After nearly a decade of romantic whiplash, pop sensation Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom officially ended their relationship in July, closing the chapter on a six-year engagement and a courtship worthy of its own reality show. From Met Gala reunions to cryptic Instagram captions, the duo’s love story had fans alternately swooning and sighing. But now, with Perry officially single and freshly released into the celebrity dating wild, the public has turned its collective magnifying glass toward her next potential match, and possibly, her most surprising one yet.

Enter, stage left, the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, bearing diplomacy and, allegedly, flirtation.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau might be dating but both of the parties have not confirmed the rumors yet. They sparked fresh romance rumors following multiple appearances together in Montréal, according to PEOPLE. A Canadian source told the outlet, “They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes.” The insider added that both the pop star and the former prime minister are juggling busy lives, noting, “She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada.”

This week, the pair were spotted together during multiple outings in Montréal, including a dog walk through Mount Royal Park and a private dinner during her tour break, which from the eyes of the internet can be termed "romantic". Though they kept things discreet, sources confirmed Trudeau and Perry “enjoyed cocktails and several dishes.” As one insider told PEOPLE, “He knows they were being watched and is smart enough to play it low-key for now.” Their chemistry may be subtle, but the buzz is building.

While Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have not responded to the dating rumors yet, Orlando Bloom has had an unexpectedly humorous reaction to it.

As reports of a possible romantic connection between Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the rounds online, Orlando Bloom, Perry’s former fiancé, appeared to respond with levity rather than outrage. The actor left three clapping hands emojis on an Instagram post by The Onion, which humorously claimed Bloom had been seen dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The post was entirely fictional but served as timely satire, clearly echoing the week’s relationship headlines.

Bloom’s reaction was interpreted as a light-hearted acknowledgment of the ongoing buzz without addressing Perry or Trudeau directly. The gesture drew praise for its restraint and humor, suggesting that Bloom is handling the rumors with poise and maturity. While fans continue to speculate about Perry's post-breakup prospects, Bloom’s emoji-based diplomacy may be the most graceful exit from the narrative yet, quietly bowing out with applause and letting the internet write its own rom-com ending.
