Katy Perry and shirtless Justin Trudeau confirm romance with steamy kiss on yacht
SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA: Looks like it’s finally official.
After months of whispers, the Daily Mail hasreportedly confirmed that pop superstar Katy Perry is dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau get cozy on yacht
The new power couple was caught packing on some PDA aboard Perry’s 24-meter yacht, The Caravelle, cruising off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. Daily Mail’s exclusive photos show the two cuddling and kissing under the sun.
The 'I Kissed a Girl' hitmaker, 40, looked effortlessly stunning in a sleek black swimsuit, while Trudeau, 53, couldn’t keep his hands off her. At one point, the former PM was even seen placing a hand on the singer’s back as they laughed together.
The steamy snaps were reportedly taken by a tourist aboard a whale-watching boat that happened to pass by Perry’s yacht.
According to the eyewitness, “She pulled her boat up next to a small public whale-watching boat, then they started making out. I didn’t realize who she was with until I saw the tattoo on the guy’s arm, and immediately knew it was Justin Trudeau.”
That tattoo is Trudeau’s distinctive Haida raven, a tribute to an Indigenous Canadian nation known for its artistry and seamanship.
A summer romance months in the making
Perry and Trudeau first sparked dating rumors in July when they were seen having what witnesses described as an “intimate dinner” at Montreal’s Le Violon restaurant. At the time, both kept quiet about their relationship status.
According to Daily Mail, the yacht photos were taken late last month while Perry was taking a short break from her Lifetimes world tour. Though this may be their first public PDA, insiders claim the two have been growing close for months.
Sources said earlier this year that they were “in the very early stages” of exploring a romance. One insider told the outlet, “Katy is very, very interested in him. She says he’s a real catch, a high-quality guy. She clearly likes him a lot. He likes her a lot.”
The pair have reportedly been calling and texting each other constantly, often chatting for hours about their kids, work, and travel plans.
Balancing love, kids, and careers
Both Perry and Trudeau bring full lives to the table. Trudeau split from his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. The former couple shares three children — Xavier (18), Ella-Grace (16), and Hadrien (11).
Perry, meanwhile, is mom to five-year-old Daisy Dove Bloom, her daughter with 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor Orlando Bloom. She was previously married to comedian Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012.
Despite their busy schedules, the pair reportedly stay connected through regular messages. “They just are so busy and in different cities, so they aren’t physically together often,” one insider said. “But if there’s anyone worth a long-distance relationship, it’s him.”
The source added that they’re “enamored” with each other, saying Perry is “actually a great texter.” “If she’s interested in someone like she is with him, she’ll take the time to wish him good morning or ask about his day,” the insider added.
Trying to stay private
Though the relationship has now gone public, sources say Perry and Trudeau are still trying to keep things private. One insider told US Weekly last month, “They’ve decided to be much more private about it. They’re still speaking and are very interested in each other.”
Another source added that Perry remains “very busy on tour,” and it’s still early days for the pair.
