THE RUNDOWN
- Katy Perry “didn’t expect to fall for” Justin Trudeau so soon, multiple sources told People, but she is loving the plot twist.
- The insiders detailed how Perry feels about their romance shortly after the couple went public with their relationship in Paris this weekend.
- The former Canadian prime minister and singer first went on a date in July.
Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went public with their romance in Paris this weekend, holding hands as they celebrated Perry’s 41st birthday together. As they embrace their new relationship, sources detailed to People how Perry feels—and why even she didn’t anticipate this plot twist in her life.
Perry and her ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom announced their breakup in July. Later that month, the singer went on a date with Trudeau in Montreal. She was hesitant to go out with anyone, period, but Trudeau pursued her because he believed in their potential.
A source close to Perry told People today that Trudeau’s efforts really paid off: “She’s focused on her tour, and Justin has made a real effort to meet her where she is—literally. She’s flattered. He’s shown that he’s committed and really cares about spending time with her. It’s clear that he values the connection, and so does Katy. She’s in a great place.”
The insider added, “Dating Justin is something she never saw coming, but she’s really enjoying this surprising life twist.” She “loved” his trip to Paris for her birthday, the source noted.
A second source detailed how Perry and Trudeau are balancing their blossoming relationship with their careers and family life. (Both co-parent children with their exes.) The insider also emphasized that Perry truly didn’t picture this for herself.
“They both have busy schedules but make time for each other and have a really strong connection,” the source explained. “Katy didn’t expect to fall for somebody so soon, but Justin checks all the boxes. He has a great sense of humor, he’s charming and treats her with respect.”
Two weeks ago, a source revealed to People how things between Trudeau and Perry shifted in the months since they started talking. “When she first hung out with Justin, she wasn’t looking to date, but they stayed in touch,” the insider said. “They have many shared interests and a lot to talk about, but Katy was navigating too many things to even think about dating then.”
But Trudeau has “been pursuing her since [their Montreal date],” the source said. “He even flew to California to see her during a tour break. They have an easy connection. She finds him attractive. He’s been very respectful.”
