KATY PERRY'S CANADIAN CRUSH: POP STAR'S ROMANCE WITH JUSTIN TRUDEAU HEATS UP?

In a shocking turn of events, Katy Perry seems to have confirmed her rumored romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The 40-year-old pop sensation sparked whispers about their budding relationship when she "liked" a satirical article from The Onion, which jokingly suggested that she was smitten with the charming Canadian politician.

The comedic piece, titled "Katy Perry Releases New Single About Superiority Of Canadian Manufacturing," poked fun at Perry's apparent fascination with all things Canadian. The fake song produced by Max Martin featured lyrics that left little to the imagination, with Perry saying, "I like to write about what's going on in my life, and right now, I'm definitely in my single, flirty, manufacturing-powerhouse era... British Columbia's hydrogen fuel cell industry is a whole mood."

While Trudeau wasn't directly mentioned by name, it's clear that the subtext of the article was Perry's alleged romance with the liberal politician. And if you thought that was just a joke, think again! Sources close to the couple have been hinting at their blossoming relationship for weeks.

Just days before liking the Onion article, Perry addressed her concert crowd in London, leaving little to the imagination when she said, "London, England, you're like this on a Monday night after a whole day at work and a whole day at school? No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time... but not anymore."

But before we get ahead of ourselves, let's take a step back. This isn't Perry's first high-profile romance – she's been linked to several A-listers in the past, including Orlando Bloom and Russell Brand. So, what makes Justin Trudeau so special?

On Monday, the 40-year-old hitmaker 'liked' a satirical post from The Onion about her that alluded to her apparent relationship with Trudeau, 53.

The pair was spotted getting cozy on Perry's yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, just last month. An eyewitness revealed that they were "making out" aboard the vessel while Perry's daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, looked on. And if that wasn't enough, exclusive pictures obtained by The Scholarly Note show the couple snuggled up together on Perry's yacht, leaving fans and critics alike wondering: are they or aren't they?

Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau's ex-wife Sophie has been keeping a low profile since their divorce in August 2023. But it seems like she's finally broken her silence – sort of. In a cryptic Instagram post, Sophie shared her thoughts on love and heartbreak, saying, "Sometimes we forget that nothing we love is ever meant to be kept... The people, the places, even the moments that once felt infinite."

While Sophie didn't directly mention Trudeau or Perry's rumored romance, it's clear that she's still reeling from their split. But as she so eloquently put it, "Love was never about possession; it was always about presence." And if you ask us, it looks like Katy and Justin are certainly present in each other's lives – for now.

The article jokingly claimed Perry had written a Canadian-themed song and had developed an interest in Canadian industries, something that could have rubbed off from Trudeau, who was alluded to but not directly referenced; seen October 13 in London

As the rumors continue to swirl, we can't help but wonder: will this Canadian crush turn into something more? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure – when it comes to love, Katy Perry is always up for a challenge!

The singer also received a surprise marriage proposal from a fan during the show but had to turn it down, she laughed: 'I wish you'd asked me 48 hours ago'
