Katy Perry has all but confirmed her relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, joking about her love life during a London concert just days after the pair were photographed together. Meanwhile, Trudeau’s ex-wife Sophie Grégoire appeared to respond indirectly with a heartfelt reflection on love and letting go.
During her Lifetimes World Tour stop at London’s O2 Arena, Perry was caught off guard when a fan proposed mid-performance. Laughing, she quipped, “You heard I was single? That’s interesting.” She then added, “I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago,” a playful nod to the romantic weekend she had just spent with Trudeau. The moment came shortly after the two were spotted kissing and embracing aboard Perry’s yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, fueling headlines about their budding romance.
Perry, 40, also teased the crowd with a remark about her past relationships, saying she often fell for Englishmen but “not anymore,” a clear signal that her attention has shifted. The singer, who recently ended her long-term relationship with actor Orlando Bloom, now appears to be moving forward with Trudeau, 53.
As the story dominated international media, Sophie Grégoire, Trudeau’s former wife, shared a contemplative message on social media. Without naming names, she wrote about the nature of love, emphasizing that “love was never about possession; it was always about presence.” She added that letting go can be a way of keeping, through memory and connection, even in the face of impermanence. Her words were widely interpreted as a graceful response to the news of her ex-husband’s new relationship.
The romance between Perry and Trudeau has been building speculation since the summer, when they were first spotted dining together in Montreal. Their recent public displays of affection, combined with Perry’s onstage comments, have now made the relationship difficult to deny.
For Perry, the timing marks a new chapter both personally and professionally, as she continues her global tour. For Trudeau, who stepped down from politics in 2024, the relationship has placed him back in the spotlight, this time in the realm of celebrity culture rather than political affairs.
