Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are raising eyebrows after stepping out for dinner together in Montreal, just weeks after both called it quits in their high-profile relationships.
The pop superstar, 40, and the former Canadian prime minister, 53, were spotted dining at Le Violon in Montreal on Monday, July 28, where they reportedly enjoyed cocktails and seafood, including a dish featuring lobster.
Sources told PEOPLE that the two weren’t shy about being seen, even heading into the kitchen after their meal to thank the staff and meet with Chef Danny Smiles. The duo looked relaxed as they dined in one of the city’s charming neighborhood spots, enjoying good food and company in what many are calling a post-breakup soft launch.
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau hanging out together comes just one month after Perry confirmed her split from actor Orlando Bloom, 48. The couple, known for their rollercoaster romance over the past nine years, officially ended their engagement in June. They got engaged back in 2019 after years of dating on and off, but a rep confirmed their breakup, saying the two had been “shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting.”
The couple shares daughter Daisy Dove, and both Perry and Bloom have made it clear their priority now is raising her in a healthy, collaborative environment.
Justin Trudeau, on the other hand, separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire nearly a year ago in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. The couple announced their split with matching statements in both English and French. Trudeau wrote on Instagram at the time, “Sophie and I would like to share the fact that after many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate.” He added that despite the breakup, they remain “a close family with deep love and respect for each other,” especially for the sake of their three children, Xavier, 17, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrien, 11.
Now, seeing Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau together, both high-profile figures coming out of long relationships, has sparked curiosity and, naturally, the internet’s full attention. While there’s no confirmation of anything romantic between them just yet, fans and media alike are already speculating. After all, this cozy dinner outing came just a month after Perry’s split from Bloom and less than a year after Trudeau’s separation was made public.
Neither Perry’s nor Trudeau’s representatives have commented on the nature of the dinner, but the sighting was confirmed by multiple sources, including TMZ. The two reportedly had a laid-back evening full of laughs, cocktails, and fresh local fare, hard not to notice when two of the world’s most recognizable names are sharing a table.
For now, there’s no telling if this is just a friendship or the beginning of something more, but one thing’s for sure, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau know how to turn heads without even trying. Whether it was just a friendly catch-up or a new connection, they’ve officially set off dating rumor alarms, and fans are watching closely.
