Overview
- Japan’s former prime minister Fumio Kishida posted a photo from a Tokyo lunch with Justin Trudeau, his wife Yuko, and Katy Perry, describing Perry as Trudeau’s partner on X.
- Trudeau reposted the message and thanked Kishida, writing that “Katy and I” were glad to meet, while not using the term partner himself.
- Multiple outlets framed the Tokyo meeting as the couple’s first joint appearance in a political or official-style setting.
- Perry and Trudeau have been seen together since July and were photographed holding hands leaving the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris on October 25.
- Despite public sightings and Kishida’s wording, the pair have not made a formal joint announcement, though Perry has shared new Tokyo photos and videos of them together on Instagram.
