Justin Trudeau hard launches Katy Perry after unexpected high-profile event together
Weeks after Katy Perry first went Insta-official with new beau Justin Trudeau, the ex-Canadian prime minister has hard launched the singer right back.
For those out of the loop, Perry, 41, and 53-year-old Trudeau were first linked romantically back in July of last year, with TMZ releasing a snap of the pair enjoying a meal together at a 'swanky' Montreal restaurant.
Now long after, the A-list pair were spotted locking lips on a yacht, with a source close to the politician telling press 'they click very well so far'.
News of their romance came just weeks after the 'Firework' singer's split from actor Orlando Bloom - with whom she shares a daughter - first hit headlines.

Trudeau, meanwhile, had been single since his 2023 divorce from with ex-wife Sophie after 18 years.
In the months that followed, the couple became something of an item, being photographed and filmed together regularly - including whilst holding hands in Paris, France back in October, where they celebrated Perry's 41st birthday.
Despite the paparazzi confirming their romance, neither of the two stars actually shared a photograph alongside the other on Instagram until December, when Perry included Trudeau in several photos of a dump from a trip to Japan, captioned: "Tokyo times on tour and more."
In one black and white pic, they could be seen cosying up in a smiley selfie together, appearing to be 'cheers-ing' with some sushi rolls. In another, they posed before an autumnal background.
It would take another month, however, for the Canadian to return the favour - which he finally did, this week.
On Monday (26 Jan), Trudeau - who shares three children with ex-wife Sophie - took to Instagram, where he shared an array of images from his recent appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The get-together describes an annual, non-governmental organisation that meets to 'improve the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas'.
The sixth photo included in the ex-PM's political dump saw he and Perry sat alongside one another during what appears to be a small conference.
Trudeau captioned the collection: "Spent a few days at the World Economic Forum talking about soft power and hard power, with further discussions on democracy, AI, women’s rights, economic growth, and Ukraine.
"An important way to stand strong in the face of hard power (military threats and economic coercion) is to double down on soft power (persuading and connecting people through culture, values, and diplomacy)."
He added: "Thanks for having me back, Davos."
By the sound of fan reaction, followers of the big-name pair couldn't have been more thrilled to see Trudeau finally bite the bullet and go public with his other-half, with one X user gushing: "He finally posted her awww he’s not embarrassed of mother!"
Another pleaded: "Take care of her, she is precious."
Unfortunately, however, Perry's appearance at the high-stakes meet-up didn't go down too well with some onlookers - especially after it emerged that she'd sat in on a speech delivered by Trudeau on environmental protections in trade.
Critics were quick to point out that in April last year, the pop icon was launched into space on one of billionaire Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space tourism flights back in April, alongside a stream of stars.
"In April 2025 Katy Perry burned 498 tons of fuel to do space tourism," one wrote online. "Today she arrived in Davos to raise awareness about the 'environment.'"
(It's important to note here, however, that such a claim hasn't yet been substantiated, given that the Blue Origin New Shepard rocket is supposedly green and Bezos previously claiming it has no carbon emissions.)
Another user fumed: "Anyone who still supports her a** is genuinely supporting immoralities too."
"Can't make this sh*t up," a third added.
