Pop icon Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have once again set social media abuzz. The duo, who have been surrounded by dating rumours for months, were spotted sharing romantic moments during a yacht trip in Santa Barbara, California — and this time, the pictures seem to confirm what fans have long suspected.
New viral pictures show a shirtless Justin Trudeau kissing Katy Perry, who is seen in a stylish black swimsuit. The pair looked relaxed and affectionate, exchanging smiles and embraces while enjoying the California sun. In one of the pictures, Trudeau can be seen planting a sweet kiss on Perry’s cheek — a moment that has fueled speculation that the two are officially dating.
While earlier reports suggested the two had drifted apart due to media pressure after their first public outing, the recent visuals tell a different story. The couple appeared happy and comfortable in each other’s company, dismissing rumours of a split.
A source 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 realise who she was with until I saw the tattoo on the guy’s arm, and I immediately realised it was Justin Trudeau.”
The romance rumours between Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau first started in July 2025, when they were seen having dinner together in Montreal. A few weeks later, Trudeau was spotted attending Perry’s ‘Lifetimes’ tour in Canada, further fueling speculation.
Since then, fans and media outlets have kept a close eye on the duo, as both had recently gone through high-profile breakups. Their growing closeness during Perry’s tour and Trudeau’s occasional presence at her performances gave rise to whispers of a new celebrity-political power couple in the making.
Earlier in June 2025, Katy Perry confirmed her separation from Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom, ending their seven-year-long relationship, which included six years of engagement. The couple shares a daughter, Daisy Dove, born in August 2020, and continue to co-parent her amicably.
Despite the breakup, Perry has maintained a positive outlook, focusing on her music and personal happiness. Friends close to the pop star say she has found “stability and joy” in her growing bond with Trudeau.
Justin Trudeau, 53, separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in August 2023, ending their 18-year marriage. They share three children — Xavier (17), Ella-Grace (16), and Hadrien (11).
Post-divorce, Trudeau has kept his personal life largely private. However, his outings with Katy Perry mark the first time he has been romantically linked with someone since the separation.
The pairing of a world-famous singer and a former political leader has caught the world’s attention. Fans are divided — some find the relationship surprising yet refreshing, while others are skeptical about the seriousness of their bond.
Regardless of opinions, one thing is clear — Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s chemistry is undeniable. With their affectionate pictures going viral, the world now awaits whether the couple will make their romance official.
