Justin Trudeau enjoys time with estranged wife amid Katy Perry romance
by CODIE BULLEN, SENIOR SHOWBUSINESS REPORTER · Mail OnlineJustin Trudeau enjoyed time with his estranged wife this week, while Katy Perry alluded to her romance with the former prime minister live on stage.
The 53-year-old Canadian was seen kissing and cuddling the singer, 40, on her 24-meter yacht, the Caravelle, off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, over the weekend.
On Monday, while on stage for her Lifetimes world tour in London, Katy received a surprise marriage proposal during the show but turned it down due to her romance with Justin.
Meanwhile, Justin was celebrating Thanksgiving in Canada with his ex-wife Sophie and their children.
Sophie split from the former Canadian leader in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. They have two sons, Xavier, 18, and Hadrien, 11, and a daughter, Ella-Grace, 16.
Despite being separated and Justin moving on with Katy, the pair made sure to make the annual Canadian holiday a family occasion.
When proposed to by a fan while on tour in the UK on Monday, Katy laughed: 'I wish you'd asked me 48 hours ago.'
The singer added at the O2 Arena: 'London, England, you're like this on a Monday night after a whole day at work and a whole day at school?
'No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time… but not anymore.'
Katy and Justin kicked off speculation about a budding romance in July when they were spotted having an intimate dinner at Le Violon restaurant in Montreal, just weeks after she announced her split from fiancé Orlando Bloom, 48.
All fell silent… at least until this weekend, when exclusive pictures obtained by the Daily Mail showed the couple kissing and cuddling aboard Katy's yacht.
A witness who took the snaps last month, said: 'She pulled up her boat next to a small public whale-watching boat, then they started making out. I didn't realize who she was with until I saw the tattoo on the guy's arm and I immediately realized it was Justin Trudeau.'
Following the steamy moment, Justin's ex-wife Sophie has shared a mysterious message about 'letting go' of love in a new social media post.
Television host Sophie, 50, spoke about the art of not holding on to love in a new Instagram post uploaded on Monday.
'Sometimes we forget that nothing we love is ever meant to be kept,' she said.
'The people, the places, even the moments that once felt infinite, right?
'Time asks us not to cling to them, but yet we do. I do because to hold on feels safer than to let go.'

Insiders reveal how reluctant Katy Perry finally gave in to 'persistent' Justin Trudeau
Sophie continued: 'But, love was never about possession, it was always about presence. The present moment and when we release what we cannot keep, we make space for the truth of connection, intimacy, the memory, for the lesson.
'A single smile can echo across a lifetime, grief also lives there. I lost my dad in the past year, and I feel that with grief also comes grace.
'So maybe, love's deepest teaching is this: to stand open hearted in the face of impermanence. We honor what has been and to trust that letting go is also a form of keeping inside us where no loss can erase it in a way.'
Sophie split from Justin in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage.
They have two sons, Xavier, 18, and Hadrien, 11, and a daughter, Ella-Grace, 16.
Katy, who has a five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, split from Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando Bloom earlier this year.
She was previously married to comedian Russell Brand from 2010 until 2012.
