LOVE IN BLOOM? Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau Look Like Lovestruck Teenagers as They Share a Passionate Kiss During Secret Picnic Date
Katy Perry’s romance with Justin Trudeau has had a grounding effect on her, as she herself has said.
That was more than evident as the couple were seen kissing and laying on the grass during a picnic date in Santa Barbara, California on Saturday.
The Dark Horse hitmaker, 41, had the former Prime Minister of Canada in her clutches as they nuzzled noses and shared a tender smooch.
Earlier in the day, they picked up lunch in Perry’s vintage Moke before heading to a picturesque park location to relax and unwind on a red-checkered blanket.
Perry and Trudeau, who made their red carpet debut last week at the premiere of her concert movie in New York City, continued to put on their PDA-filled show as the remnants of their meal lay beside them.
They were also joined by the singer’s mother, Mary, and Perry’s daughter, Daisy Dove, five, whom she shares with ex-fiance Orlando Bloom, plus another child who appeared to be the former politician’s younger son, Hadrien, 12, with estranged wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau.
Even so, the lovebirds managed to steal some alone time, looking very much in their own world.
At one point, Trudeau lay on his back grinning while Perry leaned in for another kiss.
Perry was dressed casually in a white top with striped linen trousers along with flip flops that she later kicked off. She arrived wearing a hat, but later removed that, too, showing her dark hair that she’d tied back in a knot.
Trudeau wore an olive-green T-shirt and navy cargo shorts and, like Perry, went barefoot in the grass.
It wasn’t all about them, as Perry and Trudeau spent time with their families at the playground.
The sighting comes just days after Perry hailed Trudeau as the ‘love of my life’.
Perry – who was previously married to Russell Brand and ended her long-term relationship with Bloom in June of last year – made her red carpet debut with Trudeau at the New York City premiere of the Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour concert film on June 8.
And she couldn’t help but gush over their romance and the stability Trudeau has brought to her life.
I am very in love. Actually, that show was after I met the love of my life, and so I felt very anchored by that,’ Perry told People.
‘Because I’m a little bit like a rainbow kite. I fly super high and like, you know, touch the veil, cosmos, and sometimes I need to be anchored. So, to have that anchor finally makes me feel really whole now.’
The star couldn’t be happier with the way her life is now.
Every day is a fantastic journey, and every day is a chance to evolve, and to be a better person and do the right thing and to be a model for your community, for your family, for your world.
‘I feel like a more grounded person in so many aspects of my life,’ she added.
Perry reflected on how 2025 – the year her engagement to Bloom ended – was ‘one of the hardest’ periods of her life.
‘I went through a f*** ton, and there were days that were really, really, really, really hard,’ she recalled.
And I just kept going ’cause I made a promise to my fans. I made a promise to my daughter. I made a promise to myself. And I got through it.
