Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau recently made headlines after stepping out in Montreal — but there’s a chance the pair crossed paths months ago.
Perry, 40, and Trudeau, 53, were both in attendance at The Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada, in February.
The “Woman’s World” singer served as a headliner for the multi-sport event, which was founded by Prince Harry in 2015 and aims to offer “a recovery pathway for international wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women (WIS),” per the foundation’s website.

Meanwhile, the Former Prime Minister of Canada closed the opening ceremony with a speech.
In June, news broke that the former American Idol judge and Orlando Bloom — who share daughter Daisy, 4 — had called off their engagement and gone their separate ways after nine years together.
According to insiders, the former flames’ romance had been going downhill for quite some time. “Katy and Orlando were both so tightly wound,” a source told Star in July. “They started to bicker and it got worse and worse over time. It became borderline toxic.”

As Star previously reported, the pop star was spotted dining with Trudeau at Le Violon in Montreal. Footage obtained by TMZ showed the pair sitting across from each other at a table and having a deep discussion.
An eyewitness told the outlet that they ordered cocktails and split a few dishes before heading back to the kitchen after their meal to thank the staff.
Their outing came ahead of Perry’s The Lifetimes Tour concerts in Montreal and Quebec City. (The politician was spotted in the audience at the singer’s Montreal show on July 30 alongside his daughter, Ella-Grace, 16.)

Perry has had a difficult few years. Not only did she face backlash for working with Dr. Luke after Kesha sued him for sexual assault and receive criticism for her latest musical ventures, she is involved in an ongoing court battle with disabled veteran Carl Wescott over her Montecito home, which she and Bloom purchased in 2021.
According to The New York Post, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ruled that Westcott had no evidence to support his claim that he lacked the mental capacity to sell and enter into a contract for the property.
Though Perry won the first court case and was awarded the property, the second trial on damages is set to begin on August 21 at Stanley Mosk Courthouse in Los Angeles.
