In a rare public commentary, Justin Trudeau's 18-year-old son Xavier Trudeau has offered insights into his father's high-profile romance with pop superstar Katy Perry. The aspiring rapper described the Grammy-winning artist as "cool" and "nice" during a candid car interview with content creator G Hobs, which was shared via Instagram reel on Sunday.
Xavier Trudeau Confirms Meeting and Bonding with Katy Perry
Xavier Trudeau confirmed that his father, the former Canadian Prime Minister, had formally introduced him to his girlfriend as their relationship grows increasingly serious. The teenager revealed that he has already spent considerable time with Perry, stating they have "talked for hours" together.
Music Connects the Prime Minister's Son and Pop Star
The conversation between Xavier and Perry naturally turned to their shared passion for music. "She gave me advice and next steps for me and stuff," Xavier disclosed, highlighting how the 13-time Grammy nominee offered guidance on his burgeoning music career. He specifically mentioned they discussed "about [his] music" during their lengthy conversations.
When the interviewer humorously referenced Perry's much-publicized trip to space, asking about "going to the moon," Xavier responded with genuine curiosity: "We didn't talk about that. Did she even go to the moon?"
Family Dynamics and Supportive Parenting
This isn't Xavier's first public appearance discussing his creative pursuits. Last year, he appeared on The Brandon Gomez Show podcast where he elaborated on his music career and the supportive environment his parents have fostered.
"They've been supportive since the start," Xavier said of his parents. "Every single time I come back from the studio, I'd have something to show them, and we'd sit at dinner and just listen to it like, 'Oh, I like this. I don't like that.' They love it. They're happy for me. They're happy I'm choosing my own path in life."
Background of the Trudeau-Perry Relationship
Justin Trudeau, who served as Canada's Prime Minister, shares three children with his ex-wife Sophie Grégoire: Xavier, 17-year-old daughter Ella-Grace, and 11-year-old son Hadrien. Trudeau and Grégoire separated in 2023 after 18 years of marriage.
Katy Perry was first romantically linked to Trudeau in the summer of 2025, shortly after ending her engagement to actor Orlando Bloom in June of that year. Perry and Bloom share five-year-old daughter Daisy. The pop star and politician were spotted together in Montreal by observant fans before going Instagram official in December 2025 with a post about their romantic getaway.
The couple's relationship has already generated significant public interest, including unfounded pregnancy rumors that circulated recently. Despite the media attention, Xavier's comments suggest a genuine connection has formed between the Prime Minister's son and his father's famous girlfriend, centered around their mutual appreciation for music and creative expression.
