Well, it looks like the rumors were true — Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are more than just friendly dinner companions.
After months of quiet speculation, the 40-year-old “Teenage Dream” pop star and the 53-year-old former Prime Minister of Canada were spotted getting very cozy off the coast of Santa Barbara, California — and the photos are leaving little room for doubt.
In a series of paparazzi shots obtained by The Daily Mail, the two were seen embracing and sharing a kiss while enjoying a private day on the water. Katy looked relaxed in a black swimsuit, while Justin kept things casual — and shirtless — showing off a tattoo on his left arm as he leaned in close.
According to one onlooker, the moment was pure surprise. “She pulled up her boat next to a small public whale-watching boat, then they started making out,” an eyewitness told the outlet. “I didn’t realize who she was with until I saw the tattoo on the guy’s arm and I immediately realized it was Justin Trudeau.”
The photos were reportedly snapped by a passenger on a nearby tourist boat late last month, instantly reigniting buzz around their supposed romance.
Katy and Justin first sparked dating rumors back in July, when they were spotted grabbing dinner together in Montreal while she was in town for her Lifetimes Tour. Days later, Justin was seen attending her concert — a move that didn’t exactly go unnoticed.
Since then, the two have kept their connection mostly out of the public eye, but sources have hinted there’s definitely something brewing. According to insiders, Katy and Justin “are interested in each other,” and have been keeping things low-key while they navigate the early stages of their relationship.
One thing’s for sure — whether it’s a summer fling or something more serious, Katy and Justin definitely aren’t hiding anymore.
Looks like love is officially in the air.
