Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry have stepped out as a new couple, sparking a buzz among fans and the media.
Following their respective separations earlier this year, the former Canadian prime minister and the pop icon have been seen together in public, although they have not addressed their relationship publicly.
Trudeau ended his 18-year marriage with Sophie Grégoire in the summer of 2023, while Perry split from actor Orlando Bloom, her fiancé of seven years, with whom she shares a daughter.
Their romance made headlines when they were spotted in Montreal on July 28, taking a walk in Mount Royal Park, dining at a popular restaurant, and enjoying drinks at a trendy bar.
Trudeau later attended Perry’s concert in Montreal on July 30, where he sang along to her hit song “Firework” while accompanied by his daughter.
In October, photos surfaced of the couple embracing on Perry’s yacht off the coast of California. They were also seen holding hands after attending a cabaret show in Paris.
Their relationship has sparked various reactions online, with some speculating on the cultural and political implications of their pairing. The internet has been abuzz with opinions ranging from support to skepticism.
Publications like the New Yorker and satire sites like the Onion have also weighed in on the couple, with humorous takes and commentary on the public fascination with their relationship.
