“Montreal Date Sparks Speculation: Friends or Something More?”

Katy Perry is reportedly not interested in jumping back into a relationship following the recent end of her nine-year, an on-and-off romance with Orlando Bloom.

Two months after publicly confirming the end of her engagement to the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, a source told People that the pop star, 40, is focusing on raising their daughter Daisy Dove, four, and her Lifetimes Tour.

Katy isn’t looking to date right now,’ the insider explained. ‘She’s still in the middle of a tour; she’s a single mom and navigating some major personal changes.’

The claim comes just weeks after she sparked romance rumors with former Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.

In July, the pair were spotted having an intimate dinner at Le Violon in Montreal, where they enjoyed cocktails and several different dishes, including one featuring lobster.

Earlier this week, a source told DailyMail.com that ‘Justin wasn’t thrilled about the pictures getting out’ of their first date.

‘It was a first date. A first date! And these pictures came out and it became this huge thing, which is not what he seems to have wanted,’ the insider said. ‘Katy didn’t seem to care nearly as much, but he was the one who was bothered. It didn’t chase him away or anything, but it wasn’t ideal.’

Just two days after the pictures emerged, Trudeau’s shyness seemed to have faded when he accompanied his daughter, Ella-Grace, to Perry’s concert in Montreal.

Standing in full view of fans, he was spotted singing and dancing along to her greatest hits, including Firework and Dark Horse.

While Trudeau could have opted for a more discreet location, he watched the concert – a stop on Perry’s Lifetimes Tour – from visible risers near the stage.

‘Here’s the thing, if you’re going to be with Katy, you have to deal with the paparazzi and the fallout,’ the source said. ‘I don’t know how prepared he was for that. It can be a lot and it can be overwhelming.’

Perry and Trudeau were texting almost nonstop in July, but, according to our insider, their communication has naturally waned in the past two weeks.

‘She’s busy, he’s busy,’ they said. ‘They have a lot going on, and the newness has worn off. But there’s nothing negative about it. They just aren’t in constant communication anymore. That could change, but for now, it is what it is. It has cooled off.

‘They still have nothing bad to say about each other, and in fact I feel like she’s been saying really nice things about him.’

The Canadian politician shocked the world in 2023 when he announced his separation from his wife of nearly 20 years, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. He has gone on several dates since the split – but not with anyone as high-profile as Perry.

Perry and Bloom announced their split earlier this summer, insisting that they would continue to focus on co-parenting their four-year-old daughter, Daisy.

But despite the sexy singles’ seemingly intimate dinner and subsequent concert, a second source told the Daily Mail at the time that their rendezvous was never anything serious.

‘Katy and Justin are treating their get together as just that: a get together,’ they said.

She hasn’t told anyone it was anything more, and she usually wears her heart on her sleeve, so if something were happening, she’d let her close friends know. But right now it is nothing more than friendship.

‘Could that change? Obviously. But the ball is in Katy’s court right now – no relationship so far.’

Following her split from Bloom, Perry’s rep confirmed to DailyMail.com that ‘Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.’
