This is not the first time Perry has shared glimpses into her life with Trudeau online. Over the Christmas holidays, she posted a picture of the two hanging out by a lake at sunset and previously shared videos of the pair trying sushi in Japan and selfies of them making silly faces.<\/p>\n

The pop superstar and the former Canadian prime minister made their romance public for the first time in October 2025, leaving Crazy Horse Paris hand in hand after rumours began to swirl in July when the pair were spotted enjoying a meal together<\/a>\u00a0at upscale eatery Le Violon in Montreal\u2019s Le Plateau neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

Perry and Trudeau were first seen in public almost two years after Trudeau and his ex-wife, Sophie Gr\u00e9goire Trudeau,\u00a0split,<\/a> and about a month after Perry announced that she and actor Orlando Bloom had\u00a0called off their engagement<\/a>\u00a0after almost a decade together.<\/p>\n
