In a plot twist no one expected, Katy Perry has been filmed enjoying a cosy dinner with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau weeks after she and Orlando Bloom called it a day on their relationship.
The Fireworks singer, 40 and Trudeau, 53, looked deep in conversation at Montreal’s Le Violon restaurant in a short video.
In the clip, filmed by an onlooker, Katy can be seen leaning in to hear Trudeau over a table in the Canadian city, as she smiled with her dark hair down, while the politician wore a brown jacket.
Alongside the video of their dinner obtained by Daily Mail, TMZ also report the pair headed out earlier in the evening to have a few drinks on the terrace at Taverne Atlantic.
Le Violon chef Danny Smiles told the US outlet there was no PDA when he served them.
It’s not clear whether the pair are romantically involved, or just enjoying a casual dinner together while Katy is on the Canadian leg of her Lifetimes Tour.
Both have endured a difficult year, with the California Gurls hitmaker releasing a disappointing album, facing backlash for her Blue Origin flight to space, and splitting from British star Orlando after nine years together.
While the Lord of the Rings actor, 48, and the popstar never tied the knot, they got engaged in 2019 and share a four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.
In a joint statement issued to US media outlets in July, representatives for the couple said the pair ‘have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting’.
‘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,’ it continued.
Sources claimed that the former couple ‘had to admit’ they would be better parents to their daughter if they weren’t a couple.
Another insider said: ‘At a certain point, they had to admit it’s better for Daisy to see their parents separately, then she won’t grow up feeling the tension and animosity.’
‘They are there for Daisy and have been,’ added the source. ‘They want to keep a friendly relationship so each can be around her separately or together.’
While Bloom has posted cryptic messages on social media about ‘new beginnings’ since, Katy has ditched her engagement ring on public outings.
Meanwhile, Trudeau announced his resignation in January after 10 years in power ahead of a major election, as opposition grew following a series of by-election defeats.
