The two seemed to be in deep conversation with each other at Le Violon in Montreal.
Perry, 40, had just separated from longtime beau Orlando Bloom this summer after nine years together, while Trudeau announced the separation from wife Sophie after 18 years of marriage in 2023.
The restaurant's chef, Danny Smiles, told TMZ, however, that it seemed like a dinner between friends.
According to the report, lobster and cocktails were on the menu for the pair.
The two went to the kitchen afterward to thank the staff, according to the outlet, and were nice throughout.
The chef even divulged that Trudeau, 53, picked up the tab.
The pair have both had a whirlwind year, from the pop star going on a space trip and touring to Trudeau stepping down as Canada's PM.
Perry has reportedly just split with Bloom, 48, whom she shares a daughter with.
Rumors had swirled that things had gone sour between the pair for months, with The Sun reporting in June that Bloom did not think Perry's Blue Origin space trip "was a good idea."
Earlier this month, representatives for the couple told E! News that the pair have been "shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting."
Trudeau announced his separation from his wife, Sophie, 48, in 2023 after "many meaningful and difficult conversations," he wrote on Instagram at the time.
The two married in 2005, and have three children together.

Brooklyn Beckham looks glum as he waits for wife Nicola Peltz in a changing room on shopping trip
Brooklyn Beckham looked glum as he waited for his wife Nicola Peltz to try on clothes during a recent shoppign trip. The amateur chef, 26, who is embroiled in a rift with his family, cut a casual figure as he posed for selfies in a changing room while waiting for Nicola. Brooklyn, the eldest of the Beckham children, cut a casual figure in a white printed T-shirt and dark trousers. He also sported a backwards black cap as he showed off his array of arm tattoos in the snaps. Alongside the photos, shared to Instagram, he wrote: 'Me waiting for my Mrs to try on clothes haha'. The amateur chef, 26, who is embroiled in a rift with his family, cut a casual figure as he posed for selfies in a changing room while waiting for Nicola It comes after Brooklyn spent the week on a £85million superyacht called Project X, which is chartered for £1.2million per week. The 260ft luxury vessel was rented by Nicola's billionaire parents, who holidayed with the couple and the rest of the Peltz clan. Just two days after the family jetted back to the U.S. after their European getaway, Brooklyn's parents arrived in the same dock on their £16million yacht, Seven. David, 50 and Victoria, 51, bought their 130ft boat in 2022, after previously buying a smaller vessel by the same name the year before. Speaking about the financial rivalry, a source told The Sun: 'Brooklyn's yacht dwarfs the one owned by David and Victoria. It's a financial flex. 'Their relationship is beyond soured now but Brooklyn has really landed on his feet. Nicola and her parents, Nelson and Claudia, are his family now. And he's clearly enjoying the spoils.' Project X boasts a master suite, a VIP cabin, five double rooms as well as two twin cabins, while being able to hold a crew of 28 to run the boat. Special features include a huge glass-sided swimming pool, a wellness suite, a spa and a jaw-dropping 360-degree sundeck. Meanwhile, the Beckham's smaller yacht has five cabins in comparison, sleeping ten people and seven crew members. Their boat features a spa bath on the upper deck, as well as 65ft garage, plenty of water toys and a jet ski to keep the family entertained. Seven is named after David's iconic football shirt number as well as their daughter Harper's middle name. They previously owned a £5million boat but upgraded it less than a year later. David and Victoria are away with their other three children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 14. They narrowly avoided an awkward run-in with estranged son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola in the celebrity hotspot. They arrived in the south of France for their annual summer break, where their eldest son had been spotted holidaying on his billionaire father-in-law's boat nearby. David and Victoria were joined on the lavish getaway by the rest of their children; Harper and Romeo while youngest son Cruz soaked up the sun elsewhere in St Tropez with girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30. Romeo and Harper were first of the family to be spotted in St Tropez on Thursday, just 48-hours after Brooklyn met with godfather Elton John, who was also holidaying in the