Katy Perry Joins Justin Trudeau for Diplomatic Lunch With Former Japanese Prime Minister

Katy Perry is a mom, pop star, former American Idol judge and now an international diplomat. On Thursday (Dec. 4), Justin Trudeau shared a photo of himself and the singer posing with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yuko, after a formal lunch together.

In a snap shared by Kishida on X, the two couples smile together in front of a colorful Christmas tree in an ornately decorated room. “Former Canadian Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau visited Japan with his partner and joined my wife and me for lunch,” the politician wrote.

“During [Trudeau’s] time as [Canadian] prime minister, we met multiple times as fellow leaders,” continued Kishida, who now serves in the House of Representatives of Japan. “I am delighted that we continue to maintain this friendship in this way.”

Trudeau was quick to reply to the post, writing that it was “great to see” Kishida. “Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko,” he gushed. “Thank you, Fumio, for your friendship and your continued commitment to both the international rules-based order and to a better future for everyone.”

The Canadian politician and singer started dating earlier this year. After weeks of rumors — and a batch of PDA-filled photos of the couple on a yacht — Trudeau and Perry confirmed their romance by stepping out together during late October in Paris for their first public outing as a couple.

However, they haven’t addressed their relationship on social media — until now. As one fan commented on Trudeau’s reply to Kishida’s post, “This might be the craziest hard launch in the history of the free world.”
