When Katy Perry was spotted on a date with Justin Trudeau, the internet exploded with speculation – has the singer really forgotten her ex so quickly and already managed to start a romance with the former Prime Minister of Canada? We gathered all the insider information about this and so much more! Fans remember her record-breaking hits, her daring outfits, and her candid stories about struggles with mental health...get ready – it’s going to be hot!

Free Again And Already At The Center Of New Rumors

After her split with Orlando Bloom, very little time had passed, and Katy Perry had already managed to surprise everyone. And it wasn’t about a new song or music video. The singer was spotted in the company of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Be honest, who could have expected a couple like that?

On exclusive photos published by Bild, you can see Katy and Justin spending an evening at the restaurant Le Violon in Montreal. The atmosphere was clearly not businesslike — the singer leaned toward her companion with a smile, listening to him with obvious interest, and Trudeau responded lively and enthusiastically… It all very much resembled a date rather than a casual dinner.

Menu With Lobsters And Cocktails

As TMZ reports, the couple tried several dishes and even prepared lobsters themselves. Well, stars can’t hide from anyone… especially when they want some privacy. Add cocktails, a pleasant restaurant atmosphere, and romantic music — and the picture looks very romantic. 

@tmz.com

This wasn’t a dinner where people just grab a quick bite. Everything looked like the evening was planned and carefully thought out… and we didn’t know Trudeau was such a romantic!

Privacy Under Control

Of course, the lives of such people are impossible without security. But the bodyguards tried to be as unobtrusive as possible. They kept their distance, sat with their backs to the bar, and watched the situation through a mirrored wall. 

@tmz.com

Thanks to this, Katy and Justin could feel relaxed and not worry that someone might disturb their conversation. Security was ensured — paparazzi couldn’t get a close shot, and no one approached the couple.

A Sweet Moment With The Restaurant Team

After dinner, something happened that made the meeting even more special, TMZ writes. The chef personally came to their table to greet the star guests. Then Katy and Justin went to the kitchen and thanked the restaurant staff. 

@tmz.com

This gesture looked very genuine: celebrities don’t pay attention to the staff every day, and here — so much friendliness! It’s really very sweet. And it clearly shows that both were in a great mood.

And What Will Katy And Trudeau Say About It?

Well, here everything is as we expected. Neither Perry nor Trudeau have commented on their dinner yet. But honestly, it’s not necessary: the photos speak for themselves.

Fans online are already discussing a possible romance, speculating, and examining every detail of the evening shots. The longer Katy and Justin remain silent, the more interest will grow…

And All This — Just A Month After The Split

The most surprising part of this story is that the meeting with Trudeau happened literally a month after Perry and Orlando Bloom announced their split. Their relationship lasted nine years, they got engaged in 2019, and later had a daughter. 

@Phillip Faraone/VF25/Getty Images for Vanity Fair

Despite the breakup, the couple emphasized that they will remain a family for the child, Daily Mail reported. But fans have already noticed — Katy looks happy and apparently isn’t sad after the divorce!

Life Goes On — And With Katy, It Will Never Be Boring

Perry has always known how to surprise. Her marriage to Russell Brand ended in a loud divorce but it was after that she created her most sincere and powerful songs. With Bloom, it was also a long story: they broke up, then got back together, and it all seemed like an endless “American rollercoaster.”

@kesha.fandom.com

But we’ll tell the details of this later, and for now, let’s explore Perry’s personality better because from childhood she made it clear — you definitely won’t be bored with her! Moreover, from a young age, she had to fight against the rules that her parents supposedly tried to impose on her. Details coming right now!

Santa Barbara — Where It All Began

Katherine Hudson, who later became Katy Perry, was born in California, in the small town of Santa Barbara. Her parents, Maurice Hudson and Mary Christine Perry, were evangelical church ministers. 

