Katy Perry has once again captured the spotlight — but this time, it’s not for a new single or stadium tour.
The pop star was recently seen in Montreal sharing what many described as a “cozy” and “intimate” dinner with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The unexpected pairing quickly set social media ablaze.
While the two were photographed enjoying lobster and cocktails at a high-end restaurant, witnesses couldn’t help but notice their ease and chemistry. According to insiders, Katy leaned in attentively as Trudeau spoke, the pair appearing engrossed in private conversation.
Security kept a discreet watch while the duo dined, and the restaurant’s chef personally greeted them before they made a rare visit to the kitchen to thank the staff.
This seemingly innocent dinner would’ve passed quietly, if not for the timing — both Katy and Justin are newly single. Perry, 40, recently ended her long-term relationship with actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares a young daughter, Daisy.
Trudeau also announced his separation from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau last year, ending an 18-year marriage. The pair share three children.
Though fans speculated whether the dinner was romantic or simply diplomatic, a source told People,
“They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes… there is an attraction. They have a lot in common.”
The pair reportedly met during a Toronto charity gala and have remained in touch due to their shared interests in environmental activism and global causes.
As the internet debated the possible romance, many turned their attention to Orlando Bloom, curious how he might respond to headlines featuring his ex and the former world leader.
Surprisingly, Bloom didn’t issue a statement or show public discomfort. Instead, he responded with humor.
After The Onion posted a satirical, AI-generated image of Bloom on a faux romantic dinner date with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the actor replied in the comments with three clapping emojis.
The simple gesture sent fans into a frenzy, interpreting it as subtle shade or a round of applause for Perry’s headline-making dinner.
While Katy and Justin have yet to confirm or deny anything, the rumors continue to swirl. With both navigating new chapters in their personal lives, the possibility of a budding relationship can’t be ruled out.
But the biggest surprise may not be the dinner itself — it’s how gracefully Orlando Bloom responded.
Without saying a word, he managed to acknowledge the world’s curiosity with a single comment.
And in the end, that clap-back might have just stolen the show.
