Along with being public figures, the new couple, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, are both parents. As many know, Perry is a proud mom to her daughter Daisy, and Justin is a dad to two children: Xavier, born in 2007, and Ella-Grace, born in 2009. And now, it seems Perry is helping out Trudeau’s son!
Perry is allegedly using her lessons as a judge on American Idol to help her boyfriend’s son, Xavier, also known as Xav, with his music career, especially after he released a highly criticized rap video this month.

“Katy told him point-blank that every artist gets dragged. She wanted him to know she understands exactly how it feels,” an inside source said to Rob Shuter for his #Shuterscoop Substack. Another insider said, “[Perry] connected him with producers and told him to keep working. She wants him to take the criticism seriously, but not personally.”
Another insider said, “She’s there as support, not a manager. She listens to his demos, but she also tells him when something doesn’t work… He feels safer with her in his corner.”
Katy Perry, Justin Trudeau
For those who don’t know, earlier this year, Perry and her ex-fiancé, Orlando Bloom, called their engagement off after nearly a decade together. Soon after, Perry and Trudeau started reportedly dating after a July 28 date night in Montreal, and Trudeau attended Perry’s Lifetimes Tour in Montreal on July 29. Then, on October 11, the Daily Mail obtained photos of Trudeau and Perry kissing aboard Perry’s 24-meter yacht in Santa Barbara, California. Weeks after that, in late Oct 2025, they made their first official outing as a couple at Perry’s birthday party in Paris!
