Pop star Katy Perry and Canadian leader Justin Trudeau stepped out together in Paris on October 25 to mark Perry’s 41st birthday, making their first official appearance as a couple at the famed cabaret venue Crazy Horse Paris.

Arriving arm-in-arm after the show, Perry and Trudeau drew attention with their contrasting styles Perry in a bold red dress and Trudeau in a sleek all-black ensemble smiling openly and sharing the spotlight for the evening. The outing follows earlier speculation about their romance, which began amid sightings in Montreal and a yacht outing off California’s coast, and appears to indicate a new level of openness in their relationship.

The timing is significant: Perry’s birthday provided a natural moment for celebration, and the Paris outing underscores the global nature of her tour and his public profile. With Perry currently on her Lifetime Tour which has taken her across Mexico, the United States, Canada and Australia Trudeau is said to have been spotted during her Montreal stop and even travelled to California to join her for a date.

For Perry the appearance marks a departure from recent relationship headlines; she publicly separated from her former fiancé, actor Orlando Bloom, in June. Trudeau, meanwhile, has been navigating his post-marriage life since his separation from spouse Sophie Grégoire in 2023 after 18 years of marriage.

While the pair have not yet issued joint statements about their relationship status, the visible comfort and familiarity they displayed in public signal a shift from discreet sighting to acknowledged couple status. They appear relaxed in each other’s company and genuine in the spotlight as they walk side by side. Their first public appearance together blends the worlds of pop culture and politics an unusual pairing but one that has become a topic of fascination among observers of both domains.

As fans and media track what comes next, key questions remain: how will the couple manage the demands of Perry’s ongoing global tour and Trudeau’s political responsibilities? Will they maintain a low-profile or embrace further public outings? Either way, their Paris date night adds a new chapter to their story one filled with glamour, cross-border appeal and cultural conversation.
