Will Justin Trudeau get engaged to Katy Perry in 2026?
Yes +1000 No -5000
At this point, fans aren’t sure if the couple’s love story is heading toward a “Firework” moment or just another “Teenage Dream”. Before you make any predictions or place any bets, let’s take a look at how these two got here.
Relationship Timeline
July 2025
The pair made international headlines after being spotted together in Montreal. First they went for a walk along Mount Royal Park with Perry’s dog, and were later seen enjoying a quiet dinner together at a popular local restaurant, Le Violon.
Trudeau was seen taking in Perry’s concert performance at the Bell Centre just a few days later, singing along to her hit song “Firework”. At this point, it became clear that a relationship was blossoming and the public’s curiosity quickly turned into obsession.
October 2025
While the pair laid low for a couple of months, paparazzi caught them in October boarding Perry’s yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara in California. The two were seen in an intimate embrace, with a shirtless Trudeau wrapping his arms around the pop icon. Needless to say, it was all fans needed to send the rumour mill into overdrive.
A few days later, with everyone still speculating on their budding relationship, Trudeau was again spotted at one of Perry’s concerts, this time in London. At one point, when a fan who was brought on stage got down on one knee and proposed to the recording artist, she jokingly hinted at the fact that she was no longer single.
Near the end of October, the two spent a night on the town in Paris, celebrating Perry’s 41st birthday. This was the first time the pair made a public appearance as a couple, and they were spotted hand-in-hand leaving a Crazy Horse Paris cabaret show.
Dating History
Everyone has a past, and that’s especially true for celebrities. It doesn’t matter if you’re a politician or a performing artist; when millions of people track your love life, it can be hard to shake your dating history.
As many Canadians know from his time as prime minister, Trudeau was married to Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2005. The couple share three children and had a long political career together, before eventually announcing their separation back in 2023.
Katy Perry has a long and interesting dating history, which includes big names like Russell Brand, John Mayer and Diplo. But her most serious relationship was with actor Orlando Bloom. The couple got engaged in 2019 but ended up splitting in 2025 and now share custody of their five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.
Recent Developments
This love story is filled with drama and it continues to unfold in the media, so keep your popcorn nearby. Just recently, Trudeau’s ex-wife finally broke her silence on the rumours surrounding Trudeau and Perry, giving the public an inside look at how she’s handling their new romance.
In an interview on the podcast Arlene is Alone, the former First Lady of Canada talked about co-parenting with her ex and how it feels to face the constant scrutiny that comes with living in the public eye. Grégoire Trudeau says she tries to “listen to the music instead of the noise.”
The interview gained a lot of attention in the media, as people look for any insights they can get on the tabloids’ latest celebrity couple.
Deciding Factors
As crazy as it may seem, we could soon see Trudeau pop the question to his Diamond-certified recording artist girlfriend. Whether or not this happens in 2026 remains to be seen, but there are a number of factors that can have an impact on how their relationship unfolds.
Why It Could Work
- Compatible lifestyles – Trudeau and Perry are both celebrities, so they’re equally accustomed to the travel and public interest that would come with their high-profile romance.
- Timing – He’s 53 and she’s 41; both have been through their fair share of ups and downs, leading to the maturity and personal growth that comes with getting older and wiser.
- Media Attention – Let’s be honest, celebrities love media attention. While they may not enjoy being hounded by the paparazzi, keeping your name in the headlines is an added bonus to their love affair.
Why It Won’t Work
- Scheduling Conflicts – As two high-profile individuals, Trudeau and Perry both have demanding schedules that take them all over the world and would make a serious relationship nearly impossible.
- Public Scrutiny – The public can’t seem to get enough of this unlikely power couple, but all of that media attention and constant spotlight could end up making things extremely difficult.
- Different Worlds – At the end of the day, Trudeau and Perry come from very different worlds. While they may have good intentions, sometimes the gap is just too big to ignore.
Final Verdict
So, do you think Justin Trudeau will propose to Katy Perry in 2026? While the couple hasn’t come out as official just yet, it’s pretty clear that their romance is growing. A proposal this fast may seem unlikely, but at +1000, it would come with a massive payout for anyone who’s brave enough to bet on love!
