American singer Katy Perry has praised former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for providing a level of support in their relationship that surpasses her previous romances.
The 41-year-old pop star spoke about her partner while attending a Los Angeles screening of her new concert film, Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour - Live from Paris, on Wednesday, August 26, 2026. Perry and the 54-year-old former politician have been together for one year.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the event, Perry stated that Trudeau was simply there to support her as she pursued her music career. She explained that while she had previous partners who attended her concerts and supported her in their own ways, Trudeau's backing was on a completely different level.
Entertainment Tonight published a video clip of the interview on the social media platform X on August 27, 2026, showing the singer speaking enthusiastically about the former prime minister's commitment to their relationship.
Past relationships and family background
Perry's comments follow a series of high-profile relationships. Most recently, she was in a relationship with British actor Orlando Bloom until July 2025, when the couple officially announced their separation. Perry and Bloom share a six-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.
Before her relationship with Bloom, Perry was married to British comedian and actor Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012. Brand ended their two-year marriage by sending her a text message.
In 2012, Perry began dating American singer John Mayer. The pair experienced multiple breakups and reconciliations over three years before ending their relationship in 2015. During her time with Mayer, Perry was also briefly linked to American DJ and record producer Diplo in 2014.
Recent outings and public appearances
The Los Angeles movie screening follows several public appearances by Perry and Trudeau during the summer of 2026. On August 13, 2026, the couple was spotted together during a trip to Sardinia, an island in the Mediterranean Sea.
Four days later, on August 17, 2026, Trudeau's son shared a video on social media showing his father and Perry dancing and jumping together inside a retail store in Canada as one of Perry's songs played in the background.
Perry's latest comments at the film screening offer a rare public look into her relationship with Trudeau as she continues promoting her Paris concert film.
