  • Perry said her separation from Orlando Bloom came during what she called one of the hardest periods of her life.
  • She said Trudeau supported her during her album tour and that his presence felt healing.

Katy Perry says she has finally found the “epic, legendary love” she always wanted. In an interview with People, the pop star described her relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a defining new chapter in her life.

The love of my life.

· Katy PerryShe used the phrase to describe Justin Trudeau in an interview with People.

Perry’s comments follow her separation from actor and longtime partner Orlando Bloom, which became public last year. The couple have a daughter. Perry said the breakup came only months after she began touring her album “143” in spring 2025, while she was in Australia. “I was crying and just felt so far away,” she said, calling it probably the hardest period she had experienced.

She met Trudeau during the tour, and said that “then everything changed.” Perry had written a list of goals for herself, with “true love” as number 10. “And I think that’s exactly where we are right now,” she said of the relationship.

I was crying and just felt so far away.

· Katy PerryShe described her emotional state during the separation from Orlando Bloom.

Perry said she did not regret her nine-year relationship with Bloom. “I wouldn’t have stayed in a relationship for nine years if there weren’t really important things to learn,” she said. She described letting go as necessary to move forward.

And I think that’s exactly where we are right now.

· Katy PerryShe said this after discussing “true love” as one of her personal goals.

Trudeau accompanied her to several concerts over the summer. Perry said his support during that period had been “healing,” and compared his arrival in her life to a missing piece of a puzzle finally appearing.

I wouldn’t have stayed in a relationship for nine years if there weren’t really important things to learn.

· Katy PerryShe reflected on what she learned from her relationship with Orlando Bloom.
