Justin Trudeau Spotted Sharing Cozy Family Moment with Ex Sophie Amid Buzz Over Katy Perry Romance

Caught in the crossfire of love? Justin Trudeau's sighting during a cozy familial moment with his estranged wife comes amid the pop star addressing her love life during a show on October 13, 2025.

Recently, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, the estranged wife of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, shared photos on her Instagram Story of a family dinner.

Among the loved ones apparent in one of the photos was Justin, who has recently made headlines for his reported romance with pop sensation Katy Perry.

In the since-expired Instagram Story snaps, the warmth of the family moment was unmistakable. One image captured a beautifully set wooden dining table adorned by the soft glow of candles, its rustic charm accentuated by carefully placed dinnerware and a sculpture centerpiece depicting two elk mid-battle — a poetic metaphor, perhaps, for the tensions quietly simmering beneath the surface.

Another image showed Justin standing between two loved ones. All three smiled over plates of delectable food — turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, carrots, and peas — underscoring a sense of closeness and tradition.

Though Sophie offered no captions or direct mention of Justin in the images, the snapshots painted a vivid picture of familial unity. They appeared to be taken in an intimate, lived-in space, suggesting that despite the former couple's public separation, shared moments like these remain meaningful.

But rewind just a few days earlier — and the scene couldn't have been more different. In images circulated online, Katy and Justin were seen packing on the PDA (otherwise known as public displays of affection) aboard Katy's yacht, the Caravelle, off the sun-drenched coast of Santa Barbara.

In one snap, Justin plants a kiss on Katy's cheek as she clings to him affectionately. Another shows Katy, donning a dark one-piece swimsuit, leaning into Justin, shirtless with a pair of jeans on, as he wraps his arm around her waist — his hand resting on her backside.

While a representative for Katy declined to comment on the nature of their relationship, the sizzling chemistry between the pair said more than enough. And truthfully, it wasn't their first romantic run-in.

Back in July, Katy and Justin were spotted enjoying dinner at Le Violon, an upscale restaurant nestled in the heart of Montreal. In video footage obtained by TMZ, Katy leaned in attentively across the table, seemingly engrossed in conversation with Justin.

According to an eyewitness at the scene, the pair lingered over cocktails and shared multiple dishes — one reportedly featuring lobster — while maintaining an air of privacy. Security guards stationed nearby appeared to monitor the dinner discreetly through mirrored glass.

The pièce de résistance? The chef came to greet Katy and Justin, who even stepped into the kitchen after their meal to offer personal thanks to the staff.

At the time, Katy was in the midst of the Canadian leg of her tour, with scheduled performances in Ottawa and Montreal. Just days after their cozy dinner in Montreal, Justin made another headline-grabbing appearance — this time in the audience of Katy's sold-out show at Bell Centre.

He was seen enjoying the performance alongside his 16-year-old daughter, Ella-Grace Trudeau, in what many viewed as a telling gesture of support.

Photos and videos posted to social media captured Justin grinning as he watched the pop icon light up the stage, his attention fully locked in as Katy performed hit after hit. In one particularly circulated clip, he could be seen mouthing along to her chart-topping single, "Dark Horse."

The speculation surrounding Katy and Justin's relationship emerged on the heels of a significant life shift for the artist. In July, just before romance whispers began swirling, Katy and her longtime partner, actor Orlando Bloom, officially confirmed their split after more than a decade together.

The two — who had been engaged and shared many public milestones — are also parents to daughter Daisy Dove Bloom. In a statement provided to People, representatives for the ex-couple clarified that the decision to part ways had been unfolding over several months.

"Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting," the statement reads.

It also emphasizes that while their romantic chapter had closed, the duo's shared priority remains "raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect."

As for Justin and Sophie, their romantic chapter also came to an end — more than two years ago. They announced their separation in 2023. The couple — who married in Montreal in 2005 and share three children — revealed the news in a joint Instagram statement, affirming their continued commitment to family.

"We remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build," the message divulges.

Justin's office later confirmed that while the pair had signed a separation agreement, they intended to maintain a united front publicly, with plans to co-parent and occasionally vacation together as a family.

Justin and Sophie's love story saw them tie the knot in a fairytale ceremony in Montreal's Sainte-Madeleine d'Outremont church. Bagpipers, Mounties in full dress, and nearly 200 guests gathered to witness their vows, while Sophie, dressed in a dramatic lace-trimmed gown, declared herself "the luckiest woman in the world."

Sophie Trudeau, a former TV personality and passionate advocate for mental health and eating disorder awareness, stepped away from her official duties following the announcement.

Despite their marital split, the two have emphasized a respectful partnership — something still visible in their most recent family gathering.

And just when things couldn't get more tangled, Katy Perry herself added fuel to the fire. Just days after the headline-making yacht photos surfaced, she appeared to drop a cheeky hint about her love life during a stop on her Lifetimes Tour at London's O₂ Arena.

The 40-year-old musician stunned the crowd when she invited an English fan named Darren on stage, only to be met with a surprise proposal. Holding up a sign that read "Katy Perry, will you marry me?" the eager admirer caught the singer completely off guard.

But Katy quickly set the record straight with her trademark wit. "You heard I was single? That's interesting," she told the fan, before jokingly adding, "You know you really should have asked me about 48 hours ago."

As the audience erupted in laughter, Katy broke into a playful rendition of fellow famous singer JoJo's 2006 hit, singing, "He's just a little too late." Her actions seemed to reference her reported romance with Justin.

According to a source, the pair initially bonded in Montreal in July 2025, when Katy was still reeling from her breakup with Orlando.

At the time, she wasn't looking to date, but she and Justin kept in touch and realized they shared many interests, the insider said.

Since then, their connection has only deepened. "He's been pursuing her since," the source added. "He even flew to California to see her during a tour break. They have an easy connection. She finds him attractive. He's been very respectful."

While neither Katy nor Justin has publicly confirmed their relationship, the singer's teasing comments in London seemed to speak volumes. Dazzling in a bright jungle-themed outfit and backed by an adoring crowd, Katy looked every inch the pop powerhouse — confident, playful, and seemingly smitten.

Fans were quick to react to the budding romance following her and Justin's sighting on her yacht. "Good for them .. they deserve to be happy just like anyone else ❤️," one supporter wrote. "They make a great couple!❤️🙌 I wish them the best together. They are both good people. 👏👏👏👏👏👏," another echoed. "Good for them 👏👏," a third added.

"She would be a wonderful First Lady," opined a fellow fan. "Wow— that was definitely not in my bingo card. 😩🤦🏽‍♀️ [sic]," commented a surprised netizen.

But while many expressed support, others were quick to critique Justin's yacht attire — specifically, his choice of jeans, which stood in stark contrast to Katy's sleek swimsuit. "why is he wearing jeans at sea 😭 [sic]," one person asked. "Jeans?? Oh JT noooo 🙈 [sic]," another posted.

Initially, reports claimed that the duo's romance fizzled out after July due to Justin feeling overwhelmed by the attention that came with dating a global pop star. The pair had reportedly been texting nonstop, but a Daily Mail source had said it ended within two weeks.

Justin was also said to be unhappy that photos of their private date were leaked. "It was a first date. A first date! And these pictures came out, and it became this huge thing, which is not what he seems to have wanted," a source said.

While Katy appeared unfazed, insiders say it was Justin who felt uncomfortable with the sudden spotlight — an inauspicious start to what had seemed like a promising relationship.
