Justin Trudeau Addresses Katy Perry Situation After His Ex Suggests She Was ‘Triggered’ by Their Relationship

Justin Trudeau has made his first public statement regarding his relationship with pop star Katy Perry, confirming what many had long speculated. The Canadian politician was seen alongside Perry during a diplomatic visit to Japan, signaling the couples growing public presence.

On December 4, 2025, Trudeau and Perry met with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yuko. Kishida shared on social media, Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited Japan with his partner and joined my wife and me for lunch. During his tenure as prime minister, we collaborated multiple times and worked together on initiatives like the Japan-Canada Action Plan. Its wonderful to maintain this friendship.

Trudeau responded by reposting Kishidas message, adding, Great to see you @kishida230. Katy and I were so glad to meet with you and Yuko. Thank you, Fumio, for your friendship and dedication to the international rules-based order and a brighter future for all.

Rumors about Trudeau and Perrys romance began after Perry ended her engagement with Orlando Bloom in July 2025. The pair were seen publicly together holding hands in Paris during Perrys birthday in October, effectively confirming their relationship.

Trudeaus ex-wife, Sophie Grgoire, addressed the impact of their relationship on her personal life during a podcast. Were human, and these things affect us, she said. How you respond is your choice. I choose to focus on the music instead of the noise. Grgoire, who divorced Trudeau in August 2023, emphasized that she remains conscious of public scrutiny and its potential to trigger emotions, but she handles it intentionally and openly.

She also highlighted the importance of emotional expression, saying, I allow myself to feel disappointment, anger, or sadness, and I recognize the value of experiencing these emotions for mental health. Additionally, she confirmed that she continues co-parenting their children and is not raising them alone.
