Perry's Instagram carousel from Coachella confirms the couple is very much on, red Solo cups and Bieber dance moves included.
USA Today ran the carousel photos straight, focusing on celebrity couple confirmation and Bieber's set.
X cannot decide whether to roast Trudeau's backwards Alouettes cap or admire his post-PM glow-up.
Katy Perry shared an Instagram carousel on Saturday from Coachella Weekend 1 that left little ambiguity about the state of her relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. [1]
The photos show the pair walking hand-in-hand through the festival grounds, snacking with red Solo cups in tow, and dancing near the barricade during Justin Bieber's performance of "Speed Demon." Trudeau wore a white t-shirt and a backwards Montreal Alouettes cap — the uniform of a man determined to signal that he is off the clock. Perry captioned the post with a lyric from Bieber's set. [1]
The couple was first confirmed in December, though links between them stretched back to summer 2025. [2] Trudeau resigned as Prime Minister in January 2025 after a turbulent final stretch in office. Perry and Orlando Bloom split in July. Since then, the former PM has traded parliamentary question periods for festival wristbands — and by the looks of Saturday's carousel, he has no complaints about the swap.
Trudeau's brother Alexandre told reporters his sibling is "super happy" and "falling in love," which is either charming or the kind of thing a brother says when he is desperately hoping the paparazzi will stop calling him for quotes. [2]
Either way, Coachella has a new power couple, and the Alouettes have their most famous fan since Leonard Cohen.
