Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have ignited a wave of speculation after being spotted dining together in Montreal, prompting fans to wonder: is this a new power couple in the making?
The “Firework” singer, 39, and Canada’s former Prime Minister, 52, were seen enjoying an intimate dinner on Monday night at Le Violon, one of Montreal’s most exclusive eateries. The sighting comes just months after Perry confirmed her split from actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she had been in a relationship for nine years.
Trudeau, who separated from wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023 after 18 years of marriage, has largely stayed out of the dating spotlight, until now.
Photos from the evening show Perry and Trudeau in deep conversation, sharing smiles and appearing completely engrossed in each other’s company. According to a report by TMZ, the pair dined on lobster, sipped cocktails, and later visited the kitchen to personally thank the staff, a move that speaks volumes about their relaxed and friendly rapport.
Le Violon’s head chef Danny Smiles told TMZ that while the meeting drew attention, it felt more like a dinner between friends than a romantic rendezvous. He also revealed that Trudeau picked up the tab, adding a touch of old-fashioned charm to the evening.
While representatives for both Perry and Trudeau have yet to comment, fans on social media were quick to theorize about the nature of their relationship.
“Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau? That’s a plot twist I didn’t see coming!” one user wrote on X.
“Imagine the dinner conversation between those two, pop politics and pop hits!” joked another.

The dinner comes during Perry’s Canadian tour, with Montreal being one of her key stops. She’s been seen around the city in recent days, mingling with fans and enjoying local hotspots. Trudeau, who stepped down as Prime Minister in 2025, has kept a relatively low profile but remains a prominent figure both in Canada and internationally.
While it’s too soon to call it a romance, the pairing of Perry and Trudeau has certainly piqued public interest. Both are charismatic, globally recognised, and coming out of long-term relationships, and in the world of celebrity culture, that’s more than enough to set tongues wagging.
