Justin Trudeau's New 'Partner': Fumio Kishida Confirms Ex-Canadian PM's Romance With Katy Perry

It has been dubbed the most unexpected celebrity-political crossover of the year, but the romance between pop powerhouse Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has officially transitioned from persistent rumour to undeniable fact.

The celebrity power couple is now 'Instagram official,' after the Firework singer, 41, shared a series of intimate snapshots from their recent trip to Japan on December 6, 2025, in a quiet yet conclusive 'hard launch.'

The sheer unlikelihood of the pairing—the chart-topping American pop icon and the 53-year-old high-profile Canadian politician—has dominated gossip columns since the initial reports surfaced.

However, the revelation was confirmed not through a traditional press release or a posed red-carpet moment, but through a sweet, casual carousel of images uploaded by Perry to her 200 million-plus followers.

The collection, simply captioned, 'Tokyo times on tour and more ( ◠‿◠ )', featured the usual pop-star itinerary—a dancing Christmas tree video, a starry light installation—but quickly moved to the main event.

One sweet selfie showed the pair, clearly relaxed and happy, standing close together in what appeared to be a park. Another clip, rendered in black and white for a classic, flirtatious effect, showed the couple enjoying a bite to eat with an undeniable warmth between them.

The backdrop to this romantic unveiling was Perry's Lifetimes Tour, which began back in Mexico City in April and is scheduled to wrap up in Abu Dhabi in December. Trudeau was evidently by her side for the Asian leg of the tour, turning a professional commitment into a deeply personal milestone.

While Perry's Instagram post served as the public announcement to her fans, the official, high-level confirmation came from an even more surprising source: former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

During her time in Japan, Perry, accompanied by Justin Trudeau, joined the former Prime Minister and his wife for a visit, cementing the political approval of the relationship. In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), featuring a picture of the foursome posing together in front of a Christmas tree, Kishida referred to Perry as Trudeau's 'partner' in the Japanese caption.

This diplomatic seal of approval transformed the speculation into a verified international story, lending a serious credence to what might otherwise have been treated as mere celebrity gossip. The move suggests the relationship has moved far beyond casual dating and is now being accepted within the highest social and political circles.

The couple's path to this public declaration has been swift. They were first linked romantically in July, a significant moment coming just one month after the news broke that Perry had separated from her fiancé of six years, actor Orlando Bloom.

Bloom, the father of Perry's child and her long-time partner, marked the end of an era for the singer.

The difference in public persona between Bloom, the quintessential Hollywood leading man, and Justin Trudeau, the former leader of the G7 nation, highlights the dramatic shift in Perry's romantic life.

Where the Bloom relationship was firmly rooted in the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown and high-end celebrity circles, the relationship with Trudeau carries the weight of international politics and statesmanship.

This new, serious political-celebrity dynamic was signalled back in October when the couple made one of their first bold public outings.

They stepped out together for a show at the famed Crazy Horse Paris cabaret club to celebrate Perry's 41st birthday, an indication that they were comfortable sharing high-profile, European moments together long before the Tokyo trip.

Now, with the relationship formally—and diplomatically—launched on social media, the world will be watching to see how this unlikely pairing navigates the pressures of their vastly different careers.

Trudeau, 53, and Perry, 41, appear to be a formidable match, but whether their connection can endure the intense global scrutiny and the divergent demands of pop superstardom and high-stakes politics remains the key question. For now, however, 'Tokyo times' confirms that this is one 'unlikely' couple that is entirely, and officially, in love.
