Katy Perry And Justin Trudeau Spotted Dining Together In Montreal: Romance Or Just Dinner?
In a surprising crossover that sent the internet into a frenzy, pop icon Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were spotted dining together at Le Violon, a cozy neighbourhood restaurant in Montreal's Le Plateau, on Monday, July 28. The unexpected pairing comes just weeks after Perry's confirmed split from actor Orlando Bloom, fueling speculation that this dinner was more than just a friendly meet-up.
According to a report by People, the duo enjoyed a leisurely meal featuring cocktails and gourmet dishes, including a lobster entrée. They were also seen visiting the kitchen to meet Chef Danny Smiles, thanking the staff before they left the restaurant. The dinner reportedly lasted over two hours, and paparazzi snaps of the evening quickly made their way across social media, sparking headlines and hashtags.
While fans were quick to dub it a 'date night," sources close to the situation are painting a different picture. A TMZ report suggests that there may be no romantic angle here at all. Danny Smiles, co-owner and chef of Le Violon, told TMZ that the vibe between Perry and Trudeau didn't read as romantic. 'They seemed like two friends having a relaxed meal," he noted, shutting down rumours of a budding relationship.
Still, the timing of the dinner has added to the intrigue. Earlier this month, Perry and Bloom, who share a daughter, Daisy Dove, publicly confirmed their separation after months of speculation. In a joint statement, their representatives stated that the couple had been 'shifting their relationship to focus on co-parenting" and that their priority remains raising their daughter 'with love, stability, and mutual respect."
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship began in 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty, leading to an engagement in 2019 and the birth of their daughter in 2020.
Justin Trudeau, meanwhile, separated from his wife, former TV host Sophie Grégoire, in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. The former couple share three children—Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien. At the time, Trudeau posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, saying, 'We remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other."
Whether Perry and Trudeau are simply friends or something more, neither party has commented on the evening or addressed the rumours. But in an era where celebrity sightings spark global headlines within minutes, one thing is certain: this dinner has left fans curious and the internet buzzing.
Was it just a casual catch-up or the beginning of a new chapter for two high-profile single parents? Time, or perhaps another dinner, will tell.

Royal Family "Reluctant" To Reconcile With Meghan Markle, Palace Insider Reveals Why
A recent report claims that the British royal family is hesitant to reconcile with Meghan Markle, despite being open to talks with Prince Harry. After Harry's aides met with King Charles' team, insiders revealed that trust issues remain the main obstacle in the royal feud, with Meghan reportedly at the centre of the problem. "They just don't trust her," a source told the Daily Express. The source added that the royals are wary of conversations with Meghan being used as material for her projects, such as her Instagram, cooking show, podcast, or interviews. According to the report, Prince Harry may travel to and from the UK alone, without his wife or their children, Archie and Lilibet. Notably, the Sussexes have been in a public feud with the Windsors since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and relocating to the US. Their departure was followed by high-profile projects, including a six-part Netflix documentary, a revealing Oprah Winfrey interview, and Harry's memoir, 'Spare.' The memoir, released in 2023, became the fastest-selling nonfiction book ever, with Harry openly detailing the family conflicts within the royal family. The memoir also reveals Harry's strained relationships with his father and brother, Prince William, and how his marriage to Markle led him to fully step away from royal life. Since then, they have made only a few visits to the UK. However, recently, Prince Harry has expressed a genuine desire to reconcile, offering to share his schedule with the royal family for full transparency. "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight anymore; life is precious," he told the BBC in May. Meanwhile, another royal insider claims Prince Harry's chances of regaining the Royal Family's trust are slim after sharing intimate details in his memoir. The insider claims that the family now hesitates to confide in him, fearing he'll reveal more personal stories in a a second autobiography.

Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn's film witnesses drop amid tough competition from Saiyaara
Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn's comedy-drama released in theatres on August 1 and clashed with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2. While the film has managed to stay ahead of Dhadak 2, it is still struggling at the box office and has now seen a decline in collections on its first Monday. Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn headlines the comedy with Mrunal Thakur and Ravi Kishan for company. Son of Sardaar 2 witnesses a dip on first Monday According to Sacnilk, Ajay's film closed its opening weekend with ₹24.75 crore (earning ₹7.25 crore on Day 1, ₹8.25 crore on Day 2, and ₹9.25 crore on Day 3). However, the film failed to maintain momentum at the box office on its first Monday, earning just ₹1.88 crore. The total collection of the movie now stands at ₹26.63 crore. While the film continues to race ahead of Dhadak 2, it has clearly faced tough competition from Saiyaara. Ajay's film earned slightly more than what Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara collected on Monday, which marked its 18th day at the box office. Saiyaara earned ₹1.82 crore, according to the trade tracking site, taking its total box office collection to ₹301.29 crore. Mrunal Thakur, the film's female lead, was seen encouraging viewers to watch the movie in theatres and decide its fate for themselves. When a fan tweeted about the film's mixed reviews on social media, saying, 'The way the reviews are on Instagram and YouTube, I don't even feel like watching it anymore,' Mrunal responded, 'Most of the reviews are misleading… I would appreciate if you decide how YOU LIKE IT SIR!' About Son of Sardaar 2 The sequel to the 2012 hit Son of Sardaar follows the story of Ajay's character, Jassi, who is called to London by his wife (played by Neeru Bajwa), only to be blindsided by her demand for a divorce. Stranded and heartbroken, he crosses paths with Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), a spirited member of an all-girl wedding dhol band. Rabia's younger sister, Saba (Roshni Walia), is in love with the son of the stern and traditional Raja (Ravi Kishan), who insists on meeting her parents before giving his approval. The problem? Saba's parents are no more. To keep the romance alive, Jassi agrees to pose as her father, an ex-army colonel, while Rabia plays the mother. What follows is a hilarious and chaotic ride of twists, emotional beats, and drama. The film received mixed reviews from critics. However, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, and Deepak Dobriyal's performances and comic timing were widely appreciated by both critics and audiences.
