Katy Perry has sparked rumors that she is dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The two were seen Monday night at upscale French restaurant Le Violon, where, according to TMZ, they enjoyed a luxurious seafood spread — including lobster — while sipping cocktails and chatting closely across the table.
In footage obtained by the outlet, Perry, 40, was seen leaning in toward Trudeau, 53, and brushing her hair as the pair exchanged conversation.
Witnesses claimed both had discreet security teams present, with guards reportedly monitoring the dinner through a strategically placed mirror above the bar.
The dinner, while unconfirmed as romantic or platonic, has ignited plenty of speculation. “Perry was seen smiling in the video footage,” TMZ reported, adding that the two seemed relaxed and engaged throughout the meal.
Neither Perry nor Trudeau has publicly addressed the nature of the outing.
Perry, who’s currently on tour in Canada, performed in Ottawa the night after the dinner and has upcoming shows in Montreal, Quebec, and Toronto, per the Telegraph.
It’s not known whether Trudeau, who stepped down as prime minister earlier this year, plans to attend any of her concerts.
The meet-up comes shortly after both stars finalized very public breakups.
Perry and longtime partner Orlando Bloom officially split in early July, following months of speculation. “Representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting,” read a joint statement.
“They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.”
The pair began dating in 2016 after hitting it off at a Golden Globes afterparty, welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove in 2020, and got engaged in 2019.
They briefly broke up in 2017, citing the need for “respectful but loving space.” Bloom also shares a son, Flynn, with ex-wife and model Miranda Kerr.
Trudeau, meanwhile, revealed in August 2023 that he and his wife of 18 years, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, were ending their marriage.
The former model and TV host shares three children with Trudeau: Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien.
Their separation made headlines, not only for the high-profile split but also because it marked the second time a sitting Canadian prime minister announced a marital separation — his father, Pierre Trudeau, separated from Margaret Trudeau in 1977 while in office.
Perry’s personal life has drawn added attention lately due to her participation in Jeff Bezos’s all-female Blue Origin space flight.
The 11-minute trip included fellow passengers Lauren Sanchez, Gayle King, Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe, and Kerianne Flynn.
Perry serenaded the crew mid-flight, but the mission drew mixed reactions online. Critics slammed the venture as a “publicity stunt,” questioning its environmental impact and feminist framing.
The fallout from that backlash — along with lukewarm reviews of her latest album, 143 — has been cited by sources as one of several factors that may have contributed to her and Bloom’s breakup, though neither party has spoken publicly on the reasons behind the split. A source told Elle the separation was “amicable.”
Bloom was recently seen attending Bezos and Sanchez’s high-profile wedding in Venice, where tabloids closely followed his interactions with female guests.
