Pop Star Playfully Hints at Her Relationship With Former PM
Katy Perry added a cheeky twist to her latest Lifetimes Tour stop in London, addressing her rumored romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in front of a packed audience on October 13, 2025.
The “Firework” singer, 40, made the playful remark just one day after photos surfaced showing her sharing a kiss with Trudeau aboard a luxury yacht in Santa Barbara, California. The images quickly went viral, fueling speculation about the unexpected celebrity–political pairing.
During her concert at London’s O2 Arena, Perry received a spontaneous marriage proposal from a fan, according to Daily Mail. Instead of brushing it off, she turned the moment into a subtle nod to her rumored romance, saying with a grin:
“I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago.”
The crowd erupted in laughter as the pop icon winked and moved on with her set—seemingly confirming what fans had already guessed.
“No Wonder I Fall for Englishmen”—But Not Anymore
Continuing her signature banter with fans, Perry also joked about her attraction to British men, a nod to her past relationship with English actor Orlando Bloom, to whom she was previously engaged.
“London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night after a full day at work and school?” she teased. “No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time.”
Then came the punchline that had fans buzzing:
“But not anymore.”
The quip was widely interpreted as Perry’s lighthearted acknowledgment of her new romantic chapter with Trudeau, 53, marking the first time she has publicly referenced their connection since the rumors began months ago.
From Montreal Dinners to Santa Barbara PDA
The pair’s rumored romance first made headlines in July 2025, when the Grammy-nominated artist and the former world leader were spotted dining together at Montreal’s upscale Le Violen restaurant.
According to eyewitnesses, the two enjoyed an intimate dinner with a small security detail nearby. The restaurant’s chef later emerged to greet them personally, and onlookers described their interaction as “warm and comfortable.”
Just two nights later, fans attending Perry’s Montreal concert captured photos of Trudeau in the crowd, cheering and singing along to her hits. The images quickly spread on social media, sparking speculation about a growing bond between the two.
Their relationship appeared to move from quiet dinners to public displays of affection when paparazzi photos showed Perry and Trudeau sharing a kiss aboard a yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara in early October.
Orlando Bloom Reacts With Humor
While the world speculated about Perry’s new romance, her former fiancé Orlando Bloom showed no signs of bitterness. The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 47, reacted to a satirical social media post joking that he had dined with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel by commenting with a string of applause emojis, earning praise from fans for his good-natured humor.
Bloom and Perry share a 5-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, and have publicly maintained a friendly co-parenting relationship since their separation earlier this year.
Speaking to NBC’s Today show in September, Bloom said, “It’s nothing but love,” when asked about his relationship with the pop star. His calm and gracious attitude further fueled admiration for both celebrities’ ability to prioritize family over drama.
Justin Trudeau’s Life After Politics
Justin Trudeau, who stepped down as Canada’s Prime Minister in 2024 after nearly a decade in office, has largely stayed out of the political spotlight since his resignation. The 53-year-old shares three children—Xavier (17), Ella-Grace (16), and Hadrien (11)—with his ex-wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, from whom he separated in 2023.
Trudeau’s recent public appearances, including his attendance at Perry’s Montreal concert, have shown a more relaxed side of the former leader. Sources close to Trudeau told People magazine that he has been “focusing on family, creativity, and rediscovering joy in everyday life.”
Fans React to the Unexpected Romance
Social media exploded with reactions to the new couple, with fans coining playful hashtags like #TruPerry and #FireworkDiplomacy. Some praised the pairing as a symbol of “soft power romance,” while others expressed surprise at the crossover between pop culture and politics.
“Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau? Did not have that on my 2025 bingo card,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Industry insiders say the two met earlier this year at a climate action charity event, where they reportedly bonded over their shared interest in philanthropy and global advocacy.
What’s Next for Katy and Justin?
Neither Perry nor Trudeau has officially commented on the nature of their relationship, but their recent appearances suggest a close and growing connection.
Perry continues her Lifetimes World Tour, with upcoming stops in Paris and Berlin, while Trudeau is expected to attend a series of humanitarian conferences in Europe later this month.
Whether their romance will go the distance remains to be seen, but for now, fans seem thrilled to watch two global icons blend music, charisma, and diplomacy in a story worthy of a pop anthem.
