Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s yachtside sizzle

Hold onto your lifejackets, pop fans and politicos — Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have set sail straight into gossip heaven. 

The Daily Mail on Sunday has dropped what might just be the most unexpected crossover episode of 2025: the California pop queen and Canada’s freshly single ex–Prime Minister caught in a full-blown seaside smooch session.

Forget “I Kissed a Girl.” This time, Katy’s locking lips with a world leader. Exclusive snaps show the 40-year-old hitmaker and the 53-year-old former PM wrapped in a sun-soaked embrace aboard Perry’s 24-metre yacht, Caravelle, drifting just off the Santa Barbara coast. Let’s just say the chemistry was undeniable — and yes, Trudeau’s hand placement was… diplomatic, but daring.

Witnesses say the pair looked “utterly lost in each other,” as they cuddled and laughed on the yacht’s upper deck. Tourists aboard a nearby whale-watching boat got a surprise of their own when one sharp-eyed onlooker spotted Trudeau’s unmistakable Haida raven tattoo, the signature Indigenous-inspired ink on his left bicep — and suddenly, the mystery man’s identity was no mystery at all.

“She pulled up her boat next to a small public whale-watching boat, then they started making out. I didn't realise who she was with until I saw the tattoo on the guy's arm and I immediately realised it was Justin Trudeau,” said an witness.

Rumours of the pair’s flirtation first surfaced in July, when they were seen sharing an “intimate dinner” at Montreal’s Le Violon. At the time, both stayed coy. But with Sophie Grégoire Trudeau out of the picture following their 2023 split — and Katy happily co-parenting with Orlando Bloom — the timing seems tailor-made for this unlikely, international love story.

Sources close to the pair say the connection runs deeper than just sea breezes and Aperol spritzes. “Katy thinks he’s incredibly smart and grounded,” one insider shared. “She’s charmed by his idealism. And he loves that she’s so unapologetically herself. They really get each other.”

From the House of Commons to Hollywood’s high seas, Trudeau seems to have swapped cabinet meetings for coastal cuddles — and if the photos are anything to go by, he’s doing just fine.

One thing’s certain: this is one cross-border alliance that doesn’t need a trade agreement — just sunscreen and good Wi-Fi.
