KATHMANDU, Dec 8: Pop superstar Katy Perry has publicly confirmed her relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, posting a series of affectionate photos and videos from their recent Tokyo escape.
The Instagram carousel — captioned “Tokyo times on tour and more” — shows the pair sharing sushi, exploring art-installations, and posing cheek-to-cheek, marking their first official acknowledgment as a couple.
Their romance, which sparked fresh interest this summer after they were spotted together in Montreal, has quickly gained momentum. The two were seen holding hands during a Paris night out on October 25 for Perry’s birthday — their first public appearance as a couple.
During their Tokyo trip, they also joined former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife for lunch. In a social-media post, Kishida referred to Perry as Trudeau’s “partner,” a subtle but significant confirmation of their relationship, which Trudeau echoed in his reply.
Fans around the world have responded with enthusiasm — many calling it one of the most surprising “hard launches” of a romance in recent memory. Amid the buzz, neither Perry nor Trudeau has made a further public comment, letting the photos speak for themselves.