@katyperry/Instagram.com

For them, faith was everything — and they raised their children strictly by their rules… who would have thought that such a bold and daring Katy, who would later become famous for the provocative song “I Kissed A Girl,” grew up under such heavy restrictions…

Family Talents

In Katy’s family, she grew up with her older sister Angela and her younger brother David, who also tried his hand at music. Her maternal uncle, Frank Perry, was a theater and film director who made several successful movies, including the tragicomedy Mansfield Park. 

@imbd.com

So creativity was almost in Katy’s blood, even if her parents tried to suppress it, as US Weekly writes. Moreover, Katy had very little stability in her childhood — and here’s why.

Childhood On The Move

Until she was 11, the family constantly moved — from city to city, from church to church. On one hand, it was exciting: new places, new experiences. On the other hand, it was hard. Constant moving didn’t give Katy a sense of stability. 

@katyperry/Instagram.com

She grew up quickly, learning to adapt but at the same time she missed having a home that was truly “hers.” Perhaps it was the constant moving and changing surroundings that made Katy so versatile later on.

Strict Rules And Endless Restrictions

The household had very strict rules. According to People, Katy and her siblings could only read the Bible and listen to religious hymns… Any hint of pop or rock music was seen as rebellion. 

@katyperry/Instagram.com

In her childhood, Katy said it sometimes felt almost like prison: “The music I loved wasn’t there. TV was forbidden, books too. All I heard were church hymns.”

First Steps In Music Thanks To…The Church

Yet it was in the church that Katy found her first musical inspiration. She sang in the choir with her brother and sister, took part in small performances, and learned to control her voice. 

@katyperry/Instagram.com

This was where the foundation of her future career was laid. So her parents' recommendations were also a plus for her.

But Rebellion Won Out!

It seems like growing up with so many restrictions could have killed any desire to make music outside the church — but for Katy, it was the opposite. Her rebellious streak and desire to be herself won. 

@celebrity.nine.com.au

Even at an early age, she understood: if she wanted to be a singer, she couldn’t just follow her parents’ rules. It all started innocently… but that was only the beginning.

Friends Played Their Part

As a teenager, Katy began discovering music that was forbidden at home. Friends helped her: they introduced her to artists and bands she wasn’t allowed to listen to. Among her favorites were Alanis Morissette and Joni Mitchell, as well as Queen, Nirvana, and Heart. 

@celebrity.nine.com.au

Katy absorbed every song — it was literally her way to feel the freedom she craved. Secretly from her parents, she began writing her first songs, trying to recreate what she heard, and dreaming that one day thousands of people would hear her voice.

A Decision That Shocked Her Family

At 15, Katy made a decisive choice: she left school to fully devote herself to music — we can only imagine how her parents felt but there was no stopping her. It was a bold move, especially for a girl from a strict religious family. 

@tmz.com

She took a short course in Italian opera at the Music Academy in Nashville, took lessons from country musicians, and began making her demo recordings. Even then, she understood that the path to success would be tough, requiring work, patience, and trying again and again. But nothing scared her.

Failures Followed Her

The start of her career was far from easy. Her first singles, Trust In Me and Search Me, were barely noticed, and her debut album Katy Hudson, in a gospel style, didn’t achieve commercial success. 

@Columbia Records

Critics responded positively but the general public didn’t take her seriously yet. Still, she didn’t give up, and every failure became a lesson that motivated her to keep going.

Turning Point

Things began to change when Katy wrote the soundtrack Simple for the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. This project showed her that her music could appeal to a wide audience. Katy realized it was time to change strategy and style, moving toward pop music that would make her recognizable.

@Columbia Records

It was also then that she decided to take a stage name — her mother’s maiden name — and become Katy Perry. Her real name, Katy Hudson, was too similar to actress Kate Hudson, and she didn’t want any confusion. With her new name came a new stage in her career…

The Big Breakthrough

2008 became a turning point for Katy. It was exactly then that the whole world heard her bold song I Kissed A Girl. Nobody expected such a daring move from a girl who grew up in a religious family with strict rules. But it was this very provocation that made her a global star. 

