More details have surfaced about Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s surprising dinner date.
The unlikely couple has reportedly been in contact for weeks after meeting at an event and bonding over their shared interests about making the world a better place, a source told the US Sun.
“Justin always enjoys nice company, and Katy is the kind of woman that really caught his attention,” an insider, who worked with Trudeau while he was in office, told the outlet.

“Justin has been single for a while and has enjoyed getting to know her,” the source added, referring to the politician separating from his wife, Sophie Trudeau, in 2023.
“He likes her personality, and they are two people who really enjoy chatting about different topics, and they click very well so far, as they are going to see each other again very soon.”
Perry, 40, and Justin, 53, reportedly have plans to meet up in the United States.
“Whatever happens, happens. He is a single man, so [he] is on the market and ready to start something new with a woman after a few rough moments after splitting from his wife,” the source continued.
“He is feeling that talking to her and getting to know her is very refreshing, like a breath of fresh air in his life. He was happy to connect with her so well, and that she appreciates him being a normal, respectful person who was very understanding of her recent separation from Orlando Bloom.
“He isn’t the kind of guy that would rush things, and she seems to enjoy that a lot. It’s a gentlemanly way to behave.”
A second source, who also worked closely with Justin, claimed the pair had been waiting to meet up “for a while” and that Perry agreed “very quickly.”
“Justin isn’t shy about his romantic life, and he took her on a date, and he was very, very excited to do so and kept talking about it in the last few days,” the insider said.
“He feels like a young adult again, he is very excited about the process so far, and he really enjoys [getting] to know her and to talk about many, many topics with her. Justin isn’t a guy who is easy to ‘catch’ and he has been having a lot of women trying to date him since he separated from his wife.”
Page Six has reached out to reps for both Perry and Justin for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Although Trudeau had hoped their date would be “quiet” and “private,” he and Perry were spotted dining together at Le Violon in Montreal, Canada, according to photos first obtained by TMZ.
An eyewitness told the outlet that the pair enjoyed cocktails and shared several dishes, including one with lobster, and even met with the chef and the kitchen staff.
Perry and the politician were also seen enjoying a romantic stroll in Montreal with the musician’s dog, Nugget.
According to TMZ, the two walked around together for about an hour. However, they did not show any signs of PDA.
Earlier this month, the “Hot N Cold” songstress and her then-fiancé, Orlando Bloom, confirmed their split in a joint statement after 10 years together.
