Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau dating rumours were not on my 2025 bingo card, but then again, neither was the pop star’s sudden split from Orlando Bloom.
And yet, less than a month after Perry and Bloom confirmed the end of their nine-year relationship in June, the 40-year-old singer was spotted out with the 53-year-old Canadian politician. Neither Perry nor Trudeau has responded to the speculation, which continued after the former prime minister of Canada was spotted at the Grammy winner’s Lifetimes Tour concert in Montreal, though Bloom seemed to find some humour in all the discourse.
Now it seems the summer romance rumours are extending into the autumn/winter season. Here’s a complete timeline of the Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau relationship rumours.
October 25, 2025: Perry and Trudeau smile for paparazzi as they arrive at Crazy Horse Paris to celebrate Perry’s birthday hand-in-hand. For her part, Perry was dressed in a red body-con and mesh pumps. You can see the photos here, as well as video of their exit here.
“Ok they look goooooooood together,” one fan comments on DeuxMoi’s Instagram post about the hard-launch, while another joked, “I don’t like this, but it’s actually perfect.”
11 October 2025: Oh, you thought those Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau dating rumours fizzled out? Well, they’re back in full force now that the pair have been spotted canoodling on a yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. In a series of blurry photos shared by the Daily Mail, the pair were seen embracing on the top deck of the boat.
While the outing reportedly occurred in September, the photos weren’t shared until mid-October.
2 August 2025: Orlando Bloom is able to find humour in the rumours, based on his response to The Onion’s satirical post, “Orlando Bloom Spotted at Dinner With Angela Merkel.” Bloom responded to the post with a series of clapping emojis, per the Instagram account @commentsbycelebs.
The Onion further poked fun at the recent dating rumours with the following Instagram caption:
Meanwhile, a source told People that Perry and Trudeau’s “romance” is in its “early stages.”
“Justin is a [politician] who is used to living a secret life with his personal activity, and wouldn’t put on a public display at this stage,” the source says. “He knows they were being watched and is smart enough to play it low-key for now.”
Another source claims “they are interested in each other” but taking things slow. “She is travelling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction,” the source says. “They have a lot in common.”
