# Trudeau and Perry relationship and travel scrutiny > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/trudeauperry-world-cup-controversy > Updated: 2026-09-10T16:30:00.000Z. Sources: 103. Developments: 21. Public interest in the relationship between former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and pop star Katy Perry has intensified through September 2026. Following their first anniversary celebrations in Saint-Tropez, the couple traveled to Italy and the Greek island of Mykonos, where they were seen vacationing on a luxury yacht. During a Los Angeles screening of her concert film, ‘Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris’, Perry addressed her relationship with Trudeau, noting that their connection provides a ‘unique level of emotional stability and support’ following the demands of her 2025 world tour. In a subsequent interview with People magazine, Perry further characterized the relationship as ‘the love of my life’ and ‘super healing.’ She described meeting Trudeau during her tour as a turning point following the mid-2025 end of her nearly decade-long relationship with actor Orlando Bloom. Perry noted that the split with Bloom occurred during the Australian leg of her tour, describing it as ‘probably the hardest time’ due to feeling isolated. She stated the connection with Trudeau feels like the ‘missing puzzle piece’ she had previously discussed with her therapist. She added that Trudeau is ‘heart-centered’ and deeply supportive of her career. Perry also mentioned that her daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, is seeing her mother remain strong through these transitions. As the couple continues their international travels, their lifestyle has come under scrutiny in Québec. Reports from Le Journal de Montréal suggest that Canadian taxpayers may be funding security costs for Trudeau during his trips to locations including Greece, Italy, Switzerland, and Coachella. While Trudeau is entitled to a protective detail as a former leader, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has declined to disclose specific costs or the number of officers deployed, citing ‘the evolving threat environment and operational and security considerations.’ ## Claims - Katy Perry stated that Justin Trudeau provides a level of support different from her previous partners.
