Popular showbiz gossip news outlet TMZ published photos of Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau dining together, which led to speculation of a budding romance.
However, Samantha Jin, a communications consultant for Le Violin, said the two globally renowned personalities kept to themselves, and neither the staff nor the patrons approached them for a photo. She also said that people at the restaurant “kind of ·got the vibe that they were a little more chill.”
The restaurant in question is Le Violin in Montreal, Canada. The speculation is further fueled by the fact that both of them are separated from their partners. Perry recently broke up with her longtime partner, Orlando Bloom, and is on tour with stops including Ottawa on Tuesday, Montreal on Wednesday, Quebec City on Friday, and two dates in Toronto next week, the Guardian reported on Thursday, July 30th. Trudeau and his ex-wife Sophie Grégoire separated in 2023.
Steak tartar, tuna, lobster and lamb
During the meal, Jin said security watched from the bar as the pair dined on a chef’s menu featuring several starters, including tuna, steak tartare, lobster and asparagus, with lamb as their main course.
The Le Violin chef, Danny Smiles, visited the pair at their table to say hello, and before heading out, they came into the kitchen to thank the team. Spokespeople for Trudeau and Perry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trudeau announced his resignation as Canada´s prime minister earlier this year after nearly a decade in power. His father, the late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was a bachelor when he became prime minister. He dated the actors Barbra Streisand and Kim Cattrall and married a 22-year-old woman while in office at age 51.
Born and raised in California, Perry is a 13-time Grammy Award nominee. She helped usher in the sound of the 2000s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time for her anthems.
The American singer has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010’s Teenage Dream. The album produced five No. 1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson’s 1987 album Bad.
