Multiple outlets report that Katy Perry and former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau were photographed together in Paris in late October 2025 while celebrating Perry’s birthday, with the evening widely described as their first public outing as a couple.
Reports say the pair attended a Paris stage show and were seen holding hands as they arrived and departed.
Why is this being called their first public outing as a couple
Coverage from Entertainment Weekly, People, Elle, and The Guardian frames the Paris night as the first time they were seen together in a way that clearly signaled they were together, rather than simply appearing in the same place.
A fair reality check: “official” here is based on public photos and reporting, not a joint press release—so it’s more accurate to say it was their first widely photographed public appearance together.
How the rumors started and what was reported before Paris
The reports place the start of the speculation in summer 2025, when Perry and Trudeau were spotted together in Montreal, followed by Trudeau being seen at Perry’s concert. The Guardian summarizes that sequence as part of the public timeline.
Context around both of their recent personal timelines
People and other outlets note that Perry’s split from Orlando Bloom was reported earlier in 2025, while Trudeau announced his separation from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023. That context is often included to explain why the rumors gained traction quickly once they were seen together.
What happens next
Right now, the most concrete “update” is simply continued coverage of them appearing together and sources describing the relationship as developing over time.
If either of them publicly comments in a direct way, reputable outlets will likely treat that as the real confirmation point—until then, the cleanest framing is that they were publicly seen together in Paris in a way the media interpreted as a couple-style appearance.