@posterazzi.com

The song was everywhere — on the radio, in clubs, in shops — and in a single moment Katy transformed from a rising singer into a superstar! At the same time, her debut album One Of The Boys instantly went platinum, and right after that people literally became addicted to the hit Hot N Cold.

Parents’ Reaction

One might have thought that after the release of I Kissed A Girl the singer’s parents, who were so devout and strict, would turn their backs on her. But something surprising happened — they accepted her choice. In interviews later Katy admitted she was prepared for conflict and even for a complete break in the relationship but her mom and dad found the strength to support her.

@maryarises/Instagram.com

“Sometimes parents grow together with their children,” the singer told People. “We coexist peacefully. I no longer try to change them, and they no longer try to reshape me.” And we can assume that this family support became one of the pillars for Katy, who was not going to stop at what she had achieved.

What Do Katy Perry And Michael Jackson Have In Common?

A couple of years later Katy once again shook the world with her song California Gurls. A bright, summery, and slightly crazy track, it held the number one position in all English-speaking charts for almost two months. This was no longer just a lucky success but proof that Perry had secured her place in the industry for a long time. And it was exactly then that her album Teenage Dream came out!

@boisehighlights.com

From it came five hits at once: Last Friday Night, E.T., Teenage Dream, Firework, and the already mentioned California Gurls. All of them reached number one in the charts. Such a result had only ever been shown before by Michael Jackson. And now Katy Perry — the girl with colorful wigs and an explosive personality — stood side by side with the King of Pop.

The Singer Rewrote YouTube History!

But there was even more to come! In 2013 Perry released the album Prism. The hits Unconditionally and This Is How We Do once again stormed the charts! And the music videos for Roar and Dark Horse literally rewrote YouTube history — each of these videos gained over one billion views! And the singer understood — she had to keep surprising her audience. 

@dailymail.co.uk

“I don’t perceive my career as a momentary success story, a bomb that is about to explode. I am not going to always follow the patterns of the entertainment industry,” she admitted to Vogue.

Does Katy Perry Need A Millionaire?

The singer’s love stories have been just as bright as her music! And she always managed to combine career development with loud romances! When Katy Perry appeared as a guest on the popular podcast Call Her Daddy, she once again proved: her sense of humor and straightforwardness are a separate kind of art. 

@justjared.com

Instead of the usual talks about millions in the bank or red Ferraris, the singer told what really makes her happy in a relationship. And let us say right away — her answer surprised many!

Her “Love Language” Revealed!

According to Katy, her ideal man does not have to be a millionaire or organize lavish gestures. The main thing is attention to detail and everyday little things. “If I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean, and you cooked something, closed all the cupboards, then be ready for me to be very turned on by that!” — Katy admitted while laughing on Call Her Daddy.

@elle.com

Perry added that this is her “love language.” She does not need expensive toys or material signs of affection. “Just wash the damn dishes! It’s so easy!” — she shouted emotionally right during the recording, and the hosts could not stop laughing. And of course, they could not resist recalling the singer’s most striking romances! After Orlando Bloom, many people forgot about them but trust us — there is a lot of interesting drama there!

Travie McCoy: 2007–2008

Katy’s first loud romance was with musician Travie McCoy, the frontman of Gym Class Heroes. Their relationship lasted less than a year but the breakup was painful. According to Travie himself, the split happened unexpectedly: Katy broke up with him… by email. “The letter began with the words: ‘I love you so much, I hate to do this...’ 

@Christopher Polk/Getty Images

And the person I thought was the love of my life sends me a farewell in a letter. That destroyed me,” he recalled in an interview with Cosmopolitan.

Josh Groban: 2009

A short romance with singer Josh Groban in 2009 left an impression that seems to have forever remained in her art. As Elle wrote, it was exactly this relationship that inspired Katy to write the song The One That Got Away. Later TV host Andy Cohen asked Josh directly if that was true. 

