In a move blending high-stakes international affairs with unexpected romance, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has publicly acknowledged his relationship with pop superstar Katy Perry. The confirmation came during a formal lunch in Tokyo with ex-Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yoko, turning a routine diplomatic encounter into a viral sensation.
Perry, currently on a break from her ongoing Lifetimes world tour, traveled to Japan to join Trudeau for the midday meeting. Trudeau captured the moment on X, formerly Twitter, posting a group photo and captioning it: “Great to see you @kishida230. Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko. Thank you, Fumio, for your friendship and your continued commitment to both the international rules-based order and to a better future for everyone.” The casual reference to “Katy and I” marked the couple’s most direct affirmation of their partnership to date.
For the occasion, Perry chose a sharp green two-piece ensemble, complemented by black tights, a turtleneck, and boots, exuding effortless style. She stood close to Trudeau, her hand resting behind him in the photo, while he reverted to a polished grey suit, embodying his familiar diplomatic poise. Kishida responded warmly on the platform: “Thank you, Justin. Happy holidays to you and Katy!”
The post ignited an immediate frenzy across social media, with users dubbing it the “craziest hard launch in history.” Sports journalist Jeff Veillette quipped on X, “This might be the craziest hard launch in the history of the free world.” Another commenter, Shiro ʚɞ, expressed disbelief: “”Katy and I” is something that I could’ve never imagined.” Fans marveled at the crossover, with one noting, “Katy Perry doing international diplomacy. Did not have this on my top risks 2025 list!” Others chimed in with humor: “International relations but make it holiday card energy,” “Definitely didn’t have this on my bingo card,” and a simple, emphatic “ok, hard launch” from user maha.

The romance first sparked public curiosity in July, when the pair were spotted sharing a dinner in Montreal. Trudeau later showed support by attending Perry’s sold-out Lifetimes tour concert in Canada. Their connection comes amid personal transitions for both. Perry concluded her seven-year relationship and six-year engagement with actor Orlando Bloom in June 2025. The former couple’s representatives stated they remain committed to amicably co-parenting their daughter, Daisy Dove, born in August 2020 after they began dating in 2016.
Trudeau, meanwhile, disclosed his separation from wife Sophie Gregoire in August 2023, following 18 years of marriage. The couple shares custody of their three children: Xavier, 17; Ella-Grace, 16; and Hadrien, 11.
As reactions pour in, the unexpected pairing continues to captivate, proving that even in the corridors of global power, love can steal the spotlight.
