Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry’s dating rumors have been taking the internet by storm, especially after the pair dined together in Montreal. Even so, sources close to Trudeau insisted that the high-profile dinner was nothing but a friendly meal. A new report revealed that the swirl of dating rumors surprised the former Canadian prime minister.
Justin Trudeau didn’t consider his interaction with Katy Perry to be more than ‘dinner,’ according to a source
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s dinner in Montreal did nothing but fuel their dating rumors. They dined together at Le Violon, one of Montreal’s finest restaurants, even meeting the staff later to acknowledge their services. Though some onlookers described their dinner as intimate, and rumors of Trudeau keeping close to Perry emerged, restaurant staff and the reportedly chef told a different story. Those who greeted Perry and Trudeau at the restaurant claimed the pair did not have any PDA moments.
Former celebrity publicist Rob Shuter told The Daily Mail, “I’ve heard [Trudeau] feels a bit ambushed by all this.” Shuter added that while the pop singer saw the evening as a date, Trudeau had no such impression. “He wanted tickets to her show and she invited him,” the former publicist explained, continuing, “While that was going on, she invited him for dinner.”
The source suggested the outcome may have been an unintended PR event for both. Publicist Natasha Koifman pointed out to CBC News that the very public nature of their meeting could have been strategic. “I think it elevates both of their brands, for very different reasons, to be seen together,” she said. Koifman added their dinner “a really great brand and reputational move” for both parties.
Additionally, Perry and Trudeau reportedly spent part of the evening walking one of Perry’s dogs, and Trudeau later attended her Montreal concert with his daughter. Despite the headlines, neither Katy Perry nor Justin Trudeau has addressed the dating rumors publicly. Perry’s friends were seemingly skeptical about the rumors, noting that she typically shares details of serious relationships more openly.
As the speculations play out, both parties seem content to let the story run its course without public comment, leaving onlookers wondering about the nature of their relationship.
