Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau might be in the cards for the most unexpected couple this year, but the new couple is sailing full steam ahead. The two are reportedly getting closer since they first linked up in July by secretly dating.
A source reportedly told The Sun that they’re stronger than ever even when they’re apart. “They haven’t been able to spend a lot of time together as she’s on tour, but they’re constantly in contact — always FaceTiming and messaging each other,” the source explained, referencing Perry’s ongoing “Lifetimes” Tour.
For the former Canadian Prime Minister, Trudeau is “a bit of a geek and can’t believe someone as famous and glamorous as Katy is interested in him,” according to the source. The sentiment is the same for Perry as she’s “flattered such a respected politician wants to date her.”
Sources denied that the two had not been an item in August, but photos emerged of the two kissing on a yacht. The artist and politician started dating after Perry was freshly single from her split from longtime boyfriend Orlando Bloom. “Justin has been single for a while and has enjoyed getting to know her,” a source told People. Justin separated from his wife, Sophie Trudeau, in 2023.
“He likes her personality, and they are two people who really enjoy chatting about different topics, and they click very well so far, as they are going to see each other again very soon.”
The insider added, “He is feeling that talking to her and getting to know her is very refreshing, like a breath of fresh air in his life. He was happy to connect with her so well, and that she appreciates him being a normal, respectful person who was very understanding of her recent separation from Orlando Bloom. He isn’t the kind of guy that would rush things, and she seems to enjoy that a lot. It’s a gentlemanly way to behave.”
Another source close to Justin dished that they’ve been wanting them to meet up for “for a while” and that Perry agreed “very quickly.” The feeling of dating is refreshing for the politician. “He feels like a young adult again, he is very excited about the process so far, and he really enjoys [getting] to know her and to talk about many, many topics with her,” the second insider explained.
“Justin isn’t a guy who is easy to ‘catch’ and he has been having a lot of women trying to date him since he separated from his wife.”
On their new romance, Katy Perry’s ex Orlando Bloom slyly reacted to the news by reposting a post from satirical site The Onion about how he was dating Germany’s Prime Minister Angela Merkle. However, the move left a bad taste in Katy’s mouth. “Katy feels very let down and humiliated by Orlando, but she’s also realising that he wasn’t the right person for her. He’s showing his true colours and it’s really very hurtful and spiteful to her, especially as it probably means the end of any possible friendship with him in future,” and insider told OK! UK. “She hoped they’d both be mature after the break-up so she’s feeling really disappointed.”
