Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reportedly dating pop star Katy Perry , raising questions about whether the romance signals a mid-life crisis for the ex-leader.
The Daily Mail recently shared intimate photographs of the couple on a yacht near Santa Barbara, with Trudeau wearing only a pair of jeans, Perry in a black swimsuit, and both engaging in PDA.
“Dating Katy may just be Justin’s answer to going to Burning Man,” a Canadian society source told Page Six. “It’s a bit of a midlife crisis.”
Trudeau resigned from office in January after a decade leading the country, following the end of his 18-year marriage to Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau in August 2023.
Trudeau's relationship with Perry may be a way for him to enjoy life outside politics according to some critics. “He is sowing his oats all over again,” the society source said. “He’s free from the ties of office and his marriage.”
The couple was first seen dining in Montreal in July, and Trudeau later attended Perry’s concert with his daughter, Ella-Grace.
Perry also seemed to hint at her new romance during a London concert when a fan proposed on stage. She said, “No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time — but not anymore. You know, you really should have asked me about 48 hours ago.”
Furthermore, an insider told PEOPLE that “when Katy first hung out with Justin, she wasn’t looking to date, but they stayed in touch. They have many shared interests and a lot to talk about, but Katy was navigating too many things to even think about dating then.”
According to the source, the ex-Canadian PM “even flew to California to see her during a tour break. They have an easy connection. She finds him attractive. He’s been very respectful," the PEOPLE's source added.
Neither Perry nor Trudeau has publicly confirmed their relationship.
