Last month, Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry were photographed out on a dinner date in Montreal. Katy has only been single-ish for a few months after her engagement to Orlando Bloom fizzled out, and Trudeau has been separated from his wife Sophie for two years, although I don’t think they’re technically divorced yet. The Perry-Trudeau date was bizarre though, even if they’re both single. I never would have put the two of them together, and it feels like they have nothing in common and nothing to even talk about. Well, surprise surprise, it looks like the whole thing has cooled off.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s budding romance has reportedly “cooled off” due to their busy schedules and Trudeau being uncomfortable with the spotlight that comes with dating the pop star. After the duo was snapped last month on an intimate dinner date in Montreal and he later attended her sold-out “Lifetimes” tour stop in Canada, their communication has “waned in the past two weeks,” the Daily Mail reported Monday.

“She’s busy, he’s busy,” an insider shared with the outlet, which also reported that the two previously texted “nonstop” in July. “They have a lot going on, and the newness has worn off.”

“But there’s nothing negative about it,” the insider continued. “They just aren’t in constant communication anymore. That could change, but for now, it is what it is. It has cooled off.”

The former Canadian Prime Minister was also reportedly bothered by the massive attention his dinner date with Perry got, which happened weeks after news broke of the “Dark Horse” singer’s split from Orlando Bloom.

“I know for a fact that Justin wasn’t thrilled about the pictures getting out,” the source said. “It was a first date. A first date! And these pictures came out and it became this huge thing, which is not what he seems to have wanted.”

The source noted Trudeau was “not prepared” for all the attention that comes with dating Perry. “It can be a lot and it can be overwhelming,” the source explained.

A second source told the publication that currently, Perry, 40, and Trudeau, 53, are just friends.

“She isn’t ready to start dating anyone right now, she has to continue to focus on her healing from separating from Orlando,” the source said.

If that really was their first date, I do feel sorry for them. Imagine having a weird/awkward but not unpleasant first date with someone famous and everyone knows about it and they’re asking you constantly what it all means and whether you see a future. I wouldn’t be able to handle that and I would also need to never see that person again. It feels like it’s a mutual dip – Justin doesn’t want the attention, and Katy isn’t ready to date. It’s too much! Too much speculation, too much rumormongering. Good! Just break up and date other people!
