On July 30, 2025, Hilton shared a reaction video on his YouTube channel, expressing excitement about the unexpected pairing, praising Perry for “going after a politician.”“And I love this for her as well. I love that Katy is doing something different. She’s not going after a musician or an actor or an athlete. She’s going after a politician, which really aligns with who she is,” Hilton said.For context, the Fireworks singer and former Canadian Prime Minister were recently spotted together. According to a People magazine report, the two were seen dining at Le Violon restaurant in Montreal on the evening of July 28.Justin Trudeau is not divorced. He and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, are legally married. However, the couple publicly announced their separation in 2023.Referring to the news of Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s dinner in his video, Hilton quipped that he had also “found out more information” about their time together.“It wasn’t just dinner. It was before and after. It was a whole-day outing. Before dinner, Justin met up with Katy to go for a walk... in the park with her dog. After dinner, they went out for drinks at this local establishment and had cocktails on the terrace,” he added.The podcaster also stated that this didn’t seem like “their first outing” together. To him, it seemed they had “probably met up at least once or twice before.”“But even if it was their first date, they’re both well equipped to handle it and handle all of the attention that it got them,” he added.Hilton further remarked that Perry going out on a dinner with Trudeau made sense given her longstanding interest in politics, spirituality, and personal growth. According to him, the outing was also a “good distraction” for Katy Perry, particularly after her and Orlando Bloom’s recent breakup.Restaurant communications consultant shares details about Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry’s recent dinner in MontrealFrom L to R: Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry (Image via Getty)As per AP News (July 30, 2025), Samantha Jin, the communications consultant for Le Violon, confirmed that Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry dined together at the Montreal restaurant.
