Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau spotted dining together in Montreal, sparking dating buzz online.
In a surprising crossover that sent the internet into a frenzy, pop icon Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were spotted dining together at Le Violon, a cozy neighbourhood restaurant in Montreal’s Le Plateau, on Monday, July 28. The unexpected pairing comes just weeks after Perry’s confirmed split from actor Orlando Bloom, fueling speculation that this dinner was more than just a friendly meet-up.
According to a report by People, the duo enjoyed a leisurely meal featuring cocktails and gourmet dishes, including a lobster entrée. They were also seen visiting the kitchen to meet Chef Danny Smiles, thanking the staff before they left the restaurant. The dinner reportedly lasted over two hours, and paparazzi snaps of the evening quickly made their way across social media, sparking headlines and hashtags.
While fans were quick to dub it a “date night,” sources close to the situation are painting a different picture. A TMZ report suggests that there may be no romantic angle here at all. Danny Smiles, co-owner and chef of Le Violon, told TMZ that the vibe between Perry and Trudeau didn’t read as romantic. “They seemed like two friends having a relaxed meal,” he noted, shutting down rumours of a budding relationship.
Still, the timing of the dinner has added to the intrigue. Earlier this month, Perry and Bloom, who share a daughter, Daisy Dove, publicly confirmed their separation after months of speculation. In a joint statement, their representatives stated that the couple had been “shifting their relationship to focus on co-parenting” and that their priority remains raising their daughter “with love, stability, and mutual respect.”
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s relationship began in 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty, leading to an engagement in 2019 and the birth of their daughter in 2020.
Justin Trudeau, meanwhile, separated from his wife, former TV host Sophie Grégoire, in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. The former couple share three children—Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien. At the time, Trudeau posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, saying, “We remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other.”
Whether Perry and Trudeau are simply friends or something more, neither party has commented on the evening or addressed the rumours. But in an era where celebrity sightings spark global headlines within minutes, one thing is certain: this dinner has left fans curious and the internet buzzing.
Was it just a casual catch-up or the beginning of a new chapter for two high-profile single parents? Time, or perhaps another dinner, will tell.
