Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s son Xavier Trudeau detailed his encounters with Katy Perry since his dad began dating the “Dark Horse” singer.
Xavier Trudeau isn’t feeling H๏τ ‘n’ cold over Katy Perry.
Two months after the “California Gurls” singer hard launched her relationship with Justin Trudeau, the former Canadian Prime Minister’s son shared his thoughts on their romance.
“She’s cool, she’s nice,” Xavier told G Hobs in a Feb. 21 Instagram video. “We talked for hours, talking about my music. She gave me advice and next steps for me and stuff.”
And it was invaluable guidance for the 18-year-old, who is pursuing his own music career under the moniker Xav.
“I always loved music, whether it’s creating it, listening to it,” he explained on The Brandon Gonez Show podcast in May. “I always had a pᴀssion for it.”
Justin and his estranged wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau—who also share kids Ella-Grace Trudeau, 17, and Hadrien Trudeau, 11—had put their eldest in music classes, including drumming, guitar and piano. A few years ago, Xavier decided to try making some beats to record over with his phone. And since then, he’s been making R&B music.
“They’ve been supported since the start,” he said. “Every single time I come back from the studio, I’d have something to show then and we sit at dinner and just listen to it like, ‘Oh, I like this. I don’t like that.'”
“They love it,” he continued. “They’re happy for me. They’re happy I’m choosing my own path in life.”
With music being such a force of connection in the Trudeau household, it’s no surprise that Justin was seen moving and grooving at Katy’s Montreal show in July. But it was their dinner two days prior that raised eyebrows about a possible relationship.
InstagramAlthough romance rumors swirled, neither Justin—who separated from his wife in 2023—nor Katy had addressed them until the “Last Friday Night” singer confirmed their relationship on Instagram five months later.
At the time, Katy—mom to 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove Bloom with ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom—had been navigating her new chapter as a single mom. But she and the Lord of the Rings alum only have love for one another.
“I’m so grateful,” Orlando, who wrapped filming on The Cut, shared on Today in September. “We’ve got a beautiful daughter. When you leave everything on the field like I did in this movie, I feel grateful for all of it.”
“We’re gonna be great,” the actor—also dad to son Flynn, 15, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr—concluded. “It’s nothing but love.”
While Katy and Orlando are exploring the next chapter of their lives, keep reading for a look back at all the love in their nine-year relationship.