@Dia Dipasupil/GettyImages

Groban did not deny it: “Yes, we dated. We were both very private, and in the end we decided that it was better for us to stay friends. But we are still very close. She is amazing.” At the same time he admitted that he was shocked when he first heard the song: “I spat out my coffee when I realized it was about me.”

Russell Brand: 2009–2011

Then came British comedian Russell Brand. They met at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009, and their relationship developed rapidly: a year later they had a wedding in India. However, the marriage lasted only 14 months. As US Weekly wrote, Katy told Vogue in an interview: “When we met, he wanted an equal partner. 

@people.com

But when he realized I was the boss while on tour, it became unbearable for him. He had a hard time dealing with my success.” And the most shocking part — Katy learned about her husband’s decision to divorce in a very unexpected way…

Were You Expecting Men To Be Capable Of This?

The divorce was a shock not only for the singer but also for her fans. And all because of the way Russell informed Katy about his desire to separate! It all ended with a dry message: Russell sent her an SMS on December 31st, in which he announced the divorce. 

@tmz.com

Later TMZ wrote that it was precisely this coldness that ultimately destroyed their relationship... and we perfectly understand why! To end a marriage with a text message — well, that is something...

Robert Ackroyd: 2012

Shortly after the painful divorce, Katy tried to believe in love again. She began a romance with Robert Ackroyd, guitarist of the band Florence and the Machine. 

@Stealth/Bauer-Griffin/Getty Images

They were seen together at the Coachella festival, where the singer called him her “boyfriend,” as reported by Cosmopolitan. But the relationship turned out to be short-lived — more like recovery after a hard breakup. And right after that came yet another bright love story!

John Mayer: 2012–2014

One of the most turbulent and discussed affairs was her relationship with John Mayer. Their romance began in the summer of 2012 over dinner at Chateau Marmont, and from that moment everything resembled a roller coaster. They broke up and reconciled, there were rumors about an engagement but in February 2014 it was finally over. 

@Christopher Polk/Getty Images

“There was so much that John could not handle but his feelings for her remained strong,” wrote US Weekly. Later Mayer admitted in an interview with the New York Times that his song Still Feel Like Your Man was dedicated to Katy: “Who else could I be thinking about? Those were my only serious relationships in the past years.”

Diplo: 2014

Another loud but brief story happened in 2014. Katy and the famous DJ Diplo appeared together at the Coachella festival, instantly causing a wave of rumors. 

@glamourmagazine.co.uk

However, their romance quickly faded. Later, the singer jokingly created a “ranking of her exes” and placed Diplo only in third place, after John Mayer and Orlando Bloom. The DJ responded sharply: “I do not even remember us being intimate,” he was quoted by TMZ.

And Here He Is — Orlando!

Well, since we already mentioned Orlando Bloom, let us talk in detail about his love story with Perry — after all, this is one of the longest and most important romances in the singer’s life.

@people.com

And it all began, strangely enough, without any romance or “chemistry.” Their first meeting took place back in 2013 at a charity event for the brand Coach. The singer and the actor, eight years her senior, seemed to cross paths by chance, exchanged a few words, and went their separate ways. No fateful spark appeared at that moment. Later both admitted: that night they felt absolutely nothing...

The First Spark

The real chemistry only flared up in 2016, when fate brought them together again — at the Golden Globes afterparty. The organizers seated Orlando and Katy next to each other, and that supposedly became the turning point — TMZ wrote. 

@Kevin Mazur/Getty Images

According to guests at the party, they instantly connected: joking, laughing, and practically not leaving each other’s side. The entire room watched as a new bond was born between them. That night they danced endlessly, and those very photos quickly spread across the internet, becoming the symbol of the beginning of their love story.

A Stormy Beginning Of The Romance

The relationship developed rapidly. Just a couple of weeks later, Katy and Orlando were spotted at Adele’s concert, where they passionately kissed right in the middle of the crowd. 

@dailymail.co.uk

Thousands of people saw it live, and of course, the pictures instantly hit the internet. It could be said that this was the moment when they officially confirmed their romance — without unnecessary words, with one kiss.

