Former Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, and pop singer Katy Perry have reportedly been hitting it off as they were most recently spotted kissing on a yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara.
They were first seen together in July
Trudeau and Perry were first spotted together in July, and were more recently seen in photos published on October 12 of them kissing on a yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, per The Daily Mail.
A source has now revealed that the pair have an ‘easy connection’, describing how they got together.
The source said Perry wasn’t looking to date
Speaking to People in a conversation published on Monday October 13, the source said of Perry, “When she first hung out with Justin, she wasn’t looking to date, but they stayed in touch.”
“They have many shared interests and a lot of talk about, but Katy was navigating too many things to even think about dating then.”
They said Trudeau has been ‘pursuing her’
The source added that after their first date in Montreal in July, Trudeau, 53, has ‘been pursuing her ever since’.
Perry’s, 40, split from fiancé Orlando Bloom, 48, was confirmed this summer during her international Lifetimes Tour.
The pair haven’t themselves spoken about it
The source added of Trudeau, “He even flew to California to see her during a tour break. They have an easy connection. She finds him attractive. He’s been very respectful.”
Neither Perry nor Trudeau have themselves spoken about the connection yet.
They had a night out in Montreal
The singer and politician were first spotted together taking a stroll with a dog in Montreal, before stepping out for a dinner date that same night at Montreal hotspot Le Violon.
According to a photo shared on social media, Trudeau was also spotted two days later at Perry’s Lifetimes Tour concert at Montreal’s Bell Centre.
The pair apparently had an ‘instant connection’
In August, a source shared to People magazine that Trudeau and Perry had an ‘instant connection’.
They said, “They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes.”
They reportedly ‘have a lot in common’
The source went on at the time, “She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction.”
