Romance was in the air on the sun-soaked beaches of Saint-Tropez.
Katy Perry and her boyfriend of one year, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, were spotted holding hands and sharing a passionate kiss during a beach outing in the South of France last Thursday.
The 41-year-old Firework singer looked effortlessly stylish in a cream strapless one-piece swimsuit, pairing the sleek beach look with a tan bucket hat.
At times, Perry added a matching crocheted eyelet cape draped around her shoulders, giving the seaside ensemble a polished vacation feel.
She completed the look with cat-eye sunglasses as she enjoyed the summer day along the French Riviera.
Trudeau, 54, kept things classic for the beach in navy blue swim trunks finished with white trim.

The lovebirds were first romantically linked in July 2025 before going Instagram official in December.
The hitmaker split from ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares daughter Daisy – who will turn six later this month – last year.
The exes confirmed their breakup in July 2025, after swirling speculation about their relationship status.
The pair – who amicably vacationed together with their daughter last summer – began dating in 2016 and got engaged on Valentine’s Day 2019.
Amid news of the breakup last year, representatives for Perry and Bloom told the Daily Mail they had ‘been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting.’
‘They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect,’ said the insiders.
Perry and Trudeau made their red carpet debut at the 25th Annual Tribeca Festival in June 2026, attending the premiere of the concert film Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris.
The pop music sensation mentioned her relationship at the event, telling People: ‘I feel like a more grounded person in so many aspects of my life.
‘I am very in love. And actually, that show was after I met the love of my life and so I felt very anchored by that because I’m a little bit like a rainbow kite.’

Trudeau was prime minister of Canada from 2015 to March 2025.
He announced his separation from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau after 18 years of marriage in 2023. The exes share three kids: son Xavier, 18, daughter Ella-Grace, 17, and son Hadrien, 12.
Earlier this year Xavier expressed approval of his father’s highly publicized romance with Perry.
A budding musician, the teen revealed that Perry helps him musically as he asks for her advice about songs he’s working on.
Speaking on the Can’t Be Censored podcast, he said: ‘When I’m really happy with a song I send it to her. She’s always happy to give me advice or tell me what I should change.
‘She’s super nice. She’s super down to earth. She’s great. I think that my dad’s happy so that’s important.’
Xavier added that he is ‘used’ to the noise that comes with his father dating a famous person after growing up in the public eye.
He said that seeing a photo of his father and his new girlfriend together is ‘just like any other picture of my dad and my mom. Or just my dad.’

Perry has also dated the likes of John Mayer and Gym Class Heroes rapper Travie McCoy.
Her ex Bloom has moved on with 28-year-old model Luisa Laemmel.
He was formerly married to Miranda Kerr, and they share 15-year-old son Flynn.
