Santa Barbara, California, USA: Pop sensation Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have reignited dating rumours after being photographed sharing intimate moments aboard a yacht in California. The viral photos, which show the two embracing and kissing, surfaced months after their first public appearance together in Montreal.
The new pictures, taken in Santa Barbara, California, seem to confirm growing speculation about their relationship. Perry and Trudeau appeared relaxed and affectionate, enjoying a quiet afternoon on the water — seemingly putting months of whispers about their connection to rest.
Their latest sighting follows earlier claims that the two had drifted apart, with insiders suggesting that Trudeau felt uneasy about the intense media scrutiny following their dinner outing in Montreal. However, these fresh images tell a different story, showing the pair looking close and comfortable in each other’s company.
In the viral snaps circulating online, Perry is seen wearing a black swimsuit while sharing a kiss with a shirtless Trudeau. Other pictures capture the duo hugging and laughing, with Trudeau seen gently kissing the singer on the cheek.
An eyewitness told The Daily Mail, “She docked her yacht beside a small whale-watching boat, and suddenly they began kissing. I didn’t realise who the man was until I noticed his tattoo — that’s when I realised it was Justin Trudeau.”
Rumours of their romance first began in July 2025, when they were seen dining together in Montreal. Not long after, Trudeau attended one of Perry’s sold-out concerts during her ‘Lifetimes’ tour in Canada, further fueling the speculation.
On a personal note, Katy Perry recently ended her long-term engagement with actor Orlando Bloom in June 2025, after seven years together. The two continue to co-parent their daughter, Daisy Dove, who was born in August 2020.
Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau announced his separation from wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau in August 2023 following 18 years of marriage. They share three children — Xavier (17), Ella-Grace (16), and Hadrien (11).
