Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau Spark Romance Buzz With Yacht Kiss After Orlando Bloom Split

Pop superstar Katy Perry appears to have found new love in an unexpected place — with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The two were photographed sharing a kiss aboard Perry’s private yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, fueling growing speculation about their rumored relationship.

Katy Perry, 40, and Justin Trudeau, 53, were seen embracing over the weekend. A witness claimed the pair “started making out” as Perry’s yacht pulled alongside a whale-watching boat.  Representatives for both Perry and Trudeau have yet to comment, but the timing of the sighting has ignited headlines across the globe. The rumored couple were first spotted together dining at Montreal’s Le Violon restaurant in late July. The following evening, Trudeau attended Perry’s concert in the city alongside his teenage daughter — further fanning the flames of speculation.

A New Chapter for Both Stars

Katy Perry’s blossoming connection with Justin Trudeau comes just months after she and Orlando Bloom announced their separation in July 2025. The former couple, who share five-year-old daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, said in a joint statement that they would remain committed to co-parenting “with love, stability, and mutual respect.”

Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau separated from his wife of 18 years, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, in August 2023. The pair, who share three children — Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien — divorced shortly before Trudeau stepped down as prime minister after a decade in office earlier this year.

A source previously said that Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are “interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes,” adding that both are navigating major life transitions. “She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer Prime Minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common.”

Public Reaction and Global Buzz

Social media erupted as photos of the pair circulated, with fans expressing both surprise and amusement at the unlikely pairing. Many noted the duo’s shared interests in philanthropy and global advocacy — Perry as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and Trudeau as a long-time supporter of climate and gender equality initiatives.

Whether it’s a summer fling or the beginning of a lasting romance, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s yacht-side kiss has officially set the internet ablaze — marking one of 2025’s most unexpected celebrity love stories yet.
