Did Katy Perry just make it official with Justin Trudeau? Fans are calling it the ‘California-Canada Alliance’

Pop icon Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have seemingly confirmed their much-rumoured romance after being spotted sharing an intimate moment aboard Perry’s yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. The latest photos, shared by The Daily Mail, show the pair embracing and kissing, marking the first public display of affection since whispers of their relationship began earlier this year.

The 40-year-old Firework singer stunned in a black one-piece swimsuit while the 53-year-old ex-leader went shirtless in jeans. As per the report the couple appeared relaxed and affectionate as they lounged on the yacht’s upper deck. “She pulled up her boat next to a small public whale-watching boat, then they started making out.” People recognized Trudeau by his distinctive Haida raven tattoo, a tribute to Canada’s Indigenous culture.
