Katy Perry’s new romance with Justin Trudeau has sparked considerable discussion, particularly from her ex-husband, Russell Brand. The comedian voiced his concerns during a recent event in Phoenix, Arizona.
Russell Brand’s Response to Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s Romance
During a Turning Point USA event, Brand shared his feelings about Perry’s relationship with the former Canadian Prime Minister. He expressed his discomfort with the pairing, stating, “I was OK with Orlando Bloom, but Justin Trudeau? Come on, man!” His comments elicited laughter from the audience, reflecting his surprise and disapproval.
Background of Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s Relationship
Katy Perry, 41, and Justin Trudeau, 53, went public with their relationship on social media in early December. They shared moments from their time in Tokyo, where Perry performed for her Lifetimes Tour. This announcement followed a series of sightings that sparked romance rumors earlier this year.
- Perry was previously married to Brand from 2010 to 2012.
- She had a long-term relationship with actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares a daughter.
- Trudeau and his wife Sophie Grégoire announced their separation in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage.
The Impact of Brand’s Comments
Brand’s comments were particularly notable given his own recent controversies. He has faced serious allegations, including ongoing criminal proceedings for alleged rape and sexual assault in the UK. In recent years, he has adopted a more religious stance, showing interest in conspiracy theories.
As Perry and Trudeau navigate their new relationship amidst public scrutiny, neither has made any formal comments addressing Brand’s criticisms or their romance status. The answer remains to be seen.
