Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau spotted at private Montreal dinner amid splits
Pop icon Katy Perry and Canada's former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have caught fans off guard with a surprise dinner date in Montreal. The outing, which took place on July 28 at the upscale Le Violon restaurant, comes on the heels of both celebrities recently ending long-term relationships — a timing that has the internet speculating.
Animated conversation and lobster for two
Multiple sources confirmed that Perry and Trudeau were seen sharing cocktails and a lobster entrée at a quiet corner table. The two appeared relaxed and engaged, with eyewitnesses noting laughter, attentive body language, and even a visit to the kitchen afterward to thank the staff — a rare move that added to the speculation.
Security reportedly kept a low profile, observing through mirrored glass as the pair enjoyed their evening.
Newly single and keeping close company
Katy Perry, 40, confirmed her split from actor Orlando Bloom earlier this summer. The two had been engaged since 2019 and share a daughter, Daisy Dove. According to reps, the breakup was amicable, and they're committed to co-parenting.
Justin Trudeau, 53, also finalized his separation from wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023, ending a high-profile 18-year marriage. The former PM remains an active public figure and is frequently spotted in Montreal, where he maintains a residence.
The Montreal dinner took place during a pause in Perry's 'Lifetimes Tour,' which included recent stops in Ottawa and Winnipeg. Sources say Trudeau was also in town during the same week, making the dinner logistically possible — and all the more intriguing given their simultaneous re-entries into single life.
Online reactions were swift and wide-ranging. Some fans celebrated the potential pairing as a 'power move,' while others debated whether the encounter was romantic or platonic. The lack of confirmation from either party has only fueled speculation.
'They both have global reach, progressive values, and undeniable charisma,' one fan tweeted. 'I'm here for this if it's real.'
