Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may have stepped down from politics. Still, he's stepping into something much more unexpected, a potential romance with none other than pop superstar Katy Perry.
The internet is in full meltdown mode after the two were spotted enjoying a string of cozy outings in Montreal, just days before Trudeau was seen front and center at Perry's sold-out Lifetimes tour stop.
A Surprise Guest at a Star-Studded Show
It all kicked off Wednesday night at the Bell Centre in Montreal, where Perry brought down the house with her new tour. Among the 21,000 fans in attendance was none other than 53-year-old Trudeau, glowing and grooving alongside his 16-year-old daughter, Ella-Grace.
Fans were quick to notice the former PM not just showing up but dancing, smiling, and even mouthing the lyrics to Perry's hits like "Dark Horse." One photo, now going viral on social media, captured Trudeau locked in full "proud boyfriend" mode as Perry belted out her anthems under a sea of glittering lights.
"Imagine scoring good seats and seeing a former head of state vibing hard at a Katy Perry concert," one fan joked on X. Another quipped, "Wait… is she going to be the president of Canada now?"
Dinner Dates and Park Walks
The sighting comes on the heels of a dinner date that already had the rumor mill spinning. Earlier in the week, Trudeau and Perry were seen dining at Le Violon, one of Montreal's most exclusive eateries. According to sources, the two shared cocktails, lobster, and an animated, private conversation. "They were really engaged — laughing, leaning in close, totally relaxed," a source told TMZ. "They even made a point to thank the chef personally before leaving."
Later that night, the duo reportedly headed to Taverne Atlantic for drinks, where they kept the mood casual but intimate. Just 24 hours later, they were spotted again, taking a low-key stroll through Montreal's scenic Mount Royal Park. There was no PDA, but lots of smiles and what observers described as "genuine chemistry."
Timing That Raises Eyebrows
The buzz about this unexpected pairing couldn't come at a more intriguing time. Katy Perry recently confirmed her split from longtime fiancé Orlando Bloom after nearly a decade together. The couple shares a daughter and stated they "will continue to be seen together as a family" with "mutual respect" as their priority.
Meanwhile, Trudeau announced his resignation earlier this year following a turbulent period in Canadian politics. While he's stepped back from public office, he is stepping into a new phase of life with surprising enthusiasm.
Are They a Match Made in Pop-Politics Heaven?
Social media has already dubbed them "Canada's hottest new couple," and fans are here for it. "They honestly might be good for each other," one tweet read. "She's all sparkle and soul, and he's got that calm charisma."
While neither party has confirmed or denied the romance, their recent public appearances show they are either deepening a friendship, building a new love story, or just a series of well-timed hangouts.
