Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau dating rumors were not on my 2025 bingo card, but then again, neither was the pop star’s sudden split from Orlando Bloom.
And yet, less than a month after Perry and Bloom confirmed the end of their nine-year relationship, the 40-year-old singer was spotted out with the 53-year-old Canadian politician. Neither Perry nor Trudeau have responded to the speculation—which continued after the former Prime Minister of Canada was spotted at Perry’s Lifetimes Tour concert in Montreal—but if Orlanda Bloom is joking about it, the buzz is unlikely to die down anytime soon.
Without further ado, here’s a complete timeline of the Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau relationship rumors.
August 2, 2025: Orlando Bloom is able to find humor in the rumors, based on his response to The Oninon’s satirical post, “Orlando Bloom Spotted At Dinner With Angela Merkel.” Bloom responded to the post with a series of clapping emojis, per the Instagram account, @commentsbycelebs.
The Onion further poked fun at the recent dating rumors with the following Instagram caption:
Just weeks after announcing his split with fiancée Katy Perry, English actor Orlando Bloom was photographed Friday dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “Angela kept Orlando laughing all night—he couldn’t keep his eyes off her!” said an insider source who spotted the pair sipping wine, slurping oysters, and splitting a decadent piece of chocolate layer cake at a Michelin-starred restaurant.
Meawhile, a source tells People that Perry and Trudeau’s “romance” is in its “early stages.”
“Justin is a [politician] who is used to living a secret life with his personal activity, and wouldn’t put on a public display at this stage,” the source says. “He knows they were being watched and is smart enough to play it low-key for now.”
Another source claims “they are interested in each other” but taking things slow. “She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction,” the source says. “They have a lot in common,”
Those commonalities reportedly include music and an optimistic worldview. “Both are idealists and still live in a world where they think they can make improvements, although it has gotten more difficult,” the source says.
July 30, 2025: Rumors don’t stop Trudeau from attending Perry’s concert with his daughter Ella-Grace, per The Daily Mail. Fans at the Montreal show make sure to film Trudeau singing along to songs like “Teenage Dream” and “Firework.”
