American pop star Katy Perry has finally confirmed her much-speculated relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by sharing a series of intimate photos and videos from their recent trip to Japan. The singer posted the carousel on Instagram, featuring a warm cheek-to-cheek selfie and clips of the pair enjoying sushi and spending time together.
The post, captioned “Tokyo times on tour and more”, instantly set social media abuzz, marking the first time Perry publicly acknowledged the romance.
Growing Speculation Finally Ends
Rumours of a relationship between the 41-year-old singer and the 53-year-old politician have been circulating for months. Trudeau was spotted attending Perry’s concert earlier this year, and the two were photographed together on multiple occasions, including a hand-holding moment in Paris last month which many believed confirmed their romance.
TMZ also published footage of the duo walking hand-in-hand in the French capital during Perry’s birthday celebrations — an appearance that largely cemented their status as a couple.
Japan Visit Adds More Confirmation
This latest development comes days after Trudeau shared a photograph on X (formerly Twitter) of himself with Perry, Japan’s former prime minister Fumio Kishida, and Kishida’s wife, Yuko. In his post, Trudeau thanked Kishida for his continued friendship and acknowledged Perry’s presence during the meeting.
Interestingly, Kishida referred to Perry as Trudeau’s “partner” in his own post, further fueling public curiosity before Perry made things official on Instagram.
Hints From Perry on Tour
During her recent London tour stop, Perry jokingly hinted at being taken when a fan proposed to her mid-concert, quipping, “I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago.” The comment came just days after the first viral pictures of her and Trudeau emerged online.
Their Previous Relationships
Perry was earlier in a long-term relationship with actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares a daughter. The couple split earlier this year after nearly a decade together.
Trudeau, who served as Canada’s prime minister from 2015 to 2025, separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023 after 18 years of marriage. They share three children.
From Rumours to Reality
Reports also suggest that Trudeau had been pursuing Perry since the two went out on several dates in Montreal. Their first sighting as a duo dates back to July, when they were photographed walking their dogs in Canada.
Now, with Perry’s social media post, the couple has made their relationship public — officially putting months of speculation to rest.
