After months of whispered sightings -- from Montreal strolls to a sun-drenched yacht -- singer Katy Perry and former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau stepped out together in Paris on her 41st birthday, turning speculation into a dazzling public confirmation of their romance.
According to a report by The Times of India, Perry and Trudeau were seen leaving the cabaret venue Crazy Horse Paris, holding hands and smiling as fans gathered outside singing Happy Birthday to the pop star.
Trudeau, dressed in a black suit, was spotted escorting Perry -- glowing in a red gown -- to their car as cameras flashed, sealing their public debut as a couple.
The report said rumours first took off on Jul 28, when the two were seen spending the day together at Mount Royal Park in Montreal.
TMZ captured photos of them laughing and walking side by side before dining at Le Violon. Danny Smiles, the restaurant’s co-owner and chef, told the outlet that while the pair appeared close, there were “no romantic gestures,” just two friends sharing a meal.
Later, they were spotted grabbing drinks at Taverne Atlantic, a move that sent the internet into overdrive.
It read that just two days later, on Jul 30, Trudeau attended Perry’s Lifetimes Tour concert in Montreal, with fans filming him singing along to Firework beside his daughter Ella-Grace. That sighting intensified speculation, as the former PM’s presence in the crowd was seen as more than friendly support.
By early August, People magazine confirmed that Perry and Trudeau’s relationship was in its “early stages.”
A source told the outlet that they “are interested in each other” but balancing their busy lives and parental responsibilities could slow things down.
In September, Us Weekly reported that the two had decided to keep their relationship more private, though they remained in close contact. “They’ve decided to be much more discreet,” the magazine quoted a source as saying.
However, it added that their romance became undeniable on Oct 11, when the Daily Mail published photos of Perry and Trudeau kissing aboard her yacht, The Caravelle, off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. The images, which quickly went viral, confirmed what had been weeks of speculation.
The report read that Perry appeared to reference the relationship days later during her concert in London, teasing a fan’s marriage proposal by saying, “You really should have asked me about 48 hours ago,” a clear nod to the yacht photos.
Finally, the couple went public on Oct 25, as Perry celebrated her birthday in Paris.
