Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have made their most public appearance yet as a couple. The pop star and the former Canadian prime minister were photographed holding hands as they left a dinner date at E. Baldi in Beverly Hills on Wednesday night — their first public outing since Perry's ex-husband, Russell Brand, was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison.

Photos obtained by Page Six show the pair walking out of the celebrity hotspot hand in hand, with Trudeau opening the door of a black van for Perry as they left. Perry, 42, wore pink lipstick and silver earrings, her dark brown hair styled up in a bun. Trudeau wore a navy blue long-sleeve sweater, black jeans and black shoes.

A Relationship More Than a Year in the Making

Perry and Trudeau have been dating for over a year. They first sparked dating rumours when they were spotted dining together in Montreal in July 2025, during a stop on Perry's tour. Trudeau was later seen at one of her concerts with his daughter, and the pair were photographed holding hands at Perry's birthday party in Paris in October 2025. They made the relationship Instagram official in December 2025, when Perry posted photos of the two of them together in Japan.

Just this week, Perry shared a new Instagram slideshow that included a playful selfie of the two of them, along with snapshots of her daughter Daisy and moments from her daily life — a reminder that the couple have grown increasingly comfortable sharing their relationship in public.

The romance followed major changes in both of their lives. Perry split from her former fiancé, Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares six-year-old daughter Daisy Dove. Trudeau separated from his ex-wife, Sophie Grégoire, in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage, and stepped down as Canada's prime minister in 2025 after nearly a decade in office. He has since taken up a new role as a fellow at Oxford University's Blavatnik School of Government, announced on November 6.

The Timing — Days After Brand's Sentencing

The Beverly Hills outing came just days after Brand — who was married to Perry from 2010 to 2011 — was sentenced on Monday to 10 years and six months in prison. A London court found him guilty of rape and sexual assault, after a trial on seven charges, including three counts of rape, involving six women and alleged incidents between 1999 and 2009.

Brand is currently being held at HMP Wandsworth in London and is expected to be transferred to another prison in the coming weeks, according to his solicitor. He has denied the allegations related to his trial, and he remains under investigation by the Metropolitan Police over two additional allegations of rape. Another woman in the United States has also come forward with claims against him, Page Six reported.

New Chapters for Both of Them

The dinner date also follows a busy autumn for both. Perry celebrated her 42nd birthday with Trudeau on an adventurous mountain getaway, sharing photos of the pair climbing rocks, crossing a narrow bridge and kayaking through canyons — including a kiss on a mountain peak — and Trudeau has taken up a new role as a Distinguished Fellow at Oxford University's Blavatnik School of Government, announced on November 6. He is expected to visit Oxford later this month, in one of his first major engagements since leaving political office.

For Perry, the dinner date reads as a quiet statement of its own: life moving on, in public, hand in hand. Neither Perry nor Trudeau has commented publicly on Brand's sentencing, and the couple have kept the focus on their own next chapter.
