Overview
- Perry’s Dec. 6 Instagram carousel from Japan featured a cheek‑to‑cheek selfie with Trudeau and a video of her trying uni, widely treated as the couple’s hard launch.
- Two days earlier, Trudeau reshared a photo with former Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, as Kishida’s caption referred to Perry as Trudeau’s “partner.”
- The public confirmation follows reports of a July dinner in Montreal, Trudeau attending her concert there, and the pair holding hands in Paris on Oct. 25.
- An unnamed source told People that Trudeau was “so persistent,” flying to meet Perry during her Lifetimes Tour, while she initially was not seeking a boyfriend.
- Both recently ended long relationships, with Perry’s split from fiancé Orlando Bloom announced in mid‑2025 and Trudeau’s separation from Sophie Grégoire in 2023.
