He’s exchanged tailored suits for snug tees, Parliament Hill for Swiss mountains, and a formal marriage for thrilling adventures with his sons and a cozy dinner with Katy Perry.

Nearly a year after his separation from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, the former Canadian Prime Minister has unveiled a significant post-divorce transformation: swapping suits for sleeveless tees, diplomatic appointments for mountaineering, and family portraits for alpine selfies.

In his latest Instagram post shared a day after being seen with the popstar, the 53-year-old Trudeau appeared with his 17-year-old son Xavier atop a snowy slope in Zermatt, Switzerland, equipped with ice axes and connected by a mountaineering rope.

‘More melted cheese than anyone should safely eat,’ he joked, capturing the bro-y, dad-on-the-loose energy that’s defined his recent feed.

And before that he was seen on a sun-drenched Canadian road trip with his youngest son Hadrien, 9, that included rock climbing, hiking, and even a kiss from a sea lion. 

One July snap showed the trio at a climbing gym, Trudeau in a black tank top, looking more Coachella than campaign trail.

Fans have been spamming his latest Instagram post with cheeky Katy Perry GIFs – one of her seductively holding a watermelon slice, another of her in a candy-colored wig licking an ice cream cone. 

Trudeau and Perry were spotted having dinner in Montreal on Monday, leaning in close at Le Violon restaurant before heading to Taverne Atlantic for terrace drinks.

Perry, 40, is currently on tour in Canada after her recent split from fiancé Orlando Bloom – and her sighting with Trudeau has sent social media into overdrive with people speculating they are dating.

‘Both reminiscing their peaks in 2015,’ one user joked. ‘Did not have that one on my celebrity hookup bingo card,’ wrote another.

It’s been a rocky stretch for the pop star: a flop album (143), backlash over her cringy Blue Origin space flight, and a very public breakup from Bloom, who was last seen solo at Jeff Bezos’ wedding in Venice. 

Perry, who was in Australia at the time of the wedding, was later seen breaking down in tears on stage.

Meanwhile, Trudeau has been navigating his own exit from power. 

After eight years as Prime Minister, he stepped down in January amid plummeting popularity, a crumbling Liberal party, and a trade crisis with Trump 2.0.

His replacement, Mike Carney, was sworn in this March. 

Representatives for both Trudeau and Perry have declined to comment on the dating rumors.

A source has told the Daily Mail that those close to the singer do not believe their rendezvous was anything serious.

They explained that Perry ‘usually wears her heart on her sleeve’ so if a new romance was brewing, her pals would have heard about it.

‘As of right now, Katy and Justin are treating their get together as just that, a get together,’ our insider said.

‘She hasn’t told anyone it was anything more, and she usually wears her heart on her sleeve, so if something were happening, she’d let her close friends know. But right now it is nothing more than friendship.’

A second insider reiterated that Perry and Trudeau’s meetup was ‘just a hangout’ and not something romantic… yet.

‘They met at an event and they have had some good conversations,’ they said. ‘They text each other, it seems to be very friendly and nothing more at the moment.

However this hasn’t stopped social media going into meltdown over the duo’s meeting.

One person posted: ‘That’s the most random couple I can imagine getting together in 2025.’

Another said: ‘Imagine the stimulating conversation these two geniuses must be having.’

While a third added: ‘You could have given me a million guesses as to who his new girlfriend was and it would never have been Katy Perry lol.’

Another quipped about Perry’s panned Blue Origin mission: ‘Good for her. After all she’s been through, the trials and tribulations of being an astronaut while trying to be a single mom, she deserves to be happy.’

And another concluded: ‘They are both insufferable, might just work out for them.’
