The dinner comes just weeks after Perry’s July 4 statement confirming her split from longtime fiancé Orlando Bloom. The former couple share a daughter, Daisy Dove, and have publicly committed to co-parenting. “They will continue to be seen together as a family,” a joint statement published by Page Six read, “as their shared priority is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.”

The pair plan to maintain a united front as they co-parent their 4½-year-old daughter, who remains their top priority. Just days after confirming their breakup, Perry and Bloom were spotted vacationing together off Italy’s Amalfi Coast on July 6, joined by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez aboard a luxury yacht.
Trudeau also separated from his wife of 18 years, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, in 2023. The former couple share three children and announced their separation in August after nearly two decades of marriage.

The former couple, who co-parent three children, Xavier, 17, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrien, 11, shared the news in a joint statement.
“After many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate,” Trudeau wrote in an Instagram post shared in both English and French. “We remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we’ve built—and will continue to build. For the well-being of our children, we ask for privacy.”
What’s Next for Perry & Trudeau?
While Perry continues her tour across North America with upcoming stops in Ottawa, Quebec, and Toronto, it’s unknown if Trudeau will be attending any shows. The politician recently stepped down from his role as prime minister after a decade in office.
Their dinner sighting comes at a transitional moment for both, prompting fans to wonder if a new connection is blooming or if it was just a friendly meal between two high-profile figures navigating life post-breakup.
