Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau spark romance rumours
People recently saw the two together in Montreal, igniting romance rumours that have captured global attention.
A close insider said that Katy Perry, 40, and Trudeau, 53, share a strong attraction. 'They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes,' the source said, according to Page Six.
'She is travelling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer the prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common.'
Music is among the mutual interests both share.
An insider noted, 'Both are idealists who still live in a world where they believe they can make improvements, even though it has become more difficult.'
The couple's busy lives and parenting duties could slow down any blossoming relationship. Trudeau separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023 after 18 years of marriage.
They share three children aged 17, 16, and 11.
Katy Perry is a mother to four-year-old Daisy, whom she shares with actor Orlando Bloom, from whom she recently split after 10 years together.
The insider remarked that having involved ex-partners is an advantage. 'For one thing, they each have an ex.
So, duties are split in half. And long-distance relationships, while still hard, are possible for these two'.
The pair were first spotted dining together at an upscale Montreal restaurant, Le Violon, on 28 July. There was no overt public display of affection, but their interaction raised eyebrows.
Trudeau was also seen front and centre at Katy Perry's sold-out Lifetimes Tour concert in Montreal days later. He was cheering her on from the crowd in a casual black T-shirt.
Justin Trudeau's relationships have long attracted media scrutiny, but this marks his first significant romance speculation since leaving office early in 2025.
Their story highlights the universal complexities of managing high-profile personal lives amidst demanding careers and family commitments.
The narrative of finding shared values and optimism amid busy schedules resonates worldwide.
Their story also reminds us that even celebrities and politicians navigate the delicate balance of love, parenting, and public life.
The current exchange between Perry and Trudeau remains in its early stages, with careful steps taken to manage private lives under a public gaze. Only time will tell if this connection will develop into a deeper relationship.

Minnie Dlamini sues MacG and Sol for millions
In April 2025, podcast MacGyver 'MacG' Mukwevho made some offensive remarks about Minnie Dlamini following her split from Dr. Brian Monaisa. These comments led to significant backlash, with many accusing him of misogyny and demanding he be held accountable. Although MacG issued an apology in May 2025, Minnie Dlamini has chosen to take legal action against the podcast duo. She is seeking millions in damages. In April 2025, MacG made controversial comments regarding Minnie Dlamini's break-up with Dr. Brian Monaisa. The podcast host made unsavoury comments regarding the television personality's hygiene and her ability to maintain relationships. These remarks ignited significant backlash, with many accusing the podcast host of misogyny. Groups like Women For Change and notable figures such as Deputy Minister Mmapaseka Steve Lestike demanded MacG be accountable for his comments. In response to the uproar, MacG issued a public apology in May 2025. Furthermore, he extended an invitation to Minnie Dlamini to join his podcast for a discussion. The podcast host said the following: I want to apologise, first and foremost to all the female chillers, and women in general SA I might have offended with that comment. That was not the intention. We never say things to offend people. I want to extend an invite to Minnie Dlamini to the show. You are more than welcome to come. This thing started on the podcast, let's end it on the podcast. She said some things, I said some things. Let's squash it once and for all. Dlamini, however, declined, labelling the apology insufficient. She went on to state that the comments MacG made were indicative of the show's ongoing pattern of misogynistic content. Minnie Dlamini has initiated a R2.5 million lawsuit against MacG and Sol in the Equality Court. The television personality claims the podcast duo engaged in hate speech, unfair discrimination, and gender-based harassment. She contends that their comments have undermined her dignity and violated her human constitutional rights, which appears to be a frequent occurrence on the podcast. In her case, Dlamini highlights previous episodes from 2022 where MacG allegedly accused her of cheating and made degrading comparisons to reality star Zodwa Wabantu. This pattern of remarks, she argues, has contributed to a hostile environment that she can no longer tolerate. Dlamini highlights that her lawsuit goes beyond her and is about t safeguarding the dignity of women in the media. The lawsuit that emerged on 3 August 2025 has attracted considerable attention from the public. Reactions are divided: some people rally behind Dlamini's fight against misogyny, while others defend MacG, arguing the lawsuit is merely an overreaction or a means to get money. This case seems to highlight an issue regarding the unregulated nature of the podcast industry. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.
