold the position of Prime Minister of Canada.
Although according to a previous source reported by People, the pair is attracted to each other and shares common interests, it might take time for things to progress.
