Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau made waves last month when they were spotted sharing an intimate dinner in Montreal, just after Perry’s breakup from long-term partner Orlando Bloom.
The pop icon, 40, and the former Canadian Prime Minister, 53, had reportedly connected quickly – but now, sources reveal their whirlwind romance seems to be cooling down. A recent report suggests the pair have “cooled things off” in recent weeks, primarily because of their jam-packed schedules and Trudeau feeling “uncomfortable” about the media spotlight on their fleeting relationship.
Following their buzz-worthy dinner outing, Trudeau was also spotted at Perry’s sold-out Lifetimes tour performance in Canada. However, the duo has now “stopped their communication.”
“She’s busy, he’s busy,” a source revealed to Page Six. “They have a lot going on, and the newness has worn off,” the insider explained.
“But there’s nothing negative about it,” the source went on. “They just aren’t in constant communication anymore. That could change, but for now, it is what it is. It has cooled off.”
This development follows reports that Trudeau – the former Prime Minister of Canada, who split from his wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023 after 18 years of marriage – was allegedly “not thrilled” with the media frenzy their initial date generated.
“I know for a fact that Justin wasn’t thrilled about the pictures getting out,” a source said. “It was a first date. A first date! And these pictures came out and it became this huge thing, which is not what he seems to have wanted.”
The insider revealed that Trudeau was “not prepared” for the intense media attention that followed his romantic connection to Perry. “It can be a lot and it can be overwhelming,” they added.
Meanwhile, Perry—who has a four-year-old daughter, Daisy, with Bloom—is reportedly hesitant to dive into anything serious at this time. “She isn’t ready to start dating anyone right now; she has to continue to focus on her healing from separating from Orlando,” a second source said.

Despite the apparent pause in their romance, sources indicate the pair experienced an “instant connection” upon meeting. “They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes,” one insider previously told People.
“She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer the prime minister of Canada. “There is an attraction,” they added. “They have a lot in common.”
Trudeau has three children – Xavier, 17, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrien, 11 – with ex-wife Sophie, while Perry and Bloom concluded their nearly decade-long relationship in July.
In a joint statement released to US media outlets, representatives for the couple confirmed the pair “have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting”. “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.”
The statement was issued in response to the “abundance of recent interest and conversation” about their relationship.
