Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s romance is still heating up — and the duo plan to ring in 2026 as a couple.
“Justin and Katy will be spending New Year’s together,” an insider exclusively tells Us Weekly of the duo. “They are very smitten and into each other.”
The source notes that Perry, 41, is “really inspired” by the former Canadian prime minister, 54, and is “impressed by his accomplishments,” adding, “He’s a great match for her.”
Perry and Trudeau were first spotted together in July while the pop star was in Canada for her Lifetimes Tour. Two months later, an insider told Us that the pair were planning to be “more private” about their connection but were “still speaking” and were “very interested in each other.”
In October, the twosome held hands in Paris following a date to celebrate Perry’s birthday.
“Katy is really into it. She’s very happy,” a source told Us at the time. “She’s trying to keep it low-key, and they’ve spent a lot of private time together. She’s not looking to publicize this relationship.”
Perry’s romance with Trudeau marks her first public relationship since she split from fiancé Orlando Bloom earlier this year. The “Roar” singer and the actor, 48, confirmed in July that they had ended their engagement after 10 years together.
“Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting,” reps for the pair confirmed in a joint statement to Us at the time. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”
Perry and Bloom share daughter Daisy Dove, 5. Bloom also shares son Flynn, 14, with ex Miranda Kerr.
Earlier this month, Perry and Trudeau made their public debut during a meeting with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
“Former Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau came to Japan with his partner Katy Perry and had lunch with us,” Kishida, 68, wrote via Instagram on December 4. “During my time as Prime Minister, I met Prime Ministers many times, and when I visited Canada, we worked together to strengthen bilateral relations, including formulating the ‘Nikka Action Plan.’ I am glad that we are continuing this friendship.”
After the meeting, Trudeau shared his own social media post, writing via X, “Great to see you @kishida230. Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko. Thank you, Fumio, for your friendship and your continued commitment to both the international rules-based order and to a better future for everyone.”
Perry later shared a carousel of photos and videos from her trip to Tokyo, including a selfie with Trudeau and a video that showed them enjoying uni together. “Tokyo times on tour and more ( ◠‿◠ ) 🎄🍣🐡🥞💐☃️♥️,” she captioned the post.
In another snap, the duo visited TeamLabs to see an intergalactic exhibition.
Prior to his relationship with Perry, Trudeau was married to Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. The duo, who share three children, separated in 2023 after 18 years of marriage.
