Justin Trudeau 'exacts revenge' for U.S. tariffs by dating Katy Perry, Jimmy Kimmel jokes
Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry were the punchline of some of Jimmy Kimmel’s jokes in his opening monologue on Tuesday night.
The comedian poked fun at the so-called couple during his show Jimmy Kimmel Live!. The remarks came after the singer and the former prime minister were spotted together on a yacht in California, Daily Mail reported . On Monday night, Perry seemingly confirmed that she was dating someone while speaking to fans at her concert in the United Kingdom.
“London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night after a whole day at work and a whole day at school? No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time — but not anymore,” she said, according to The Sun .
During the concert, the singer brought a fan on stage. “I hear you’re single,” he said to her, in a video published by TMZ . “You heard I was single? That’s interesting!” she said. The fan got down on one knee and proposed to Perry. “You really should have asked me about 48 hours ago,” she said.
“We had a sighting off the coast of Santa Barbara,” said Kimmel. “I don’t know if you’ve seen this but Katy Perry, the pop music super star, was spotted smooching the former prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau.”
A photo of the pair then appeared on-screen, showing them embracing on a yacht .
“There they are making out openly,” said Kimmel, saying “oot” instead of “out,” poking fun at a stereotypical Canadian accent. “Trudeau is shirtless wearing jeans, which is an outfit from the RFK Jr. collection. And man, oh man, what a couple…”
Kimmel added: “I’ve been wondering how Canada was going to exact their revenge for the tariffs and this is it.”
“They’re taking our women. They’re not just taking our women. They’re taking our astronauts,” he quipped, making a reference to when Perry went to space on the Blue Origin flight in April.
In January, after Trudeau announced his resignation, Kimmel said the former prime minister would “step down to focus full-time on being handsome.” Later that same month, Perry appeared as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and discussed her world tour .
Trudeau and Perry were first spotted together in July at Montreal restaurant, Le Violon. Trudeau attended Perry’s Montreal concert with his daughter Ella-Grace, 16.
Trudeau was married to Sophie Grégoire Trudeau for 18 years. They announced their separation in 2023 . As well as Ella-Grace, the couple have two sons, Xavier, 18, and Hadrian, 11. Images of Perry and Trudeau on a yacht were published online on Oct. 11, which was the same weekend as Canadian Thanksgiving. Trudeau spent the holiday with Grégoire Trudeau and family a couple days later, on Oct. 13. He appeared in a photo shared on social media by his ex-wife enjoying a Thanksgiving meal.
Perry was engaged to actor Orlando Bloom. They split up over the summer and share daughter five-year-old Daisy.
