Katy Perry has shared Instagram photos from her Japan trip featuring former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, marking their first official social media appearance as a couple. The posts come amid Perry's ongoing Lifetimes Tour and a diplomatic lunch they attended together with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife. Speculation about their relationship had been building since earlier in 2025.
Relationship Confirmation
On December 6, 2025, Katy Perry posted a carousel of photos and videos on Instagram from her time in Tokyo, captioned “tokyo times on tour and more.” The 41-year-old singer included several images with her 53-year-old partner, Justin Trudeau, such as a cheek-to-cheek outdoor pose, a black-and-white clip of them sharing sushi, and a shot admiring a sparkly art installation. This marks the couple's Instagram official debut, following rumors that began over the summer.
Diplomatic Lunch Details
Perry joined Trudeau for a formal lunch on December 4, 2025, with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yuko Kishida. The group posed for a photo in front of a colorful Christmas tree in an ornately decorated room, which Kishida shared on X. “Former Canadian Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau visited Japan with his partner and joined my wife and me for lunch,” Kishida wrote. “During [Trudeau’s] time as [Canadian] prime minister, we met multiple times as fellow leaders. I am delighted that we continue to maintain this friendship in this way.”
Trudeau replied, “Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko. Thank you, Fumio, for your friendship and your continued commitment to both the international rules-based order and to a better future for everyone.” The image quickly went viral, with fans reacting enthusiastically. One user called it “the craziest hard launch in the history of the free world,” while another noted, “the concept of hard launching your new gf by meeting the former pm of japan.”
Background Context
The pair's romance first drew public attention in October 2025, with reports of them embracing and kissing on a yacht, as published by the Daily Mail. They confirmed their relationship with a public appearance in Paris later that month. Perry has been in Japan performing dates on her Lifetimes Tour, blending her professional commitments with personal travels alongside Trudeau.
