Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau seem to be back on … if they ever really “cooled off” to begin with.

In new photos making the rounds on the internet, the once-unlikely couple was packing on the PDA off the coast.

This summer, the singer and former Canadian PM went on an apparent dinner date.

Things between Perry and Trudeau have clearly heated up from there.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are getting hot and heavy

Over the weekend, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau were packing on the PDA.

The Daily Mail acquired photos of their makeout session aboard Perry’s yacht, the Caravelle.

Perry and Trudeau were off of the coast of Santa Barbara last week, enjoying the autumn sea.

Or perhaps just seeking relative privacy for a steamy snogfest, which reportedly included ample hugging, swimwear, and roaming hands.

The topless former Prime Minister and the controversial faux-astronaut both looked great at the considerable distance.

To be clear, Perry and Trudeau are not actively posting their PDA themselves.

As you can see, they did not exactly post selfies.

However, despite the relative “privacy” of their getaway on the Pacific ocean, they have both been public figures for many years.

As such, it is likely that they understand that any outdoor get-together runs the risk of photography.

Did they intentionally let photographers spot them to soft-launch their entanglement? We don’t know.

Their entanglement appears to have begun early this summer

As we reported this past July, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau had what appeared to be a public dinner date in Montreal this summer.

They did not announce the dinner on social media. But, at the same time, they were clearly not hiding.

Within days, Trudeau once again made a public show of interest in Perry.

He attended her concert.

That he attended with his teenage daughter could be significant. But Trudeau himself was spotted singing along with Perry’s lyrics.

Later this summer, reports claimed that Perry and Trudeau had “cooled off” after public backlash.

Trudeau is a polarizing political figure, having resigned after public approval plummeted in Canada.

And Perry has spent years being, well, “cringe.”

That is not a moral failing, but it colors the lens through which people view her and any relationship of hers.

Clearly, their mutual thirst has been enough to overpower the backlash in their own minds. And, considering the state of the world, maybe everyone’s just too busy to roast them.

What do people think of this entanglement?

To be clear, there has been plenty of social media commentary on Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau.

Some folks are outraged (because they simply dislike them). One very silly person even claimed that their 13-year age gap is “problematic” (they are in their 40s and 50s).

Others have praised the couple, noting that they seem happy. Or wishing that they’d spot the social media user across the bar and dig their vibe, so to speak.

A few unhinged social media users have claimed that Trudeau is an “upgrade” from ex-husband Orlando Bloom. Absolutely not. Please be serious.

Eventually, Perry and Trudeau are going to make some sort of public statement on their relationship (if it lasts). We’re sure that there will be even more hot takes when that happens.
