Justin Trudeau , the former Canadian Prime Minister , was spotted enjoying a romantic fling with American pop star Katy Perry . The pair was seen cuddling up on a yacht with Trudeau wearing nothing but a pair of jeans and Prry wearing a black swimsuit.
Trudeau ended his marriage with ex-wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023, while Perry split from actor Orlando Bloom in July.
Critics were quick to point out that Justin Trudeau may be following in his father’s footsteps by dating a famous singer, suggesting it might run in their genes.
“I don’t think anyone that knows him is surprised that Justin would date someone famous,” said a society source cited by Page Six. “It does echo his father. It’s in his DNA to do this.”
The source was referencing Pierre Trudeau, Justin’s father, who was involved with singer-actress Barbra Streisand back in the 1906s. Pierre and Barbara had a brief but highly publicised romance in 1969 and 1970. Streisand recalled in her memoir My Name Is Barbra that Trudeau was "very dapper, intelligent, intense... kind of a combination of Albert Einstein and Napoleon (only taller)."
Their relationship included public outings, like a January 1970 event in Ottawa where Streisand wore a noticeable white fur outfit.
Despite their chemistry, the romance ended because of their age gap—Streisand was 27 and Trudeau 50—and the demands of their careers. Streisand later said she could not fully connect with Trudeau emotionally but still admired him. When he passed away in 2000, she paid tribute to him, recognising both his leadership and their lasting friendship.
For Justin Trudeau, history repeated itself in a more modern context. The former Canadian Prime Minister’s attraction to high-profile women and his enjoyment of public attention mirrors that of his father.
