Newly single Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, the former Prime Minister of Canada, were seen dining together in Montreal.
The Grammy-winning singer split from her fiance and the father of her daughter, the actor Orlando Bloom, last month.
Trudeau, who resigned as Prime Minister earlier this year, announced that heand his wife, Sophie, were ending their relationship in 2023. The pair have since divorced.
The former PM was seen dining with Perry at the high-end restaurant Le Violon in Montreal, Canada, on Monday.
Footage captured by TMZ shows the mother of one appearing to touch her hair and lean close to Trudeau as the pair talked over plates of lobster.
The pair’s cosy dinner sparked questions of a potential budding romance. Trudeau and Perry were not known to have had an existing relationship prior to their dinner date.
Neither Trudeau nor Perry has commented on their meet-up.
Earlier this year, Perry took part in Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos’ all-female space flight, aboard one of his Blue Origin rockets.

The 11-minute flight, during which Perry serenaded her fellow astronauts Lauren Sanchez (who is Bezos’ wife), television journalist Gayle King, Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe and Kerianne Flynn, was criticised for being tone deaf.
Critics suggested it was a publicity stunt and that the harm to the environment outweighed any feminist notions the all-female flight may inspire.
The backlash around the flight, as well as the poor reception of Perry’s latest album, 143, is said to have been a contributing factor in her break-up with Bloom. The couple have not commented publicly on why they split, although a source told Elle it was “amicable”.
Bloom attended Bezos’ wedding to Sanchez in Venice last month. His movements were carefully followed by the tabloid media which kept close tabs on the female wedding-goers he interacted with.
