Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has fallen head over heels for pop star Katy Perry.
“He is crazy about her and thinks she is the perfect woman,” says a source. “They
are simpatico on everything including politics, kids and French food.”
The unlikely pair made their first public appearance together this week at Paris’ famed Crazy Horse cabaret to celebrate Perry’s 41st birthday.
“They both have a sparkle for each other,” gushed our source.
The politician and “Dark Horse” singer first sparked romance rumors in July when they were seen having dinner at chic Le Violon restaurant in Montreal.
A few days later, Trudeau was spotted watching Perry take the stage at her “Lifetimes” tour stop at Montreal’s Bell Centre.
A source told People in August that Perry and Trudeau had an “instant connection.”
Earlier this month, the “Dark Horse” singer and former member of Parliament for Papineau were photographed hugging on her yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, Calif.
Trudeau resigned as Prime Minister of Canada in January after nearly a decade of leadership.
He separated from his wife of 18 years, Sophie Grégoire, in 2023.
“He is sowing his oats all over again,” a society source previously told Page Six. “He’s free from the ties of office and his marriage.”
“I don’t think anyone that knows him is surprised that Justin would date someone famous,” said the source. “It does echo his father. It’s in his DNA to do this.”
Former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who died in 2000, dated a string of famous women, including Barbra Streisand and Kim Cattrall.
Canadian columnist Shinan Govani, who has followed the Trudeaus for years, told Page Six earlier this month, “Nobody who knows Justin, or who has followed him for years, ever thought he would just date a ‘civilian’ after being PM.”
“He is inextricably wedded to the spotlight … and is used to mixing with a creamy set. He was pummeled so much here in Canada — unfairly, often — that I think he really does not care what people say about him,” she said.
Perry split from fiance Orlando Bloom this summer. The pair, who had been together for ten years, confirmed the split in a joint statement.
The exes share 5-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, whom they welcomed in August 2020.
Trudeau and his ex, Sophie, share three children: Xavier, 18, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrien, 11.
Reps for both could not be reached for comment.
