Katy Perry and Canada's Justin Trudeau make it official
Pop star Katy Perry and Canada's former prime minister Justin Trudeau have made their relationship Instagram official.
It is not a teenage dream, it is Instagram official: pop star Katy Perry has posted a photograph of herself cuddling with Canada's former prime minister, as secure a confirmation as any that the celebrities are dating.
The 41-year-old 'California Gurls' singer slipped the picture, showing the pair cheek to cheek in front of a colourful autumn backdrop, into a series of images on her Instagram account, which boasts 202 million followers.

Her simple caption for the series posted late Saturday, which also includes video clips of the couple trying sushi, reads: "tokyo times on tour and more" and features emojis including flowers and a red heart
Neither Perry, singer of mega-hits like 'Hot n Cold', 'Roar' and 'I Kissed a Girl', nor Trudeau has made public comments about their relationship.
But Trudeau, 53, was seen at a Perry concert in July, and celebrity news website TMZ further fuelled rumours when it aired video of the two hand in hand on a night out in Paris in October to celebrate the singer's birthday.

Trudeau served as prime minister from 2015 to 2025 as leader of the Liberal Party.
On Thursday, Trudeau reposted a photograph of the pair posing with Japan's former premier, Fumio Kishida, and his wife, Yuko.
"Great to see you @kishida230. Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko," Trudeau wrote.
