Why Katy Perry Isn’t Pursuing Justin Trudeau Romance Even Though They’ve ‘Stayed in Touch’

THE RUNDOWN

• Katy Perry and former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau’s romance is over for now.
• A source explained that while they remain in touch, Perry is not prioritizing dating.
• An insider spoke about their potential as a pair and what their first date was like.

Katy Perry and former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau’s three-stop Montreal date made global headlines, but it looks like the burgeoning romance isn’t moving forward for now. A source told People today that Perry isn’t pursuing a relationship with anyone.

“Katy isn’t looking to date right now,” the source said. “She’s still in the middle of a tour; she’s a single mom [to her almost 5-year-old daughter, Daisy] and navigating some major personal changes.”

Yesterday, a source told the outlet that it may not be over completely for her and Trudeau, but now is not their moment. “They had a casual first get-to-know-you date,” the insider said. “And although they have shared interests and plenty to talk about, dating just isn’t on her radar. She’s stayed in touch with Justin, but there are no current plans for another meet-up.”

Perry and Orlando Bloom announced they ended their engagement in July. “Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting,” their team shared in a statement. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is—and always will be—raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.”

Perry has been on her Lifetimes Tour this summer. She went out with Trudeau during her Canadian leg, and the politician attended her Montreal show. He is the first person she has been publicly linked to since her and Bloom’s split.
