"It happened, as so many things seem to nowadays, on a yacht. Last weekend, the Daily Mail published a series of photographs in which the American pop star Katy Perry was spotted making out on the upper deck of her boat, the Caravelle, with her apparent new love interest, the former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Perry, who earlier this year split from her longtime partner and father of her daughter, the actor Orlando Bloom, was wearing a dark one-piece bathing suit."
"Trudeau, who had separated from his wife and the mother of his three children, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, in 2023, was shirtless and in jeans, R.F.K., Jr., workout-wear style. The grainy images were reportedly taken off the coast of Santa Barbara by a person on a nearby whale-watching boat, and appeared to all but confirm a romance which had, until that point, been merely rumored,"
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau were photographed making out on a yacht off Santa Barbara, appearing to confirm a romance after earlier sightings together. Perry recently split from Orlando Bloom; Trudeau separated from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023. The grainy images were reportedly taken from a nearby whale-watching boat and followed a July Montreal dinner and Trudeau's attendance at a Perry concert. Yacht encounters are placed within a historical lineage of public celebrity romances aboard yachts, including Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor and Jacqueline Kennedy with Aristotle Onassis, and in pop culture such as Jennifer Lopez's 'Jenny from the Block' video.
