In a new snap shared with her 200 million followers, Perry, 41, shared a new Instagram carousel that gave fans a fresh glimpse into her new love life and spotlighted one photo of her looking lovingly at the former prime minister as she slipped her hand inside his black blazer.

“Never knew karma could be so rewarding,” Perry captioned her post, referencing a lyric from her 2013 song Legendary Lovers.
Other photos featured in her slideshow included a vegetable box, a behind-the-scenes video from her recently wrapped Lifetimes Tour, a toy poodle in a hat and more.
Perry’s latest update comes as the pair have increasingly gone public with their new romance, which they officially launched on social media in December.
In another candid snapshot posted last month, Perry and Trudeau poked fun at their “age gap” after plugging in their vitals to the Function Health app, which aims to measure how one’s body is aging biologically in comparison to their actual age.

“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” Perry captioned the photo as she held up a pic that showed her biological age is 33.1 years old, more than eight years younger than her actual age, while Trudeau’s is 43, 11 years younger than his real age.

In February, the two were all smiles when they hit the slopes for a ski vacation as they got an early start on their Valentine’s Day celebrations.
“Let love be the revolution,” the Dark Horse singer captioned the images with the onetime drama teacher.
In one photo, a beaming Trudeau and Perry were pictured wearing helmets and goggles as they appeared on a snow-filled mountaintop. In another black-and-white shot, a perfectly coiffed Trudeau smiled alongside Kerry as they got ready to enjoy dinner.

Perry, who shares 5-year-old daughter Daisy Dove with ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom, also posted a photo displaying instructions on how to solve a Rubik’s Cube that appeared to be written on a letterhead from the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada.

The newest images come after the pair went Instagram official in December after Perry shared highlights of their trip together to Japan. The twosome also enjoyed a warm-weather getaway over the Christmas holiday.
In one pic, Trudeau was seen smiling as he swam in the water under a mostly clear sky. In another, the deeply unpopular politician sported a wide grin as Perry nuzzled in for a kiss on the neck with the sun setting in the background.
‘He is a much happier person now’
Although neither of them has publicly commented on their relationship, Perry and Trudeau have been linked to one another since last summer, when they were spotted having dinner in Montreal.
The pair were then photographed in late September hugging and kissing aboard Perry’s yacht.
The following month, they celebrated Perry’s 41st birthday at the Crazy Horse Paris and were photographed by TMZ leaving the venue holding hands and smiling.
“Of course, Katy and Justin looked absolutely stunning together and appeared to be happier than clams,” the website reported.

An insider close to Perry told PEOPLE that the whirlwind romance was a “life twist” that caught the pop star by surprise following her split from Bloom.
“Dating Justin is something she never saw coming, but she’s really enjoying this surprising life twist,” the Perry source said.

“The only reason this turned into something real is because Justin has been so persistent,” another confidante told PEOPLE. “She wasn’t looking to date when they first hung out, and she certainly wasn’t looking for a boyfriend.”
“He is a much happier person now,” an insider added. “Stresses are greatly diminished. And he is intrigued with Katy. They have fun together, laugh a lot, talk about everything.”
Another source told Page Six that Trudeau is “crazy” about Perry.
“He is crazy about her and thinks she is the perfect woman,” they said in October. “They are simpatico on everything including politics, kids and French food.”
Earlier this year, during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Perry looked on as Trudeau talked tough against U.S. President Donald Trump.

“Last summer, I went on a date with an American girl on a rooftop bar in Montreal,” Trudeau said, referencing the start of his relationship with Perry, according to the National Post. “And when she ordered Jack and Coke, the server kindly informed her that there is no more American alcohol in the bar and anywhere in Montreal. That’s an example of Canadians standing up for themselves. That’s an example of soft power.”
A source told PEOPLE last month that “the priority for both of them is stability for the kids,” adding, “Katy and Justin have had to be flexible to make the relationship work.”
