Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing heavy criticism online after a photo of him shirtless and kissing singer Katy Perry went viral. The image, captured on Perry’s 24-metre yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, has sparked debates about Trudeau’s priorities and personal life.

Social media users questioned Trudeau’s commitment to Canada, with some criticizing him for spending time abroad rather than focusing on national matters. Comments ranged from personal attacks to sarcastic remarks about his leadership, with one user saying, “He doesn’t give a sht about Canada,”* while another compared Trudeau and Perry to people pretending to be someone they are not, referring to Perry’s space tour and Trudeau’s former political role.
Justin Trudeau, 53, had stepped down earlier this year and has stayed away from politics since. In 2023, he divorced his wife Sophie Trudeau, ending an 18-year marriage. The couple shares three children: Xavier (18), Hadrien (11), and Ella-Grace (16). Trudeau has reportedly been dating Katy Perry, 40, for several months, with their relationship first publicly noticed during an intimate dinner in Montreal in July.

The yacht photo was reportedly taken by a passenger on a passing tourist boat while Perry was on a short break from her Lifetimes world tour. The witness recognized Trudeau because of his Haida raven tattoo on his upper left arm, which pays tribute to an indigenous Canadian community.
Neither Trudeau nor Perry have publicly commented on the relationship following the viral images. However, sources close to them revealed that their relationship is still in the early stages. Perry is said to be very interested in Trudeau, and the source added that they both like each other a lot. Katy Perry has a five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, with actor Orlando Bloom, and she was previously married to comedian Russell Brand.
