Former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida shared a moment on social media, posting about a lunch with the couple and referring to the pop star as Trudeau’s “partner.”
TOKYO, Japan — Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have confirmed their relationship rumors by going Instagram official on Saturday.
While on her ongoing Lifetimes Tour in Japan, Perry posted a series of photos and videos on Instagram. The collection included images of food, quirky items, and candid clips of her with Trudeau.
The post was captioned, “tokyo times on tour and more ( ◠‿◠ ) 🎄🍣🐡🥞💐☃️♥️,” reflecting the couple’s playful spirit.
Among the images was a charming selfie of the pair, smiling as they stood cheek to cheek.
The couple also enjoyed a meal with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, where Kishida fondly referred to Perry as Trudeau’s “partner.”
The four took a photo together in front of a Christmas tree, which Kishida posted to X.
“Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko,” Trudeau replied to the photo on social media.
The appearance together comes after the duo was spotted having dinner in Montreal in July and celebrating the pop star’s birthday in October while in Paris, France.
Perry split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom in July. Trudeau and his ex-wife Sophie Grégoire separated in 2023.
Trudeau announced his resignation as Canada’s prime minister earlier this year after nearly a decade in power. His father, late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was a bachelor when he became prime minister. He dated actresses Barbra Streisand and Kim Cattrall and married a 22-year-old woman while in office at age 51.
Born and raised in California, Perry is a 13-time Grammy Award nominee. She helped usher in the sound of ’00s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems. She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010’s sugar-sweet “Teenage Dream.” The album produced five No. 1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson’s 1987 album “Bad.”
Neither Trudeau or Perry have publicly commented further on their rumored relationship.
