Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have turned months of dating rumours into headlines after being spotted sharing an affectionate moment on a yacht off Santa Barbara, California.
Katy Perry And Justin Trudeau Caught Kissing On Camera
The 40-year-old “Teenage Dream” singer and 53-year-old ex-Prime Minister looked cosy as they embraced and kissed on the boat. Their photos have now gone viral across social media. Katy wore a sleek black bathing suit, while Justin went shirtless, showing off the tattoo on his left arm and paired it with jeans.
The images (snapped by a passenger on a passing whale-watching boat) captured the couple in a candid moment. The eyewitness told the Daily Mail, “She pulled up her boat next to a small public whale-watching boat, then they started making out. I didn’t realise who she was with until I saw the tattoo on the guy’s arm, and I immediately realised it was Justin Trudeau.”
Fans and netizens had a lot to say about the unexpected pairing. Check out online comments to their viral kissing photos.
“Thought he was gay. I guess he’s bisexual.”
“If a gay man wanted to stage being straight, do it on top of a yacht for all the photographers to see.”
“His husband is going to be really punchy after this.”
“I didn’t realise Trudeau likes women.”
“I wish they would just sail away and never come back. This is all fake anyway.”
“Katy found a way to get at least one person to sit to watch her miserable performance on stage.”
“Wait! He’s not gay?”
More About Their Dating Rumours And Ex Orlando Bloom’s Reaction
The pair first sparked dating rumours in July 2025, when they were seen having dinner together in Montreal during Katy’s Lifetimes Tour. Justin later attended her concert, adding fuel to the speculation. While they had mostly stayed out of the public eye since then, sources confirmed that they were “interested in each other.”
Meanwhile, Katy’s ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom responded to the headlines with his signature humour. The gossip initially gained traction after a satirical piece by The Onion jokingly suggested Bloom was dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Bloom reacted with a series of clapping emojis on the post, signalling he was taking the jest lightly.
