After a few months of teasing a romance filled with yachts and lobster, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s summer fling has made it to the end of the year. They are dating and thriving in cuffing season, internationally even! Now that they’re official — like photos with political leaders official — the world is their oyster. And caviar. And whatever other chic seafood they may dine on. Pap photos are second to an Instagram hard launch on the celebrity scale. Here’s everything that’s gone on between Perry and Trudeau so far, including their visit to Japan.
July 28, 2025: For the first hints of a romance, Perry and Trudeau were spotted walking a dog and getting dinner in Montreal.
July 30, 2025: He’s supportive! Trudeau came out to one of Perry’s shows in Montreal and got to see her flip and spin without any mishaps. Maybe he’s her good-luck charm.
October 12, 2025: She kissed an ex–prime minister, and she liked it. The two were making out on a yacht in Santa Barbara.
October 13, 2025: During Perry’s concert in London, Perry brought a fan up onstage who told her, “I heard you were single,” as he pulled out a sign that said, “Will you marry me?” and got down on one knee. “You heard I was single? That’s interesting,” Perry replied as the crowd laughed. “You really should’ve asked me about 48 hours ago,” she joked. So, they’re boyfriend-girlfriend now?
October 25, 2025: Okay, yeah, they’re publicly dating now. The duo made their first public appearance while holding hands for Perry’s birthday at the Crazy Horse Paris. What else could an international relationship hold going into the fall and winter?
October 28, 2025: Perry soft launches Trudeau on her Instagram. He’s seen in the background of a video where Perry throws her birthday cake.
October 31, 2025: Instagram is for lovers. For Halloween, Trudeau posted a photo of himself dressed as the left shark, referencing Perry’s 2015 Super Bowl halftime performance, when her dancing sharks stole the show.
December 4, 2025: Trudeau and Perry had a double date with the former Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida, and his wife, Yuko Wada. In his thank you post to Trudeau, Kishida referred to Perry as his partner and like a true gentleman, the Canadian PM named her in his reply. She is the Katy Perry, after all.
