Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau Turn Heads in Tokyo as Their Romance Sizzles
Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed that their headline-grabbing romance is still going strong, holding hands while exploring Tokyo during the pop star’s Japanese tour dates.
The couple was spotted strolling through Asakusa, one of Tokyo’s most historic and tourist-favorite districts, blending sightseeing with a low-key evening out. Later, they enjoyed dinner at Asakusa Sumo Stable ANNEX, a restaurant known for live sumo wrestling matches inside an actual ring. Sources say the pair savored traditional Japanese dishes while watching the athletes in action.
From Rumors to Public Appearances
Perry, 41, and Trudeau, 53, first sparked dating rumors in July following the singer’s split from ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom, 48. After weeks of speculation, the duo officially debuted as a couple in September in Paris, stepping out hand-in-hand during a romantic evening.
An insider told People that Perry and Trudeau have been “making plans for the holidays” while Perry navigates a whirlwind schedule finishing her Lifetimes Tour.
“Without exaggeration, this year has been a whirlwind for her. She hasn’t even had time to really think about her life after the tour,” the source shared.
Despite the excitement of her romance with Trudeau, Perry remains focused on her five-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, whom she shares with Bloom.
“She’s a single mom now, and a lot of that will come into focus next year,” the insider said.
Sparks Fly Between Perry and Trudeau
The source added that Perry is excited by Trudeau and is having a lot of fun with him, surprised at how quickly she connected with someone new.
“Justin keeps making a big effort to see her, and she’s excited about it. [She has] a lot of fun with him. It’s exactly what she needs right now,” they said.
For Trudeau, the relationship seems to have brought a sense of ease and happiness.
“He is a much happier person now. Stresses are greatly diminished. And he is intrigued with Katy. They have fun together, laugh a lot, talk about everything,” the source explained.
Public Sightings and Chemistry
Their bond first made headlines earlier this year when they were seen enjoying an intimate outing in Canada during Perry’s tour stop. Trudeau was later spotted in the crowd at her Montreal show. Their chemistry became even more visible during a viral yacht trip where the pair shared a steamy kiss.
Although they initially kept their relationship private, insiders confirmed the couple remained very interested in each other, ultimately choosing Perry’s 41st birthday celebration in Paris on October 25 to publicly debut their romance.
Life Before the Romance
Perry’s relationship with Trudeau follows her split from Bloom, whom she dated since 2016 and became engaged to on Valentine’s Day 2019. The pair welcomed their daughter Daisy in August 2020. Bloom also has a 14-year-old son, Flynn, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr, 42.
Representatives for Perry and Bloom told DailyMail.com that the exes had shifted their relationship toward co-parenting, remaining focused on raising Daisy with love, stability, and mutual respect.
“They will continue to be seen together as a family… their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect,” they said.
Perry was previously married to comedian Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012. Trudeau, meanwhile, announced his separation from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023 after 18 years of marriage. The former couple share three children and he served as Canada’s prime minister from 2015 until March 2025.
