Katy Perry and her boyfriend, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, turned heads at a glamorous Netflix event for Beef season 2 in Montecito. The 41-year-old singer arrived arm-in-arm with Trudeau, sharing a cozy photo with Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, 61, and his wife, Nicole Avant, 58, who hosted the gathering at their Santa Barbara County home.
Star-Packed Attendance
The exclusive tastemaker event drew a high-profile crowd, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Riverdale actor Charles Melton, British actress Carey Mulligan, and Perry’s ex-fiancé, Orlando Bloom, 49. While Perry and Trudeau posed affectionately with the hosts, Bloom snapped a solo picture with Sarandos and Avant, who appeared in a different outfit for that moment.
Relationship Background
Perry and Bloom dated for nine years and were engaged for six before splitting last year. She began dating Trudeau in July 2025. Bloom has since started quietly seeing 28-year-old bikini model Luisa Laemmel.
Coachella Romance
Following the Netflix bash, Perry and Trudeau enjoyed Coachella in Indio, California, where they caught Justin Bieber’s headline performance. Perry shared social media posts capturing their weekend, including videos of them singing Bieber hits, holding hands amid the festival crowds, and dancing late into the night at a nightclub. She later indulged in late-night noodles, wearing a bold crop top emblazoned with: ‘Pls do not give me a rip off your vape no matter what I say.’
Trudeau’s Son Gives Thumbs Up
Trudeau’s 18-year-old son, aspiring musician Xav, expressed support for his father’s relationship. On the Can’t Be Censored podcast, Xav revealed Perry offers professional advice on his songs. ‘When I’m really happy with a song I send it to her. She’s always happy to give me advice or tell me what I should change,’ he said. ‘She’s super nice. She’s super down to earth. She’s great. I think that my dad’s happy so that’s important.’
Xav, accustomed to public scrutiny from his father’s political career, views photos of the couple as routine. His mother, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, serves as a public speaker, author, and mental health advocate. Xav reflected on his life: ‘My life is so crazy sometimes. I’m like, What is my life? What the hell? I just laugh. The reality of it is, it’s my life. What can I do? What can I change?’
He also addressed online criticism of his music: ‘I’ve been told my whole life, “Don’t read comments.” … The hate, it gets to me sometimes. I guess it’s built into my brain.’
