Pop icon Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have been under the spotlight since they made their relationship public on Instagram last year. Their romance, which began with speculation and quickly escalated into a confirmed partnership, has been closely followed by fans and media alike.

Now, a new claim has spread rapidly across social media — that Perry is pregnant with twins. The rumour, which claims that Perry is now 'eating for three', has been fuelled by viral posts and amplified by millions of views. Here's the truth behind the story.

Trudeau's Reported Property Purchase

Recent reports suggested that Trudeau purchased a £2.45 million ($3.1 million) estate in Montreal, where the couple have been seen together. Xavier Trudeau, the former prime minister's son, confirmed that he already met Perry and said she is 'cool.' Such details have only added to the speculation that the relationship is becoming more serious.

The Viral Claim: 'She's Eating for 3 Now'

The latest rumour originated from a post on X by parody account Hoops Crave (@HoopsCave). The post claimed that Perry is pregnant and having twins with Trudeau. They wrote: 'Katy Perry announces she's expecting twins with Justin Trudeau: "She's eating for 3 now",' along with the photo of the couple and a sonogram.

This claim quickly gained traction, amassing more than 7,000 likes, 4,200 reposts and 6.6 million views. Although the post now carries a community note clarifying that it came from a parody account, many users had already engaged with it before the disclaimer was added. The sonogram image used was dated 2014, further undermining the claim.

Montecito Outing Sparks Speculation

The rumour gained momentum after Perry, 41, was seen out at the exclusive Coral Casino and Cabana Club in Montecito, California, with Trudeau, 54 on Saturday, 21 February.

Perry wore a loose white cover-up rather than her usual figure-hugging style, with a robe draped across her midsection. This small detail was enough to send the internet into a frenzy, with many concluding that the singer is pregnant, allegedly hiding her baby bump, and an announcement should be expected — despite no confirmation from the couple.

Insider Response: No Pregnancy

An insider told the Daily Mailthat the couple are not expecting. They said, 'Justin and Katy's relationship is going great. Nobody actually believed it was ever going to be a thing, and now that it is, everyone wants them to get married and have children.'

The source added, 'There have been rumours recently that Katy is pregnant, but she is not. She's not against it, but they are just in a euphoric honeymoon phase and enjoying life together with the children they already have from their previous relationships.'

Thoughts on Building a Family Together

Although the pregnancy claim is false, Geo News reported last month that Perry was considering expanding her family with Trudeau. An insider said, 'Katy's ready to go all in right now with [Trudeau]. They're even talking about having a child together. Justin is very clear that he wants to build a life with her and there's no one he'd rather be with.'

However, a different source told the Daily Mail that although their romance appears to be headed in the right direction, the couple have not yet properly discussed marriage or having children in detail. 'They haven't even addressed getting engaged or married. They are just enjoying being a couple,' the source said.