Everyone Admired Them Without Asking Questions

A few months later the couple was already walking hand in hand at the Coachella festival. 

@eonline.com

Everything looked as if it was the story of a “perfect” Hollywood couple: the actor, the singer, the shine, and the genuine happiness. And back then no one was yet asking the question — how long would it really last...

Scandalous Vacation

The world realized in the summer of 2016 that Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry were perfect for each other and could laugh together day and night. In August, the couple went on a romantic vacation to Sardinia. Everything seemed perfect: sun, sea, and just the two of them away from prying eyes. 

@people.com

But boredom clearly took its toll — and the celebrities decided to spice things up… They went surfing, and it was at that moment that Bloom decided to do something daring! What exactly did he do?!

Wasn’t That Too Much?

As it turned out during that vacation, the actor stripped completely, and soon his photos in that state went viral worldwide. According to TMZ, Perry later revealed that Orlando literally begged her to strip as well but she wisely refused. 

@people.com

Who knows — maybe it was his way of adding some excitement to the vacation, or maybe just a way to remind her of himself once again? As TMZ reported, the actor’s ex-wife, model Miranda Kerr, clearly did not appreciate the attention — after all, the father of her child was being talked about for reasons far from his movie roles…

The Idyll Didn’t Last Long

It seemed like everything was perfect in the couple’s relationship: they appeared together at public events, posted joint photos on social media, and openly shared their feelings. But just six months later, the world learned about their breakup. The reasons remain a mystery. Perry posted on her account that there was no drama and that they remained friends. But Orlando chose to remain silent.

@Gisela Schober/Getty Images for amfAR

As US Weekly reported, fans could hardly believe the story was over. Many were convinced that it seemed too harmonious for a final end. Some speculated that maybe their work schedules simply didn’t align — and misunderstandings arose from that?

A Second Chance for Love

The idea that the breakup was more emotional is confirmed by the fact that by August 2017, they were seen together again. 

@tmz.com

Not just anywhere but at an Ed Sheeran concert — eternally in love with live music, Bloom and Perry spent the evening hugging and kissing, as if no pause had ever happened… however, at that time Katy could not fully enjoy the joy, and she had serious reasons for that…

The Sad Truth About Katy’s Health

As Cosmopolitan noted, during that period, Katy went through a very difficult time. She admitted that in 2017 she reached an emotional “bottom” — she couldn’t get out of bed and felt broken. 

@jacarandafm.com

In an interview with Elle, the singer said she experienced episodes of situational depression caused by career setbacks and harsh public reactions to her work.

What Helped the Singer?

And it was Orlando who became her support during the depression. According to Daily Mail, Perry said that his support not only helped her cope with the crisis but also regain confidence in herself. Faith and meditation, which Perry also mentioned, played a huge role. Moreover, the singer allegedly even lost interest in life, as Daily Mail reported…

@David X. Prutting/BFA/Rex/Shutterstock

The main conclusion was simple: Orlando was there when she needed him most! And a couple of years later, Orlando proposed to her!

The Most Romantic Valentine’s Day

Orlando Bloom proposed to Katy Perry on Valentine’s Day in 2019. Perry later said it was very beautiful and felt like a real movie. According to People, Orlando created a pretext — they were supposedly going to dinner. But then he unexpectedly led Katy to a helicopter. 

@vogue.com

There, at height, he took out the ring and proposed. Perry recalled that even the champagne spilled at that moment but it only made the moment more touching and lively!

The Dream Ring

The ring immediately became a topic in the media. Bloom gave her a flower-shaped ring with a pink gemstone in the center and diamonds around it. 

@vogue.com

Vogue reported that such a ring could cost up to five million dollars. The flower and pink color are symbolic for Katy Perry — bright and unique! However, the wedding ultimately did not take place…

The Wedding That Had to Be Postponed

When Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom announced their engagement, they wanted a quick and beautiful wedding. Moreover, as it later turned out, Perry was already pregnant at that time. According to US Weekly, she even dreamed of marrying while pregnant — for her, it was a special symbol. 

