Pop star Katy Perry has been making headlines for her romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Days after a picture of the duo getting cosy on a yacht went viral, they have seemingly made their relationship official. On Katy’s 41st birthday on Saturday, the couple made their first-ever public appearance, celebrating the day in Paris.

According to a report by TMZ, Katy and Justin attended a cabaret show at Crazy Horse Paris. The couple walked out of the venue smiling at the paparazzi waiting for them. They were seen walking hand-in-hand. Being a gentleman, Justin escorted Katy to her car and got her settled before joining her. While Katy was dressed in a red dress for the evening, Justin looked sharp in a black suit.

The couple’s public appearance comes days after they made headlines with a viral picture of their cosy moment on a luxurious yacht in Santa Barbara, California. In the sizzling images, Katy stunned in a sleek black swimsuit, while the former Canadian Prime Minister went shirtless in denim jeans as they soaked up the sun and enjoyed an intimate moment.

Reacting to the photos, a witness reportedly told The Daily Mail, “She pulled up her boat next to a small public whale-watching boat, then they started making out. I didn’t realize who she was with until I saw the tattoo on the guy’s arm, and I immediately realized it was Justin Trudeau.”

Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry dating rumours

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s recent appearance comes after months of speculation about their relationship. The rumours first started in July when the two were spotted on a dinner date in Montreal. Justin also attended Perry’s concert during her Canadian tour. Reports back then suggested that their romance had fizzled due to their busy schedules and media scrutiny, which made Trudeau “uncomfortable.”

Notably, both Perry and Trudeau have recently ended their long-term relationships. The Grammy Award-winning singer separated from actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares a five-year-old daughter, in June 2025. Trudeau parted ways with his wife, Sophie Grégoire, in 2023 after 18 years of marriage. They share three children — Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien.
