Diplo, the electrifying DJ known for stirring the pot, just sent the internet into a frenzy with his latest claim. During his appearance on the "Smart Girl Dumb Questions" podcast, he casually mentioned that he once dated both pop sensation Katy Perry and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau! This eyebrow-raising statement came about while he was chatting about Quebec's "horny" vibes with host Nayeema Raza. Raza couldn’t help but mention the city’s “hot prime minister,” who Perry is now reportedly dating.
“I did date Trudeau, too,” Diplo stated with a nonchalant air, leaving listeners and Raza in utter disbelief.
While Diplo's claim about Trudeau seemed to be delivered with a straight face, the podcast's official YouTube account had to step in to clarify the situation. After fans bombarded the comments section questioning the truth, the account confirmed that Diplo was joking about dating the politician, replying, “lol!! no that part was a joke.” But when it comes to Katy Perry, there’s no denying the past romance. Diplo and Perry were indeed an item back in 2014, as they were seen cozying up at Coachella and various industry events.
In a playful ranking of her past lovers during a game with James Corden in 2017, Perry listed Diplo as her third-best lover, just behind Orlando Bloom and John Mayer. Diplo, with his signature humor, responded on Twitter saying, “I don’t even remember having sex,” followed by, “I won the bronze in sex Olympics.”
Fast forward to now, and Katy Perry is making headlines with her new romance with Justin Trudeau. The "Teenage Dream" singer and the Canadian leader made their debut as a couple in Paris, hand-in-hand, celebrating Perry's birthday. Sources close to the couple reveal that Trudeau is absolutely "crazy" about Perry, describing her as "the perfect woman." The two reportedly share a connection over politics, kids, and a love for French cuisine.
Trudeau, who separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire earlier this year, shares three children with her. Meanwhile, Perry co-parents her 5-year-old daughter Daisy with ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom. As this new power couple heats up, fans are eager to see how this romance unfolds.
