During Perry’s travels in Japan — which came as part of her ongoing Lifetimes Tour — the singer joined Trudeau as he visited former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yuko, on Wednesday, Dec. 3. Kishida, 68, shared a photo of the group posing by a Christmas tree in a post on X, calling Perry the “partner” of Trudeau.
“Former Canadian Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau visited Japan with his partner and joined my wife and me for lunch,” he wrote in his caption in Japanese. “During his time as prime minister, we met multiple times as fellow leaders, and when I visited Canada, we worked together to strengthen bilateral relations, including formulating the ‘Japan-Canada Action Plan,’ sweating it out side by side. I am delighted that we continue to maintain this friendship in this way.”
Trudeau later expressed the same sentiment when he reposted Kishida’s message.
“Great to see you @kishida230,” he wrote in his caption.
Added Trudeau: “Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko. Thank you, Fumio, for your friendship and your continued commitment to both the international rules-based order and to a better future for everyone.”

Perry and Trudeau first sparked romance rumors over the summer, when they were spotted on a date in Montreal, Canada.
At the time of their first public outing, the “Bandaids” musician had recently separated from her ex-fiancé, Orlando Bloom, in June. Trudeau, meanwhile, had separated from his wife, Sophie Grégoire, after 18 years of marriage in 2023.
A source previously told PEOPLE that Trudeau had “been pursuing” the Grammy nominee since their dates in Montreal. “He even flew to California to see her during a tour break,” the insider said. “They have an easy connection. She finds him attractive. He’s been very respectful.”
Perry and Trudeau made their first public appearance as a couple on Oct. 25. They attended a cabaret show at the Crazy Horse Paris to mark the mom of one’s birthday, according to TMZ.
In photos, the pair could be seen walking out of the theater while holding hands and smiling.
