Why Has Katy Perry And Justin Trudeau's New Romance Worried Her Friends? Here's What We Know

Former Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau confirmed his relationship with pop star, Katy Perry at her 41st birthday celebrations.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau's unexpected romance has quickly become one of the most talked-about celebrity pairings of 2025. A simple rumour about the summer fling between a global pop star and a former Prime Minister soon turned into the most trending love story on the internet, including their yacht outing news. However, while fans and the media have expressed their surprise, those close to Katy have a far more cautious approach to the blossoming romance. According to multiple outlets, her inner circle believes that their whirlwind romance may come with some risks that they might not be prepared for.

Why has Katy Perry's new romance with Justin Trudeau worried her friends?

According to sources close to Star Magazine, Katy Perry's friends are concerned about her new romance, especially the intentions behind Justin's involvement in this relationship. One insider claims that the former PM may be more interested in the renewed spotlight than the relationship itself. Sharing how Justin might not have much in his political path without his celebrity friends, the source said:

"People have been fascinated with Katy for years… Not so with Justin."

For those unaware, Justin Trudeau resigned from his political career in January 2025 due to internal party pressure and declining public approval. Katy Perry's team reportedly fears that her association with a global superstar has boosted his relevance. Consequently, he might depend on this bond for continued visibility. The source further added that Justin needs this relationship more than Katy, and it could be his anchor for the future.

Earlier concerns about the emotional timing of their bond had also surfaced on the internet. The Sun had previously reported that Katy's friends worry she may be entering a serious relationship too soon after the end of her engagement with Orlando Bloom. According to an insider, her friends want her to enjoy herself because they feel her heart has not fully healed from the breakup. Consequently, they had encouraged her to take things slow and choose a person who loves her for who she is. In the source's words:

"They don't want her to rush into something serious."

Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry's relationship history 

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau's relationship history has added more layers to their story. The pop star had ended her engagement to Orlando Bloom just a month before starting a new relationship with Justin, following weeks of speculation about her rocky relationship with Orlando. An insider told Sun, her friends think the relationship had brought her closure, but she was left grieving over it. On the other hand, Justin Trudeau had led a private personal life since his 2023 split from his ex-wife of nearly two decades, Sophie Grégoire. Katy and Orlando have a daughter, whereas Justin has three kids from his previous marriage. Although Justin is known to keep his personal life private, the relationship with Katy brought him into the international spotlight.
