Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have once again drawn attention to their relationship after being photographed during a relaxed outing in Santa Barbara, California.

The singer and the politician were seen spending time together in a park, where they appeared affectionate while enjoying a picnic. Reports and images circulating on June 15 showed the pair embracing and sharing quiet moments together during the outing.

According to multiple entertainment outlets, Perry’s daughter Daisy Dove was also present during the day out, alongside members of Trudeau’s family. The gathering appeared to be a casual family occasion rather than a formal public appearance.

The latest sighting comes just days after Perry and Trudeau made headlines for attending the 2026 Tribeca Festival together in New York. The event marked their first major red carpet appearance as a couple and further confirmed a relationship that first attracted public attention in 2025.

Perry and Trudeau were initially linked after being spotted together following the end of Perry’s long relationship with actor Orlando Bloom. Perry and Bloom, who share daughter Daisy, confirmed in 2025 that they had shifted their focus towards co-parenting after ending their engagement.

Trudeau announced his separation from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023 after nearly two decades of marriage. The former Canadian leader shares three children with his ex wife.

Since their romance became public, Perry and Trudeau have been seen together at several events and international outings. Their appearance at the Tribeca Festival earlier this month generated considerable attention from fans and media outlets, with photographs showing the couple posing together and interacting with guests.

The Santa Barbara outing offered a more private glimpse into their relationship. Witnesses and photographs suggested the pair were enjoying a low key afternoon while spending time with family.

Neither Perry nor Trudeau has publicly commented on the latest photographs. However, the continued public appearances indicate that the relationship remains strong nearly a year after romance rumours first emerged.
