Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau make major step in new relationship after NSFW yacht photos

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau appear to have made a big step forward in their relationship after being spotted sharing a tender moment on Perry's yacht.

Rumors previously abounded that singer songwriter Perry and former Prime Minister of Canada Trudeau are dating, and the pictures appear to confirm that the pair are an item.

Speculation about their relationship began back in August after they were spotted dining out together, just a couple of months after Perry publicly confirmed her split from Orlando Bloom.

Since then, the pair were again clocked in a slightly more secluded location - on Perry's massive 24-metre yacht the Caravelle, which was cruising off the coast of Santa Barbara in California on 12 October.

Perry and Trudeau were spotted after the Caravelle pulled up close to a public whale watching vessel.

And there was one thing one passenger spotted which made them realise that the canoodling couple on the enormous yacht were a famous duo, apart from the enormous yacht, of course.

The eyewitness told the Daily Mail: "She pulled up her boat next to a small public whale-watching boat, then they started making out.

"I didn't realise who she was with until I saw the tattoo on the guy's arm and I immediately realised it was Justin Trudeau."

The pair shared a tender moment on the yacht, kissing and cuddling on the boat's deck.

Perry has not long separated from her former partner Bloom, saying at a concert in London that she would no longer fall for an 'Englishman', with the pair rumoured to have separated some time before it was publicly announced.

Meanwhile, Trudeau, who recently stepped down as Prime Minister of Canada after 10 years, also separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in August 2023.

But after being spotted on Perry's yacht together, the pair appear to have now made things official after being photographed together in public, for the first time that wasn't with a long lens.

On Saturday, which also just happened to be Perry's 41st birthday, the pair were spotted leaving Le Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris hand in hand.

The latest appearance seems to confirm publicly that the two are indeed an item.

In the picture, the pair seem unabashed, holding hands and smiling for the cameras as they leave the venue, which seems to make it pretty clear that they've decided to make their relationship public.
