Singer Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appear to have confirmed their relationship after they were photographed holding hands at an event in Paris.
Celebrity news website TMZ published photos and videos of the couple walking hand in hand before getting into a car. Trudeau can be seen helping the singer into the back seat as photographers scream.
Neither Perry nor Trudeau have publicly commented on their relationship. But speculation has been growing for weeks thanks to numerous photos of the two together.
Trudeau was spotted at a Perry concert earlier this year, fueling romance rumors with the pop star.
The appearance in Paris coincided with Perry's 41st birthday over the weekend and appeared to mark their first public appearance as a couple.
Representatives for Perry and Trudeau's Liberal Party did not immediately respond to the BBC's requests for comment.
During a recent tour of London, Perry appeared to hint at her marital status.
After a fan proposed to her from the audience during her performance, the singer joked: “I wish you had asked me 48 hours ago.” This comes just days after photos of her and Trudeau were first posted online.
Perry was previously in a long-term relationship with actor Orlando Bloom. The couple, who were together for ten years and had a daughter together, broke up in the summer.
Trudeau, who served as Canada's prime minister from 2015 to 2025, was previously married to Sophie Gregoire for 18 years before the couple separated in the summer of 2023. They have three children.
