Katy Perry recently stepped into an entirely different spotlight as she joined her partner, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, for a diplomatic luncheon in Japan. The meeting took place on December 3 in Tokyo, where former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yuko, hosted the pair. Kishida later shared a photograph of the four standing before a festive Christmas tree—an image that quickly drew global attention, as it marked Perry’s first appearance in an official political setting alongside Trudeau.
In his post, Kishida referred to Perry as Trudeau’s partner and reflected on the warm relationship he built with Trudeau during their years in office, particularly their work in strengthening Japan–Canada relations. He expressed his happiness that their friendship continues even after their political roles shifted. Trudeau reposted the message with gratitude, thanking Kishida for the meeting and acknowledging his ongoing dedication to international cooperation and a stable world order.
Perry and Trudeau were first romantically linked in July after the singer ended her nine-year, on-and-off relationship with actor Orlando Bloom. Perry and Bloom continue to co-parent their daughter, Daisy Dove. Trudeau, meanwhile, shares three children—Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien—with ex-wife Sophie Grégoire, from whom he separated in 2023.

Speculation about Perry and Trudeau’s relationship intensified after the two were photographed sharing a kiss on a yacht in Santa Barbara. The pair confirmed their romance publicly during Perry’s birthday in October, when they made their first official appearance at the iconic Crazy Horse Paris cabaret.
According to a source quoted by People, the couple has grown notably closer in recent months. Trudeau has been making a consistent effort to spend time with Perry, and the singer is said to be “having a lot of fun” as they prepare for the holiday season together.
