Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and global pop superstar Katy Perry have set the internet abuzz after being photographed dining together in Montreal. The highly publicized meal, occurring just weeks after Perry's confirmed split from actor Orlando Bloom, has ignited a flurry of speculation about a potential new romance for both prominent figures.
Perry, 40, and Trudeau, 53, were reportedly seen enjoying an evening at Le Violon, a popular neighborhood restaurant in Montreal's Le Plateau. According to witnesses, the pair shared cocktails and a variety of dishes, including lobster, over several hours. Sources at the restaurant noted the friendly demeanor between them, with both Perry and Trudeau even visiting the kitchen afterwards to thank the staff. Footage obtained by TMZ shows the two in conversation, with Perry appearing engaged and attentive.
Neither Trudeau nor Perry has publicly commented on the dinner or the swirling romance rumors, maintaining a veil of privacy around the meeting. However, the timing has undoubtedly fueled intense public interest in the evolving personal lives of one of Canada's most recognizable political figures and a globally celebrated pop icon.
A New Chapter for Both
The dinner comes on the heels of significant personal changes for both individuals. Katy Perry's engagement to Orlando Bloom officially ended in June 2025, after nearly nine years of an on-and-off relationship. Their representatives confirmed the split, emphasizing their joint commitment to co-parenting their four-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove. Despite the separation, Perry and Bloom were seen vacationing together in Italy aboard a yacht with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez just weeks prior to the Trudeau sighting, indicating an amicable transition to co-parenting. It's also been reported that Perry recently faced public ridicule for some of her tour stunts and dance moves.
For Justin Trudeau, the dinner with Perry took place some time after he and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, publicly announced their separation in August 2023, following 18 years of marriage. They share three children: Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien. Despite the separation, both Justin and Sophie have consistently emphasized their dedication to remaining a close family, prioritizing their children's well-being. Sophie Grégoire Trudeau has also openly spoken about the emotional pain of divorce, describing it as a form of failure, but has also been seen with Ottawa pediatric surgeon Dr. Marcos Bettolli, sparking rumors of a new relationship for her.
A Public Life Under Scrutiny
Justin Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire's relationship, which began in childhood and reconnected as adults, was often seen as a political fairytale. Sophie became a vocal advocate for mental health and released a book in 2024. Their separation, though described as a mutual and difficult decision, was confirmed by the Prime Minister's office, stating a legal separation agreement had been signed.
The recent sighting of Trudeau and Perry together has amplified the already buzzing rumor mill. With both now single, the timing inevitably sparks questions about a new romantic chapter. While there's no official confirmation of a romantic involvement, and sources close to the Montreal restaurant indicated no outward signs of a "date," the fact that they shared an evening in Montreal has undeniably captured the public's imagination. Justin Trudeau, who recently resigned as prime minister earlier this year, has always attracted media attention to his personal life, and this latest development is no exception, leaving many to wonder if this is the start of a new celebrity power couple.
