As diplomatic tension simmers between Canada and the U.S., pop superstar Katy Perry seems to be engaging in a different kind of international engagement—over dinner with none other than former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
According to footage obtained by TMZ, Perry—currently single—was spotted sharing a meal with Trudeau in Montreal at the upscale restaurant Le Violon. The duo appeared deep in conversation, enjoying cocktails and a multi-course tasting menu. One witness mentioned the pop singer listening intently, her head resting in her hands as Trudeau spoke, possibly giving his best attempt at impressing her.
Celebrity chef Danny Smiles, who runs the kitchen at Le Violon, told TMZ the two were “super chill” throughout their dinner. When questioned about any romantic vibes, Smiles replied that while the atmosphere was certainly romantic, the interaction between them seemed more friendly—though he admitted it was difficult to be certain.
Further sparking rumors, Perry and Trudeau were later spotted enjoying drinks together at a rooftop bar. In a short clip released by TMZ, the two walked closely, with Trudeau’s arm reportedly resting around Perry’s waist—sparking further rumors that this may have been more than just a casual outing.
Although Perry is currently in Canada for her Lifetimes Tour, with a scheduled performance in Ottawa the next evening, the timing of her outing with Trudeau has raised eyebrows. She recently ended a widely publicized relationship with actor Orlando Bloom, while Trudeau announced his separation from his wife Sophie in 2023 after 18 years of marriage.
So, is this a budding cross-border romance or just two high-profile friends catching up? Only time will tell—but it certainly has everyone talking.