South Of France, for lunch where the singer 'attempted to end ongoing family feud'. The once close-knit Beckham family has been thrown into turmoil in recent months, amid claims Brooklyn has become increasingly estranged from his famous parents after failing to attend any of his father 50th birthday celebrations in May. It was also revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers in the latest family drama. Meanwhile amid their trip Nicola gushed and branded her hunky husband 'her everything' Sir Elton, who has been friends with the Beckhams for three decades, reportedly took the opportunity to 'say his piece' about the feud as he wined and dined the young couple. According to The Sun, Sir Elton 'briefly' spoke about the family's feud in the hope Brooklyn would patch things up with his parents, and footage of the outing shared on social media showed the pair shaking hands. Speaking about Elton's attempts to play peacekeeper in the row, a source said: 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland. He's utterly neutral in this row. 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn - but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. He just wants everyone to be happy. 'There is no side-taking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour. He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather, it's a role he takes seriously. 'Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short - to patch things up.' The source added Elton is 'adamant he doesn't want to stick his nose in' the feud, he just simply 'wants peace'. Sir Elton is also said to have generously picked up the entire bill, after dining on the restaurant's signature lobster linguine which comes in at an eye-watering £190. Brooklyn enjoyed a workout on the multi-million pound super Superyacht Nicola shared a slew of final holiday snaps from the couple's lavish trip before heading home to the US. In a snap shared to her Instagram Stories Nicola threw her arms around Brooklyn's neck as they smooched while watching a sunset. She later stunned in a black mini dress as she strutted her stuff on the dance floor before enjoying a lavish fireworks display. The heiress later showcased her jaw-dropping figure as she headed ashore and turned heads in a Chanel crop top which she teamed with a fluffy shrug, despite the scorching weather. Meanwhile another source has claimed that Nicola and Brooklyn will not feature in his mother forthcoming documentary series. The former Spice Girl will take centre stage in a new Netflix docuseries about her day-to-day life as creative director of the eponymous fashion and beauty brand she originally launched in 2008. The source told The Sun: 'The children hardly feature — it's simply not a case of Brooklyn and Nicola being cut, as they weren't in it to start with. 'This is very much a project focussing on Victoria's transaction from pop star to businesswoman and designer.'

MAFS star slams ‘narcissistic' bride and says relationship with groom is ‘purely transactional' and ‘won't last forever'
MARRIED At First Sight Australia 2025 was explosive to say to least. Awhina Rutene, who was a participant in the most recent series of the Aussie programme, had a turbulent time on the show which aired in the UK earlier this year. 5 5 5 Paired up with Adrian Araouzou on the hit Channel 9 and E4 series, things were not rosy for the couple with it ending on bad terms by the end of the experiment. She has now gotten close to British hunk Billy Belcher from her season. But following her show exit, Awhina has faced even more rocky moments - though this time it has been with a bride from her series. Jacqui Burfoot was paired up with Ryan Donnelly on the show, but later found love with Clint Rice who had been paired up with Lauren Hall. When cast members, including Awhina, regained control of their Instagram accounts back in May, she spoke out about Jacqui and her thoughts on her romance with Clint. Jacqui and Clint announced their engagement back in April, after a whirlwind romance that began during the show. Clint proposed to Jacqui during a viewing party for the show in Sydney. Now, speaking to The Sun in an exclusive interview, Awhina has opened up about her feud with Jacqui and Clint. When asked about a recent Instagram story by Clint that said Awhina and Billy's relationship was a PR stunt, Awhina told us she can't see their content as they have all blocked each other. She then went into detail about their ongoing feud, revealing to us: "They're [Jacqui and Clint] upset with me because I did a Channel 9 approved interview when they got engaged.

