Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau spark buzz holding hands
Singer Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have seemingly confirmed their long-rumoured relationship after being photographed holding hands during a stylish evening out in Paris. The pair, who had been the subject of weeks of quiet speculation, were seen walking hand-in-hand outside a private event in the city, their chemistry impossible to miss.
Celebrity news site TMZ published both photos and video footage of the two together, capturing a moment that sent social media into overdrive. In the clip, Trudeau can be seen chivalrously helping Perry into the back seat of a waiting car while photographers called out their names. The singer smiled warmly but stayed silent, while Trudeau appeared calm and protective — a gesture that many online users interpreted as confirmation of their relationship.
Neither Perry nor Trudeau have publicly commented, but fans and media outlets alike are convinced that this appearance marks their first public outing as a couple. Their Paris rendezvous, which coincided with Perry’s 41st birthday celebrations over the weekend, seemed like the perfect occasion for a soft launch of their romance.
Rumours about their relationship have been swirling for months. The former Canadian leader was first spotted attending one of Perry’s concerts earlier this year, where sources described the pair as “inseparable” backstage. Their shared laughter and warm exchanges at the time sparked whispers that there was more than friendship between them. Since then, the two have been seen together at multiple private gatherings, though both carefully avoided any overt public displays of affection — until now.
Representatives for both Perry and Trudeau’s Liberal Party have not yet responded to media requests for comment, maintaining an air of mystery around the pair. Still, insiders suggest that the two have grown close over the past year, bonding over shared interests in global humanitarian causes, education, and mental health awareness — areas in which both have long been active.
During a recent stop on her European tour, Perry may have dropped a subtle hint about her relationship status. When a fan playfully proposed to her from the audience, the singer laughed and quipped, “I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago.” The timing was telling — the comment came just days after the first photos of her and Trudeau together were leaked online.
Perry’s personal life has long captured the public’s fascination. The Grammy-nominated artist was previously in a high-profile relationship with actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares a daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom. The couple parted ways earlier this year after nearly a decade together, describing the decision as amicable and rooted in mutual respect.
Trudeau, too, has been in the public eye for his personal life. The 53-year-old former prime minister, who led Canada from 2015 until 2025, separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023 after 18 years of marriage. The pair share three children and have continued to co-parent amicably, often seen together at family events.
For many fans, the pairing of Perry and Trudeau feels unexpected yet oddly fitting. Both are charismatic, socially conscious, and comfortable under the glare of the spotlight. Perry, known for her pop anthems and playful stage presence, has also championed causes ranging from gender equality to voter engagement. Trudeau, on the other hand, has long positioned himself as a progressive leader, advocating for inclusivity, environmental protection, and women’s rights.
Their shared worldview — and undeniable chemistry — may be what brought them together. As one source told the BBC, “They’ve known each other for a while through mutual friends and connected on a deeper level this year. They’re both passionate, driven people who genuinely admire each other’s work and values.”
As the pair’s photos from Paris continue to dominate social media feeds, reactions have been mixed — some fans are thrilled to see Perry happy again, while others express surprise at the unlikely match. Still, the general sentiment seems positive, with admirers calling them “an unexpected power couple.”
Whether or not they choose to make their relationship official, one thing is clear: Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s Paris appearance has set off a media frenzy. And for now, both seem content to let their actions — and that unmistakable hand-holding moment — do all the talking.
