Singer Katy Perry has opened up about her relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, declaring that she is "very" much in love and calling him the "love" of her "life." In a candid interview, Perry expressed profound gratitude for the way Trudeau has made her feel "anchored," providing stability in her often whirlwind life.
Red Carpet Debut and Emotional Revelations
Perry made her red carpet debut with Trudeau at the New York City premiere of the concert film Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour. The 41-year-old singer, who was previously married to Russell Brand and has a five-year-old daughter, Daisy, with former fiancé Orlando Bloom, shared heartfelt insights into their relationship. "I am very in love. Actually that show was after I met the love of my life, and so I felt very anchored by that," Perry said. She described herself as "a little bit like a rainbow kite," flying high and touching the cosmos, but needing an anchor. "So, to have that anchor finally makes me feel really whole now," she added.
Reflections on Personal Growth and Resilience
The pop star reflected on her journey, noting that every day is a "fantastic journey" and an opportunity to evolve and be a better person. "I feel like a more grounded person in so many aspects of my life," she stated. Perry also looked back on 2025, the year her engagement to Bloom ended, describing it as "one of the hardest" periods of her life. "I went through a ton, and there were days that were really, really, really, really hard. And I just kept going 'cause I made a promise to my fans. I made a promise to my daughter. I made a promise to myself," she explained. "I walked through the fire because everybody has to walk through their own fire, and if you're walking through hell, you keep going because on the other side of hell is definitely heaven."
Embracing Life in Her 40s
The "Dark Horse" hitmaker noted that she is "different" now and has wholeheartedly embraced life in her 40s. "Your 20s are for emotions. Your 30s are for sorting them, and your 40s are not caring about those emotions and turning them into gasoline—finally transmuting all those emotions into a creative something," she said. Perry emphasized the universality of human experiences, stating, "We're all human here and it doesn't matter. It's like sadness doesn't discriminate, grief does not discriminate, pain does not discriminate - everybody is subjected to it in their own ways."
