Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s rumored romance seems to have taken a step back, primarily due to her busy schedule and the pressures that arise from dating a well-known figure like Trudeau.
Recent reports indicate that their communication has significantly decreased over the past two weeks. This shift followed their intimate dinner in Montreal last month, which caught media attention, and Trudeau’s subsequent appearance at one of Perry’s concert stops in Canada.
An insider mentioned, “She’s busy, he’s busy. They’ve had a lot going on, and the initial excitement seems to have faded.” They went on to clarify that while things have changed, it’s not necessarily negative. “They’re not in constant touch anymore. It’s a bit sobering, but things could always shift,” the source added.
Trudeau is said to have been taken aback by the intense focus following their date. “I know Justin wasn’t thrilled about the photos surfacing,” shared a source, highlighting his surprise at the media frenzy during what was supposed to be a simple first date. “He wasn’t really ready for all the attention that comes with dating Katy,” the insider explained, noting that it can be quite overwhelming.
After the dinner, Trudeau still attended Perry’s concert with her daughter, Ella Grace, indicating that he didn’t shy away from the spotlight, despite feeling the pressure.
Another source clarified that the two are now just friends. “Katy isn’t looking to date anyone right now. She’s focused on healing after her separation from Orlando,” they said. While their connection was unexpected, it seems they struck up an “instant connection” initially. “They are both interested in each other, but there’s a lot to navigate,” the source observed. Perry often travels, and Trudeau, no longer serving as prime minister, is contemplating his next steps in life.
It was noted that their shared experiences are what attracted them to each other, but for now, the two are simply friends. Trudeau had recently separated from his wife, Sophie Grégoire, after nearly two decades together, and they share three children. Perry and Bloom also confirmed their split, having been together for nearly ten years and sharing a daughter.
