Baby I’m a… Diplomat? Katy Perry poses with former prime minister in Japan as Trudeau ‘hard launches’ relationship

In a hilarious clash of pop culture and politics, Katy Perry and the former Prime Minister of Canada have made their relationship official in the funniest way: a Christmas photo with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yuko. Trudeau wrote on X, “Great to see you [Fumio Kishida]. Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko.” Kishida referred to Perry as Trudeau's partner in his own post, stating, “Former Canadian Prime Minister JustinTrudeau visited Japan with his partner and joined my wife and me for lunch.”

“During his time as prime minister, we met multiple times as fellow leaders, and when I visited Canada, we worked together to strengthen bilateral relations, including formulating the ‘Japan-Canada Action Plan,' sweating it out side by side. I am delighted that we continue to maintain this friendship in this way.”

Summer lovin'

Perry and Trudeau first sparked romance rumors over the summer, when they were spotted on a date in Montreal, Canada. Since then, the pair have been seen in Paris for Perry's birthday, and now it looks like they're official. According to a source reporting to People, Trudeau had “been pursuing” the Grammy nominee since their date in Montreal and reportedly flew to California to see the singer before their date in Paris. When an audience member proposed to Perry at a show on October 31, Perry replied, “No, I'm dating someone else.”

Justin Trudeau served as prime minister of Canada from 2015 to 2025 and was previously married to Sophie Grégoire before the couple split up in the summer of 2023. They share three children and were married for 18 years. Perry was previously in a long-term relationship with actor Orlando Bloom. The pair, who were together for a decade, share a daughter born in 2020.
