Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry have made their relationship official on Instagram. The pop star shared photos and videos of their time together in Japan, showing them smiling and enjoying sushi. This came shortly after Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida referred to Perry as Trudeau’s “partner” in a photo post.
Trudeau reposted the photo, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to meet with Kishida and Yuko. While they made their first public appearance as a couple in October, the nature of their relationship has not been publicly discussed.
Earlier this year, Perry and her fiancé Orlando Bloom announced their separation after seven years together. Similarly, Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire separated in the summer of 2023 after an 18-year relationship. Trudeau resigned as leader of the Liberal Party and prime minister in March.
The new couple has been seen together on various occasions, including outings in Montreal, attending Perry’s concert, and spending time on a yacht in Santa Barbara. Perry even referenced her relationship status during a concert stop in London. They were also spotted holding hands in Paris on Perry’s 41st birthday.
In a podcast appearance, Grégoire Trudeau talked about handling public attention surrounding her husband. Perry recently shared more photos and videos of their time in Japan on her Instagram, which garnered significant attention online.
The relationship between Trudeau and Perry has sparked discussions online about culture and politics. Some have expressed support, while others have criticized the attention the couple is receiving. Comments on Instagram varied, with some users showing excitement and others showing skepticism about the new couple.
