Justin Trudeau’s time as a KatyCat might be coming to an end. The former Canadian prime minister was recently linked to pop superstar Katy Perry after an intimate dinner date and a public appearance at her Montreal concert. Trudeau looked besotted as he sang along to her hit “Firework” during the Lifetimes tour stop. The rumored relationship sparked headlines worldwide. However, sources now say that the romance has cooled, with both stars choosing to focus on their busy lives.
The Spark That Started It
Rumors began last month when Trudeau and Perry were spotted on a dinner date. Paparazzi photos quickly circulated, fueling speculation of a new celebrity-political romance. Trudeau then attended Perry’s Montreal concert, where fans noticed his enthusiasm and affection for the pop icon. For a moment, it appeared that the two could be moving toward something serious.

Why the Rumors Fizzled
According to sources who spoke with the Daily Mail on Monday, the spark did not last long. “She’s busy, he’s busy … They have a lot going on, and the newness has worn off,” one person revealed. The source stressed that there was no negativity in the split. The two simply stopped constant communication. “That could change, but for now, it is what it is. It has cooled off,” the insider explained.
Trudeau and the Spotlight
Despite his years in public life, Trudeau reportedly was not prepared for the tabloid storm that followed their first date. The source explained, “It was a first date. A first date! And these pictures came out and it became this huge thing, which is not what he seems to have wanted.” The intense speculation, combined with Perry’s recent separation, placed extra pressure on a bond that was still fragile.
Perry’s Own Journey
Another insider pointed out that Perry is not ready to start dating anyone right now. The singer continues to focus on healing from her separation from actor Orlando Bloom. The source clarified, “She has to continue to focus on her healing from separating from Orlando.” For Perry, stepping back from a new romance allows her the space to move forward at her own pace.

What Lies Ahead
For now, the Justin Trudeau Katy Perry relationship remains on pause. The two remain in separate worlds, each with packed schedules and personal priorities. Whether their paths cross again romantically is uncertain. As one source put it, “It has cooled off.” Perry, however, may still find her spark elsewhere — maybe even with another journey to the Kármán line.
