At one point, betting sites gave Mélanie Joly—aka Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister—a spicy 63% implied chance of becoming Trudeau’s next boo, based purely on some cozy lunch sightings and political ‘chemistry’ hotter than a G7 summit.
Okay, babes. Hold onto your maple syrup lattes and sparkly heels because this story is SO delulu it might just be real. Pop icon Katy Perry—yes, “Teenage Dream” Katy—was spotted dining with none other than Justin Trudeau, Canada’s freshly single ex–Prime Minister, in Montreal on July 28.
Dinner. A moonlit walk. Cocktails. Are we reading the plot of a politically thirsty Hallmark movie? Nope. It’s giving… scandal meets spritz.
So here’s what went down: Katy (who just split from Legolas himself, Orlando Bloom, like two seconds ago) and Justin (who broke up with Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023 and is suddenly looking like a daddy again) were seen cozying up at the très chic Le Violon restaurant. Think oysters, lobster, and political pillow talk over Pinot. Like, did she whisper “Firework” lyrics or foreign policy into his ear? The jury’s out.
And THEN—brace yourselves—they took a romantic stroll through Mount Royal Park, and ended the night with more drinks at Taverne Atlantic. Casual? Coincidence? Girl, be so serious.
But let’s unpack the vibes:
- No paparazzi pics of them full-on making out. Sad face.
- Some diners at the resto said Justin “placed a hand on her back” or “touched her waist.” Subtle. Gentlemanly. But also lowkey sexy.
- Neither of them has publicly confirmed ANYTHING, but like… do celebs ever admit it on the first date?
- Sources close to People and Elle (and by “sources” we mean the hot goss queens of Twitter) say they had a “real connection” and “are planning to see each other again.” Oop.
This unexpected pair has people spiraling—some calling it the crossover we never asked for, others praying for a pop ballad about maple leaves and freedom. Conservative Twitter? Already clutching pearls and asking if this means Katy’s gonna start wearing red plaid and quoting Pierre Elliott. Liberals? Probably crying in bilingual.
And Canada? Honestly, we might have just entered our bilingual baddie era.
Let’s not forget: Katy’s the queen of “I kissed a girl and I liked it,” and Justin’s the PM who wore rainbow socks to G7. This is not your grandma’s couple. It’s giving global warming—but like, the sexy kind.
Our Verdict:
Is it love? A publicity stunt? Diplomacy through dinner dates? Who cares. We’re OBSESSED.
We’re picturing a power couple that drops legislation by day and bangers by night.
First comes brunch, then comes joint UN speeches, then comes a baby named Maple Bloom Perry-Trudeau.
Too soon? Never.
So until we get confirmation—or a collab called “Prime Minister Lover”—we’ll be keeping our eyes (and our glossed lips) glued to this sizzling, spicy, potentially history-making romance.
XOXO,
