Pop superstar Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have made their inaugural major public appearance as a couple at the prestigious World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The high-profile pair were photographed walking hand-in-hand at the global economic summit, solidifying their status as one of the world's most talked-about new power couples.
A Stylish Arrival at the Global Summit
The 41-year-old "Teenage Dream" singer and the 54-year-old former political leader made a striking entrance at the Swiss forum. Trudeau appeared in a sophisticated navy blue suit complemented by a patterned tie, while Perry opted for a more understated yet elegant ensemble featuring a beige buttoned sweater paired with a matching pencil skirt. The pop icon completed her look with a sophisticated low bun hairstyle and striking large square gold earrings, demonstrating her signature fashion sensibility on the international stage.
From Rumors to Official Romance
The couple's relationship timeline reveals a gradual progression from speculation to public confirmation. Initial romance rumors surfaced in July 2025 when they were spotted dining together at a Montreal restaurant. The following evening, Trudeau was observed attending Perry's Lifetime Tour concert in the city alongside his teenage daughter, further fueling speculation about their connection.
Their relationship became publicly acknowledged in October 2025 when they were photographed exiting Le Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris together on Perry's birthday. The couple took the significant step of making their romance Instagram official in December 2025, shortly after their first diplomatic engagement as a pair. This official confirmation came after former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida shared photographs of himself and his wife Yuko meeting Perry and Trudeau for lunch.
Previous Relationships and Public Statements
Trudeau's marital history includes an 18-year marriage to former model and television host Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, which ended in separation in August 2023. The former political couple, who married in 2005, share three children: Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien. Trudeau stepped down from his position as Canadian Prime Minister in 2024 after a decade in office.
In November 2025, Grégoire Trudeau addressed her ex-husband's new high-profile relationship during an appearance on the Arlene is Alone podcast. She acknowledged the potential emotional triggers of public attention, stating: "I'm very aware that a lot of public stuff out there can be triggers. What I do with it is my decision. The woman I want to become through this is my decision." She emphasized the importance of processing emotions, adding: "I'll let myself be disappointed by someone, I'll let myself be angry, be sad. And I know for a fact how important it is, as a mental health advocate, to feel those emotions."
Perry's relationship history includes her separation from British actor Orlando Bloom, announced on July 4, 2025. The former couple share five-year-old daughter Daisy Dove Bloom. An official statement at the time clarified: "Representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect."
Celebrity Presence at Davos
The World Economic Forum in Davos traditionally attracts numerous high-profile figures beyond political and business leaders. This year's event is expected to feature appearances from other notable celebrities including actor Matt Damon and former football star David Beckham, though Perry and Trudeau's joint attendance has undoubtedly captured significant media attention as their first major power couple appearance on the global stage.
