In a week filled with notable events for both Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry, the estranged couple found themselves in the spotlight for different reasons. While Trudeau spent quality time with his family in Canada, pop sensation Perry hinted at her blossoming romance with the former prime minister during a performance.

The 53-year-old Trudeau was spotted in a cozy moment with Perry aboard the singer’s luxurious 24-meter yacht, the Caravelle, near Santa Barbara, California. Their affectionate display over the weekend has been the subject of much attention.

Meanwhile, Katy Perry, while performing on her Lifetimes world tour in London, faced an unexpected marriage proposal from a fan. She gracefully declined, alluding to her current relationship with Trudeau as the reason for her refusal.

Back in Canada, Trudeau was seen celebrating Thanksgiving with his ex-wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau and their children. The couple, who separated in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage, share three children: sons Xavier, 18, and Hadrien, 11, along with daughter Ella-Grace, 16.

Despite their separation and Trudeau’s new romance, Justin and Sophie demonstrated a commitment to family unity by coming together for the beloved Canadian holiday. Their efforts to maintain a family connection, even amidst personal changes, have not gone unnoticed.

Despite being separated and Justin moving on with Katy, the pair made sure to make the annual Canadian holiday a family occasion.

When proposed to by a fan while on tour in the UK on Monday, Katy laughed: ‘I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago.’

The singer added at the O2 Arena: ‘London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night after a whole day at work and a whole day at school?

‘No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time… but not anymore.’

Katy and Justin kicked off speculation about a budding romance in July when they were spotted having an intimate dinner at Le Violon restaurant in Montreal, just weeks after she announced her split from fiancé Orlando Bloom, 48.

All fell silent… at least until this weekend, when exclusive pictures obtained by the Daily Mail showed the couple kissing and cuddling aboard Katy’s yacht.

A witness who took the snaps last month, said: ‘She pulled up her boat next to a small public whale-watching boat, then they started making out. I didn’t realize who she was with until I saw the tattoo on the guy’s arm and I immediately realized it was Justin Trudeau.’

Following the steamy moment, Justin’s ex-wife Sophie has shared a mysterious message about ‘letting go’ of love in a new social media post.

Television host Sophie, 50, spoke about the art of not holding on to love in a new Instagram post uploaded on Monday.

‘Sometimes we forget that nothing we love is ever meant to be kept,’ she said.

‘The people, the places, even the moments that once felt infinite, right?

‘Time asks us not to cling to them, but yet we do. I do because to hold on feels safer than to let go.’

Sophie continued: ‘But, love was never about possession, it was always about presence. The present moment and when we release what we cannot keep, we make space for the truth of connection, intimacy, the memory, for the lesson.

‘A single smile can echo across a lifetime, grief also lives there. I lost my dad in the past year, and I feel that with grief also comes grace.

‘So maybe, love’s deepest teaching is this: to stand open hearted in the face of impermanence. We honor what has been and to trust that letting go is also a form of keeping inside us where no loss can erase it in a way.’

Sophie split from Justin in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage.

They have two sons, Xavier, 18, and Hadrien, 11, and a daughter, Ella-Grace, 16.

Katy, who has a five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, split from Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando Bloom earlier this year.

She was previously married to comedian Russell Brand from 2010 until 2012.
