In a scene no one saw coming, pop icon Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were spotted sharing a passionate kiss aboard Perry’s luxury yacht, sending shockwaves through fans and the media alike.
Katy Perry and former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau were spotted kissing while on a yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara in late September, as seen in photos obtained by the Daily Mail on Saturday, Oct. 11.
Witnesses said Perry looked stunning in a sleek one-piece swimsuit, while Trudeau kept things casual in jeans during the September getaway. The pair appeared deeply affectionate on the yacht’s deck, with Trudeau seen embracing Perry as they shared an intimate moment.
A startled tourist on a nearby whale-watching boat captured the moment after recognizing Trudeau by his distinctive tattoo. “I didn’t realize who she was with until I saw the tattoo on the guy’s arm,” the witness said. “Then it hit me — that was Justin Trudeau.”
Rumors of a connection between the two first surfaced in July when they were spotted enjoying a private dinner in Montreal. Weeks later, Trudeau was seen attending one of Perry’s sold-out Lifetimes tour shows in Canada, fueling speculation that a new power couple was in the making.
However, insiders now say the summer spark may have already cooled. “They texted constantly for a while, but both are busy — it’s not serious,” a source close to the pair revealed.
Perry recently ended her decade-long relationship with actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares a 5-year-old daughter, Daisy. Trudeau separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023 after 18 years of marriage and 3 children.
