Katy Perry shares new Justin Trudeau selfie in cryptic ‘karma’ post

Last year, pop culture and politics collided when Katy Perry hard-launched her relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The unexpected couple made their first official public debut in October, stepping out in Paris, aka the ‘City of Love,’ to celebrate the star’s birthday.

Since then, the pair have been pretty inseparable, with Katy documenting many of their globe-trotting escapades on Instagram.

From lunching with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yuko, in Tokyo to that steamy Santa Barbara yacht moment, the couple have fit in a lot over the last six months.

Now, Katy has given fans another glimpse into her relationship. The 41-year-old took to the ‘gram last night to share a ‘life lately’ photo dump
— which happened to include a loved-up shot of the pair.

In the photo, Katy is seen wearing a sleeveless black cocktail dress and gold jewellery, with her hair slicked back in an elegant low bun.

With her left arm on Justin’s shoulder and her right resting on his chest inside his jacket, she smiled lovingly at the former politician.

Meanwhile, Justin, 54, who also got the black attire memo in a blazer and T-shirt, placed his arm on her lower back.

Katy also shared a cryptic caption alongside the carousel, writing: ‘Never knew karma could be so rewarding.’

Fans will know this is a lyric from her 2013 Prism album track ‘Legendary Lovers,’ a spiritual song said to be inspired by her former relationship with John Mayer.

However, thanks to the lyrical themes of destined connections and describing a love that transcends ordinary romance, it almost feels as if she’s relating to the song once more.

Plus, in between the loved-up photo, she posted a snap of a fortune cookie message, which read: ‘The stage is set. Soon you will encounter a whole new world of opportunity.’

After sharing the post, many fans took to the comments section to gush over the caption and the snap of Katy and Justin together.

‘I’m so happy for you and Justin. Keep living your best life. You are amazing,’ one person said, while another typed: ‘MOM AND DAD,’ referencing the couple.

Elsewhere, someone else penned: ‘Glad to see you with Justin, hope it works. Cute couple,’ as a fourth and fifth gushed: ‘Adorable !!!! So happy,’ and ‘I love you two together,’ followed by a string of love hearts.

Before Justin, Katy was engaged to A-List actor Orlando Bloom. The pair met in 2016 and, despite a brief breakup between 2017 and 2018, they announced their engagement in 2019.

Katy and Orlando also welcomed a daughter, Daisy Dove, in August 2020. Sadly, their romance was not to be, and they called it quits for good in June 2025.

As for Justin, he split with his wife of 18 years, Sophie Grégoire, in 2023, following ‘meaningful and difficult conversations’. The pair have three children together: a son, Xavier, a daughter, Ella-Grace, and a second son, Hadrien.
