Katy Perry has officially confirmed her romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by sharing a series of intimate photos and videos on Instagram. The announcement came on a Saturday as the couple enjoyed a getaway in Japan. “Tokyo times on tour and more,” the 41-year-old pop star captioned the posts, which feature moments from their trip.
In one of the shared images, Trudeau, aged 53, can be seen taking a selfie with Perry against a backdrop of vibrant foliage. Another clip captures the pair at a restaurant, where they appear to be enjoying a cozy dinner date. Perry can be seen trying sushi while Trudeau gazes at her affectionately, his arm wrapped around her chair.
Public Appearance with Japanese Leaders
The couple’s relationship gained further attention earlier this week when they met with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife for lunch. Kishida shared a photo from their meeting on social media, referring to Perry as Trudeau’s “partner.”
“Former Canadian Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau visited Japan with his partner and joined my wife and me for lunch,” Kishida posted. He also reflected on his past collaborations with Trudeau, emphasizing their shared commitment to strengthening bilateral relations through initiatives like the “Japan-Canada Action Plan.”
Trudeau reciprocated the sentiment, thanking Kishida for the friendship and reaffirming the importance of international cooperation. He tweeted, “Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko. Thank you, Fumio, for your friendship and your continued commitment to both the international rules-based order and to a better future for everyone.”
Timeline of Their Relationship
Rumors about Perry and Trudeau began circulating in July 2025 after they were spotted on a dinner date in Montreal during one of Perry’s tour stops. Subsequent sightings included a viral photo that allegedly captured the couple sharing a kiss on a yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. Their relationship appeared to deepen during a trip to Paris in October, where the two were seen walking hand-in-hand while celebrating Perry’s 41st birthday.
Both Perry and Trudeau have experienced significant personal changes in recent years. Perry separated from actor Orlando Bloom earlier in 2025. Meanwhile, Trudeau announced his split from Sophie Grégoire in 2023 after 18 years of marriage. The former couple shares three children. Perry was previously married to actor Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012.
As Perry and Trudeau navigate their new relationship, their public displays of affection suggest a budding partnership that combines both personal and public interests. With their recent trip to Japan and interactions with world leaders, the couple seems poised to blend their lives both personally and professionally.
