Overview
- Diplo said on the Smart Girl Dumb Questions podcast that he had dated both Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau before the show's host indicated the Trudeau line was a joke.
- TMZ reported the claim while noting it is uncorroborated and unlikely given Trudeau’s long marriage, which was publicly announced as separated in 2023.
- Perry and Trudeau have been treated by outlets as a couple based on paparazzi photos, including a Paris outing in October, and a recent onstage remark from Perry that she is “dating someone else.”
- FandomWire highlighted that Diplo’s past link to Perry in 2014 is documented, whereas the Trudeau comment lacks evidence beyond the podcast moment.
- Sources cited by People describe Perry and Trudeau as seeing each other frequently, though neither has issued a formal statement about the relationship.