Trump's trade talks intensify as tariff deadline closes in
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said this week that his country was in the "intense phase" of the complex negotiations, as it sought to avert a promised 35% tariff on imports that fall outside of an existing trade pact with the United States. More: Trump's trade deal with the EU: What it means for your wallet "There is a landing zone that's possible but we have to get there. We'll see what happens," Carney told reporters during a July 28 news conference. 'No more extensions,' Trump administration warns A baseline tariff of 10% is currently in place for most countries, some two dozen of which received letters from Trump this month informing them that higher rates are on the way. They include Brazil, which Trump says he'll hit with a 50% tariff, and India, which he said he'll apply a 26% rate to, as well as Canada, at 35%, and Mexico, which faces a 30% tariff. Mexico, Canada and EU are the the largest exporters of goods to the United States along with China, which is in separate trade talks with the Trump administration and faces a later deadline in August. First announced on April 2 by Trump in the Rose Garden, the implementation of the so-called "reciprocal tariffs" were twice extended to stabilize the markets and give the president's team more time to conduct negotiations. The constant deadline shifting has given birth to an acronym: TACO, for Trump Always Chickens Out, mocking the second-term president's on-again-off-again tariff policies. More: Trump threatens 35% tariff for Canada amid flurry of letters threatening hikes But countries hoping for another reprieve won't be so fortunate, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on July 27. "No extensions, no more grace periods. Aug. 1, the tariffs are set, they'll go into place. Customs will start collecting the money, and off we go," Lutnick said on "Fox News Sunday." EU latest to strike trade deal with Trump Just ahead of the deadline, on July 27, the European Union struck a deal with Trump. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Trump finalized the agreement in person while the U.S. president was in Scotland. The deal includes a 15% tariff on most European exports to the United States, a reduction from the 30% Trump threatened to impose earlier in July. "We just had a very big trade deal, the biggest of them all yesterday," Trump said during a bilateral meeting in Scotland on July 28 with U.K. Prime Minister Kier Starmer at Trump Turnberry golf course. The agreement includes $600 billion in EU investments in the U.S. and the purchase of $750 billion worth of U.S. energy. Tariffs on steel and aluminum will remain at 50%. On July 22, Trump also announced a "massive deal" with Japan under which the United States would impose a 15% tariff on Japanese imports. Trump had previously threatened a 24% tariff on Japan. He said Japan would invest $550 billion in the United States and America would receive 90% of the profits, without offering any details. Trump's announcement also said Japan had agreed to open its markets to imports of vehicles, rice and other agricultural products from the United States. The U.K. was the first country to reach a trade agreement with the United States in May. A reciprocal tariff of 10% remains in effect, in keeping with the baseline tariff rate. More: Trump considers 'rebates' to US taxpayers from tariff income Under the deal, the first 100,000 vehicles imported into the U.S. by U.K. car manufacturers each year are subject to the reciprocal rate of 10% and any additional vehicles each year are subject to 25% rates, the White House says. The U.K is one of the only countries with whom the U.S. has a trade surplus. Trump has also announced deals with Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. 'We've made the big ones,' says Trump Pakistan's foreign minister said on July 25 after a meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio that his country was "very close" to reaching a deal with the United States and one could emerge in days. South Korean officials were also in Washington on July 25, for negotiations with Lutnick and other Trump administration officials. Trump signaled during his meeting with Starmer on July 28 that he'd landed most of the deals he expected to and his patience was waning for individual talks. "We're going to be setting a tariff for essentially the rest of the world and that's what they're going to pay if they want to do business in the United States. Because you can't sit down and make 200 deals," Trump declared. "But we've made the big ones." One of the last outstanding agreements of significance is an unfinished deal with China. After rounds of tit-for-tat tariffs that saw the U.S. hike fees on imports to 145% and China put tariffs of 125% on U.S. goods, the nations two called a truce in May, agreeing to a 90-day suspension of the levies. Negotiators from both countries met in Stockholm on July 28 for another round of discussions, with the clock ticking toward the Aug. 12 expiration of the temporary truce between the top economies. "We have a good relationship with China, but China is tough," Trump during his meeting with Starmer in Scotland.
