In a highly anticipated public appearance, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and pop star Katy Perry were seen together for the first time as a couple on Tuesday, June 24, at the 2025 Raising the Bar Global Women’s Empowerment Summit in Paris. The summit, dedicated to advancing women’s rights and leadership worldwide, was hosted at the iconic Musée d’Orsay by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron.
The pair made a striking entrance on the red carpet, with Perry dazzling in a black off-the-shoulder gown adorned with delicate floral patterns, while Trudeau opted for a timeless black tuxedo. Attendees and photographers captured the couple smiling and posing together, marking a rare moment of public visibility for the Prime Minister since his separation from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in August 2023.
Perry delivered a keynote address emphasizing the importance of female empowerment, education, and leadership in shaping a more equitable future. Trudeau attended as a guest, supporting the summit’s mission and maintaining a composed presence alongside Perry.
While the Prime Minister’s Office has not released an official statement regarding the relationship, a source confirmed to People magazine that the two are dating. Trudeau and his former spouse, Sophie, share three children and continue to prioritize co-parenting despite their separation. Sophie has largely remained out of the public eye, though she was recently spotted attending a yoga session in Montreal.
The summit in Paris brought together world leaders, activists, and public figures to spotlight global efforts in promoting gender equality. For Perry and Trudeau, this event provided both a platform to advocate for women’s empowerment and a moment to be seen together publicly as a couple for the first time.