@people.com

But the COVID-19 pandemic destroyed those plans. Due to travel restrictions and total uncertainty, the couple had to say “stop” and postpone the wedding. And that was only the beginning of their trials.

The Dark Period

In 2020, the couple welcomed their daughter Daisy but the joy was quickly overshadowed by less positive events. According to an insider cited by Cosmopolitan, the couple entered a true “dark period.” Everything seemed to indicate that the likelihood of a breakup was even higher than the likelihood of a wedding. 

@Ryan Emberley/Getty Images for RBC

Perry was balancing her music tour with motherhood, and Orlando supported her as best he could but there was catastrophically little time for the relationship… moreover, it turned out that Orlando allegedly did not support some of Katy’s ideas…

When Space Divided Them

According to Yahoo News, the crisis in the couple’s relationship due to their busy schedules lasted up to the moment of their split. And this summer, the peak occurred. 

@dailymail.co.uk

While everyone admired Perry’s space flight with Jeff Bezos’ crew and her friends, Orlando allegedly did not share the excitement… and this deeply upset the singer.

The Unexpected Reaction from Her Closest Person

It seems incredible — what could be cooler than flying into space? But as Daily Mail reported, the actor not only did not support her little cosmic adventure but also called it “ridiculous” and “awkward.” For Katy Perry, this moment became a sudden blow to her relationship with Orlando Bloom. 

@dailymail.co.uk

Insiders claim that the argument broke out right after the flight. Katy was thrilled — after all, this was not just a trip, it was literally going beyond Earth! But Orlando’s reaction was cold, and he was allegedly unimpressed, which hurt Perry deeply. Soon after, news came that the couple had separated…

A Year of Challenges for Katy Perry

Katy Perry openly admitted that this year became a real test for her both personally and professionally, writes Us Weekly. Despite all the difficulties, Katy did not break. She told fans that music and their support became her salvation. “Every day, I have the opportunity to ask myself if I love myself… and today the answer is yes,” shared the singer. Moreover, she is currently in the middle of her new tour, The Lifetimes Tour. 

@usatoday.com

For Katy, this tour has become not only work but also a way to heal her wounds while connecting with fans worldwide, even as her name keeps appearing in headlines.

The Singer Set a New Record!

Katy Perry proved once again that her strength lies in live performances. Just a few months after British tabloids reported “falling sales” in some cities, the singer revealed the real numbers — and they are impressive! According to Billboard, Perry sold over 1.1 million tickets and earned more than 80 million dollars just from concerts in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. And that was with most of the tour still ahead.

@usatoday.com

The biggest buzz, according to the media, happened in Asia. In China, tickets for six concerts sold out literally in one minute. That is a record even for a superstar like Katy!

Haters Discuss Her “Unusual” Weight Loss

Katy Perry is used to being scrutinized not only for her career and personal life but also for her appearance. Every public appearance is analyzed in detail — from dress color to makeup. Once again, there was reason for discussion. 

@cosmopolitan.com

The singer shared a series of new photos on social media where she posed in a shiny, semi-transparent dress with a deep neckline. At first glance, just another striking outfit but fans noticed something else: Katy’s figure. The internet buzzed: “She has never been this slim!” The story of her “unusual” weight loss has been circulating for almost a year now…

Beautiful and Successful!

Online discussions suggested that Katy allegedly used the Ozempic, originally created to treat diabetes but popular among those wanting to lose weight. But the singer, as usual, took the rumors with humor. Meanwhile, insiders from Daily Mail claimed there was no magic involved. 

@cosmopolitan.com

Perry simply followed the diet of her ex, Orlando Bloom, who had long given up sweets and processed foods. And while haters continue to talk, she delights her fans in perfect form, enjoying her current tour and even managing to have dinner with Justin Trudeau! What’s next? We’ll keep following the hot news about this singer!
