Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau Get Cozy at Coachella in Surprise Date-Night Sighting

File this under extremely 2026: Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau did Coachella together and made it look like a very casual, very public date night.

The Coachella sighting

• Perry, 41, dropped an Instagram post on Sunday, April 11, sharing photos and video from the night before.
• One shot has her and Trudeau, 54, posted up with festival snacks; another shows them holding hands while wandering the Indio grounds.
• Wardrobe check: she kept it simple in a white T-shirt and matching shorts with a black hoodie tied at the waist. He matched the energy in a white tee, blue jeans, and a backward Montreal Alouettes baseball cap.
• The Alouettes (that would be the Canadian football team) even popped into the comments to applaud his hat and joked they owe Katy some team merch.
• They caught Justin Bieber’s headlining set on the main stage — yes, the one where Bieber sang along to his own older music videos playing from YouTube. 2026 remains weird in new and inventive ways. Perry joked that she was grateful for Premium so there were no ads breaking the vibe.

How we got here

Perry and Trudeau have been a thing since summer 2025. After the initial buzz, they apparently agreed to keep it lower key — word at the time was they were into each other but wanted to fly under the radar a bit. A few months later, in October 2025, they were in Paris to celebrate her 41st birthday. Friends reportedly think they work well together, and while she’s been happy and intentionally private about it, he hadn’t met many of her friends yet back then.

Exes and the family piece

Perry moved on with Trudeau not long after calling off her years-long, nearly decade-long engagement to Orlando Bloom, 49. She and Bloom are on co-parent duty with their daughter, Daisy, who’s 5. Trudeau, meanwhile, separated from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023 after 18 years of marriage; they share three kids.

As for blending worlds, Trudeau’s oldest son, Xavier, says Perry has been in his creative corner. Earlier this month on the 'Can’t Be Censored' podcast, he talked about sending her his songs and getting notes back.

When I’m really happy with a song, I send it to her. She’s always happy to give me advice or tell me what I should change. She’s super nice. She’s super down to earth. She’s great. I think that my dad’s happy so that’s important.

The vibe check

The relationship may be private by design, but a hand-in-hand stroll at Coachella — plus some snack time and a proudly Canadian hat — is about as clear a soft launch as it gets. And if you were wondering: Perry’s caption energy on the post matched the night — playful, slightly chaotic, and very much enjoying the moment.
