Justin Trudeau Kissed Katy Perry on a St. Tropez Beach 1 Year After Their First Public Date in Montreal

Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who, at 54, is looking increasingly 21 and like a hot, bisexual college boy from a Jenny Han novel was caught fully making out with Katy Perry on the beach in France the other day.

The pair were photographed locking lips at Les Palmiers on Pampelonne Beach, standing in the surf as waves broke around their feet. He went shirtless in navy swim shorts, she wore a straw bucket hat and a crocheted top over a cream swimsuit, and the two strolled the shoreline hand in hand before cooling off in the ocean and clowning around with a water pistol.

The tattoo on his upper left arm is a planet Earth inside a Haida raven, adapted from Robert Davidson’s 1985 painting “Raven Bringing Light to the World.” He got the globe at 23 and added the raven for his 40th birthday, and explained it himself in a 2012 tweet: “My tattoo is planet Earth inside a Haida raven. The globe I got when I was 23; the Robert Davidson raven for my 40th birthday.” His father, Pierre Trudeau, was made an honorary member of the Haida in 1976, though the tattoo has drawn cultural appropriation criticism when his government sided against Haida positions.

It’s been a year since their first public date on July 28, 2025, when they walked through Montreal’s Mount Royal Park with Perry’s dog and had dinner at Le Violon, reportedly ordering lobster and tuna before drinks at Taverne Atlantic.

Perry, 41, wrapped her Euro Summer tour last Saturday with a show in Switzerland. She started seeing Trudeau weeks after splitting from Orlando Bloom, her fiancé of nine years and the father of her daughter Daisy, roughly two years after Trudeau separated from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, his wife of 18 years and mother of his three kids.
