NEW YORK, United States: Just days after making their red carpet debut and declaring each other “the love of my life,” global pop icon Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are reportedly already discussing wedding plans, with California Governor Gavin Newsom as their top choice to officiate.
According to a report published by RadarOnline and widely circulated by international media outlets, the couple, who have been dating for less than a year, are said to be considering a California wedding, with Newsom viewed as their “absolutely first choice” to officiate the ceremony. Sources quoted in the report claim Newsom is their preferred choice because of his close personal ties with both figures, viewing Trudeau as a “kindred spirit” and Perry as a “force of nature.”

“Newsom is a friend and a supporter who’s been there for key moments of their relationship, like when they attended the World Economic Forum in Davos this past winter, and he shares their passion for changing the world in a positive way,” a source told RadarOnline.
A whirlwind romance that captured global attention
Perry, 41, and Trudeau, 54, were first romantically linked in July 2025, when they were spotted enjoying a multi-course dinner in Montreal, Canada, and taking a walk in Mount Royal Park. The former Canadian prime minister was later spotted at Perry’s concert in the same city, singing along to her hit song “Firework.”

After several months of keeping their relationship relatively private, the pair made their red carpet debut in June 2026 at the Tribeca Festival premiere of Perry’s concert film, Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris. During a Q&A session at the premiere, Perry openly gushed about Trudeau, calling him “the love of my life” and saying she felt “very anchored” by their relationship.

“My life has changed completely,” she told the audience, adding that his presence helps ground her amid the demands of her high-flying career.
Political dimensions of the rumored union
The speculation has also taken a political turn. According to RadarOnline, if Governor Newsom decides to run for US president in the future, he could count on public backing from both Perry and Trudeau. Sources suggest that such a high-profile alliance could amplify all three individuals’ public profiles and political capital.
“Newsom appreciates that about her because he’s going to need her and Justin’s support if and when he runs for president. In other words, Newsom getting behind Justin and Katy as a couple is an arrangement that absolutely benefits all parties,” the source claimed.
The reports further allege that the couple have been spending most of their time at Perry’s Southern California residence, with plans to establish their life on the West Coast as a “California couple” after marriage.

No official confirmation
Despite the growing speculation, none of the individuals involved, Perry, Trudeau, or Newsom, has issued any official statement regarding the reported wedding plans or their future together. The reports remain unverified, and fans and observers will have to wait for any official announcement.

“Katy had a long-distance crush on Justin for a long time and the fact that it’s turned into something pretty serious is worth it to her to celebrate,” a source told RadarOnline. But until an official announcement is made, the reported wedding plans should be treated as speculation.
