Inside Justin Trudeau’s Dating History As the Former Prime Minister Gets Cozy With Katy Perry

Justin Trudeau might be trading in politics for pop royalty—at least when it comes to his dinner dates. The former Canadian Prime Minister, who split from his wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023, was recently spotted in Montreal enjoying an intimate evening with none other than Katy Perry. From scenic strolls to whispered conversations over lobster and whiskey, the unexpected pairing has fans buzzing about a possible new romance.

But before this A-list hangout grabbed headlines, Trudeau’s love life was primarily defined by his high-profile marriage to Grégoire. Here’s a closer look at his relationship history—and what might be next.

While Trudeau typically keeps his private life under wraps, his relationship with Sophie Grégoire was very much in the public spotlight. The two first met as kids in Montreal, with Grégoire being a close friend of Justin’s younger brother Michel. It wasn’t until 2003, though, that sparks flew when the pair reconnected at a charity event.

According to US Weekly, they began dating soon after, got engaged in 2004, and tied the knot in 2005. Over their 18-year marriage, the couple welcomed three children—Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien—and became one of Canada’s most prominent public duos.

In August 2023, the pair announced their separation in a joint statement posted to Instagram:

“After many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate,” Trudeau wrote. “We remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built.”

Grégoire later spoke candidly about the split during an appearance on Katie Couric’s Next Question podcast. “It hurts deeply,” she said. “But life happens in between… We dramatize our relationships because we are insecure, we are afraid to be abandoned.”

Since the breakup, Grégoire has moved on with Ottawa surgeon Marcos Bettolli—while Trudeau had remained publicly single. Until now.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s Cozy Montreal Outing Sparks Romance Rumors

TMZ recently caught Trudeau sharing a candlelit dinner with Katy Perry at upscale Montreal eatery Le Violon. According to sources, the duo looked “deep in conversation,” sharing cocktails and dishes—including lobster—while security discreetly monitored the scene from the bar.

Later that evening, the two were spotted again at Taverne Atlantic, a trendy bar nearby. Eyewitnesses claimed Trudeau’s arm was “practically welded to Katy’s waist” as they exited together.

Perry, known for her playful spirit, reportedly asked for a Jack and Coke but had to pivot to Crown Royal after learning about local liquor tariffs—adding another uniquely Canadian twist to the evening.

The night reportedly began with a low-key stroll through a nearby park, fueling speculation that this could be more than just a friendly hangout.

Neither Perry nor Trudeau has commented publicly in the status of their relationship.
