Katy Perry has resurfaced alongside boyfriend Justin Trudeau, holding hands with the former Canadian prime minister during a dinner date in Beverly Hills. The Wednesday night outing marks the singer’s first public appearance since her former husband, Russell Brand, was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison following his conviction for rape and sexual assault.
Perry, 42, and Trudeau, 54, were photographed leaving celebrity favourite E. Baldi, looking relaxed as they made their way towards a waiting black van. The pop star opted for a black top, light-wash jeans, matching belt and boots, finishing the look with silver earrings and pink lipstick. Trudeau kept things understated in a navy sweater, black jeans and matching shoes, even opening the van door for his girlfriend as they departed.
The couple have been together for more than a year, following Perry’s split from actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares six-year-old daughter Daisy Dove. Trudeau separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023 after 18 years of marriage. They have three children together.
The timing of the appearance inevitably brings Perry’s previous marriage back into focus. She and Brand married in 2010 before splitting just 14 months later. Brand was recently convicted of rape and sexual assault following a four-week trial involving allegations from six women relating to incidents between 1999 and 2009. He was sentenced on Monday.
Perry has previously spoken about the difficulties of her marriage, telling Vogue in 2013 that Brand struggled with her position as the boss on tour. Her earlier remark that he “should be in jail” also resurfaced after the verdict, reportedly made during a performance in Oxfordshire.
Brand is currently being held at HMP Wandsworth in London ahead of an expected transfer to another prison. Meanwhile, Perry appears to be concentrating on her new relationship, with Trudeau firmly by her side.
