Pop sensation Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau officially confirmed months of romance rumors with a public display of affection off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. Exclusive photos obtained by the Daily Mail on Sunday, October 12, show the couple kissing and cuddling aboard Perry’s luxury 24-metre yacht, the Caravelle, during a sunny afternoon at sea.
Katy Perry looked relaxed and radiant in a black swimsuit as she and Trudeau kissed on the upper deck. The two men looked completely at ease, seemingly oblivious to the presence of tourists on a nearby whale-watching boat. At one point, Trudeau was seen affectionately placing his hand on the singer’s lower back as they shared a laugh.
The moment filmed
The intimate photos were allegedly taken by a passenger on a passing tourist boat late last month, while Perry was taking a short break from her Lifetimes world tour. The witness said: “She parked her boat next to a small whale watching boat and then they started kissing. I didn’t realize who she was with until I saw the tattoo on the guy’s arm, that’s when I knew it was Justin Trudeau.”
Trudeau’s distinctive Haida raven tattoo, a tribute to a Canadian indigenous community known for its art and maritime heritage, confirmed his identity. The former leader resigned earlier this year after serving as Canada’s prime minister for nearly a decade.
How did Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s relationship begin?
The couple first sparked dating rumors in July, when they were spotted having an intimate dinner at Le Violon restaurant in Montreal. Until now, both had remained silent about their relationship. According to previous reports, sources close to the duo said they were “in the very early stages of exploring a romance.”
A source told the Daily Mail: “Katy is very, very interested in him. She says he’s a real asset, a high quality guy. She clearly likes him a lot. He likes her a lot.”
Both stars have recently experienced major relationship changes. Trudeau separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. The couple shares three children: Xavier (18 years old), Ella-Grace (16 years old) and Hadrien (11 years old).
Meanwhile, Perry shares five-year-old daughter Daisy Dove with actor Orlando Bloom, from whom she split earlier this year.
