Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and global pop star Katy Perry were spotted enjoying a private dinner in Montreal this week, fueling rumors of a possible connection. The two dined at the upscale restaurant Le Violon, where they spent nearly two hours chatting over a gourmet meal.
According to restaurant consultant Samantha Jin, the pair kept a low profile, with no visible signs of romance or public displays of affection. Staff and fellow diners respected their privacy, and neither Trudeau nor Perry posed for photos with anyone. Chef Danny Smiles even stopped by their table to greet them, and before leaving, they personally thanked the kitchen team.
The news first broke on TMZ, which shared a video of the two engaged in lively conversation. Perry, who recently ended her relationship with actor Orlando Bloom, is currently on tour, with upcoming stops in Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, and Toronto. Meanwhile, Trudeau, who stepped down as prime minister earlier this year, separated from his wife, Sophie Grégoire, in 2023.
Trudeau’s father, former PM Pierre Trudeau, was known for his high-profile relationships during his time in office, dating celebrities like Barbra Streisand and Kim Cattrall before marrying at 51. As for Perry, the California-born singer is a 13-time Grammy nominee and one of the best-selling artists of all time, famous for hits like Teenage Dream, which tied Michael Jackson’s record for most No. 1 singles from one album.
While their dinner has set social media abuzz, neither Trudeau nor Perry’s representatives have commented on the nature of their meeting.
