The pop star is reportedly officially dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, following months of quiet pursuit and late-night messages.

Now, after months of speculation, the pair are said to be exclusive, sealing their romance with a kiss aboard her yacht.

Insiders revealed that Trudeau was “relentless” in his pursuit of Katy Perry after her breakup with Bloom.

The Canadian politician’s trademark persistence seemed to carry over from his time in office.

“Justin was persistent when it came to dating Katy,” a source told the Daily Mail. “She enjoys his company and thinks he is incredibly smart, but she was initially scared to get into anything so fast.”

Despite Perry’s hesitation, Trudeau didn’t back down. “He continued to be present, continued showing up and wanting to be with her,” the insider added.

Their connection started with secret messages exchanged for months before they finally met in person.

The pair were first spotted strolling through Mount Royal Park in Montreal, looking relaxed and close.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s quiet romance took a public turn in July when they were seen sharing dinner and laughter at a cozy Montreal restaurant.

The couple sipped cocktails and enjoyed lobster dishes before stepping into the kitchen to thank the staff personally.

According to sources, Trudeau wasn’t happy about the pictures going viral.

“He wasn’t thrilled about the pictures getting out,” a source explained. “Katy didn’t seem to care nearly as much, but it wasn’t ideal for him.”

The 53-year-old, known for keeping his private life low-key, reportedly struggled with the sudden spotlight.

Still, he supported Perry by attending her concert two days later, standing proudly where he could be seen.

The pair were later caught in an intimate moment aboard the singer’s yacht, The Caravelle, off the coast of Santa Barbara.

A witness recalled, “She pulled up her boat next to a small public whale-watching boat, then they started making out. I didn’t realize who she was with until I saw the tattoo on his arm.”

Though their affection seems strong, both Perry and her man are determined to keep their relationship private.

“One thing that was important to her and will continue to be is not broadcasting their relationship,” a source said. “Katy has no care for the public to know who she is dating. She wants it to happen naturally.”

The “Dark Horse” crooner has been open about protecting her personal life after years of being in the public eye.

This time, she’s letting things unfold quietly, even as photos of her and Trudeau flood the internet.

Both have endured public breakups and are focused on balance, with sources confirming their relationship is “exclusive” and “very strong right now.”

Even with a packed schedule, Katy Perry has found time for romance. The 40-year-old is currently in the European leg of her 91-date Lifetimes world tour, which wraps up in December.

Thankfully, insiders say the distance hasn’t weakened their bond. “She likes that she still has some of her tour to go, so she won’t be with Justin all the time,” a source said. “But she is happy enough with him that absence is making the heart grow fonder.”

Perry, who has faced a rough few months with a poorly received album and a criticized space flight, seems to have found new energy in her relationship with Trudeau.

Friends say she admires his intelligence and compassion, especially as a father to his three kids.

Katy Perry recently addressed her new romance publicly for the first time, though with her usual humor.

During her London concert, a fan proposed to her on stage. Laughing, she replied, per the Daily Mail, “I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago.”

She then joked, “No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time… but not anymore,” subtly confirming her commitment to Trudeau.

Meanwhile, Trudeau’s ex-wife Sophie Grégoire has seemingly reflected on their past relationship.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, the TV host shared a message about “letting go” of love.

“Sometimes we forget that nothing we love is ever meant to be kept,” she wrote. “Love was never about possession; it was always about presence.”

Grégoire added that letting go was “also a form of keeping,” a message fans believed was directed at her ex-husband’s new chapter with Perry.
