Zooey Deschanel Enthusiastically Co-Signs Pal Katy Perry’s Relationship With Justin Trudeau: ‘I Love It’

A week after her longtime pal Katy Perry went Instagram official with new boyfriend former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, Trolls actress Zooey Deschanel has heartily co-signed the budding relationship.

During an appearance on Thursday’s (Dec. 11) Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, a fan asked Deschanel what her reaction was to Perry, 41, “hard-launching” the new love match by posting a series of pics and videos from her recent trip to Japan, which featured several cameos from the 53-year-old Canadian politician. “I love it. I’m so in,” Deschanel said.

“I’m with a Canadian guy,” said Deschanel, who is engaged to Property Brothers co-star and Vancouver native Jonathan Scott and appeared in the video for Perry’s song “Not the End of the World” in 2020. “She’s with a Canadian guy… [They’re] so nice.”

In their Dec. 6 Insta debut together, the former American Idol judge and Trudeau posed cheek-to-cheek outdoors with big smiles on their faces, shared a sushi dinner in a black-and-white video and admired a light art installation together. The photo and video dump came while Perry was traveling in Japan for the final dates of her global Lifetimes tour, during which she joined Trudeau as the couple met with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yuko, after a formal lunch.

Speculation about Perry and Trudeau’s relationship began to heat up earlier this year after the pair were first spotted together in Paris in late October. Perry welcomed her daughter, Daisy Dove, in August 2020 with former fiancé Orlando Bloom; the couple, who dated on-and-off for nearly nine years, broke up this summer.
