About six months after her hard launch into space, Katy Perry has soft-launched her new relationship with Justin Trudeau on Instagram. Although the couple already made their first public appearance together holding hands in Paris last weekend, Perry didn’t post Trudeau on her social media until an October 28 Instagram carousel post celebrating her 41st birthday with the caption “Level 41 🫦♥️.” This pairing is still relatively new — Perry and Trudeau were first seen together in July, a few weeks after Perry and Orlando Bloom confirmed their split — which is perhaps why the former prime minister of Canada didn’t get prime placement in the 12-slide post. In fact, if you blink, you might miss that he’s in the eighth slide at all: Trudeau makes a cameo for about a second in the background of a video in which Perry blows out the candles on a cake and then throws it at someone backstage at her Lifetimes Tour. Trudeau has been spotted bopping along at one of her concerts before, so it’s not necessarily surprising that he was with her backstage. We’re more curious about whether he joined any of the people who started eating the cake off the floor.
Judging by tabloid reports, the couple seems to be hoping they’ll spend many more birthdays together. A source recently told “Page Six” that Trudeau thinks Perry is the “perfect woman” and is “simpatico” with her on “everything including politics, kids, and French food.” Meanwhile, Perry has consulted a “claircognizance psychic” to help her navigate her love life with Trudeau, the Daily Mail reported on October 31. Hopefully it’s more effective than the “spell” she once cast on her ex-fiancé?
