Katy Perry packs on PDA with boyfriend Justin Trudeau at ritzy LA charity gala… after ex Russell Brand's rape conviction

Katy Perry was supported by her boyfriend Justin Trudeau on Saturday night as they attended the star-studded Baby2Baby Gala in Los Angeles.

The pop singer, 42, cozied up to the former prime minister of Canada, 54, during their red carpet photo op.

At one point, Perry was caught helping Trudeau adjust the bowtie around his neck before resuming their poses for the cameras. 

For the event, Perry wowed in a strapless sequin dress with a long, peach-toned skirt and a matching, floor-sweeping cape.

Trudeau looked dapper in a cream tuxedo jacket paired with a black bowtie, matching dress pants and shiny oxford shoes. 

Perry's red carpet outing comes just days after her ex-husband Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months after being convicted of rape and sexual assault in the United Kingdom.

Perry and Trudeau first sparked dating rumors in July 2025 but waited to go public with their relationship until October of that year.

They celebrated their one-year anniversary last month along with Perry's 42nd birthday on October 25.

Before Trudeau, Perry was in a nearly decade-long romance with actor Orlando Bloom.

She and the 49-year-old actor are parents to six-year-old daughter Daisy, who they welcomed in August 2020.

As for Trudeau, the politician had been separated from his ex-wife Sophie Grégoire for three years. 

He was married to Grégoire for 18 years, and the pair are parents to daughter Ella-Grace, 17, and sons Xavier, 19, and Hadrien, 12. 

Prior to Perry's nine-year romance with Bloom, she was married to Brand for 14 months before they called it quits in late 2011 and finalized their divorce in July 2012. 

Following the conclusion of his rape trial, Brand's ex-girlfriend Jordan Martin made shocking allegations about his past marriage to Perry. 

Martin, who dated the comedian before he went on to marry Perry, recently claimed that he once told her he 'always wanted' to marry someone famous. 

'[Russell was] doing exactly what he always wanted to do [with Perry] and be married to someone famous, which he always said he would be,' Martin claimed in the new Netflix documentary titled Russell Brand: Open Secret. 

'He said to me, "I should be dating somebody more famous than you,"' she recalled. 

Martin also said he once complained about her 'dressing like an attention-seeking tart' and telling her that he 'didn't feel comfortable' with her wearing a swimsuit and sunbathing. 

And just hours before Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months for rape and sexual assault, Perry was seen out smiling and partying.

She supported her friend fellow astronaut Lauren Sanchez, who launched a new book in Los Angeles.

She was joined by fellow A-listers Sydney Sweeney, Kris Jenner and Elsa Hosk.

'Yesterday we brought winter to LA, and friends, their kids, and Santa all showed up for a reindeer who can’t read a compass,' Sanchez wrote beneath a snap of smiling Perry in an Instagram post shared on Monday, promoting her book The Fly Who Flew to the North Pole. 

On the same day in London, Brand, 51, faced a starkly different reality, handed down a 10-and-a-half year sentence for one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

The disgraced comedian could also stand to lose some of his estimated $20 million fortune in compensation and civil claims, a top British lawyer told the Daily Mail last week.

Brand and Perry began dating in 2009 and were married the following year. The couple split in 2011, with Brand dumping his pop star wife via text.

That brutal moment was captured in her documentary Katy Perry: Part Of Me, with the text coming through just minutes before the songstress was due to perform to thousands in Brazil.

The film showed Perry being comforted by her team backstage as she sobbed uncontrollably. 

Reflecting on their 14-month marriage in a 2013 interview with Vogue, Perry said: 'He's a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him.

'Let's just say I haven't heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011. I felt a lot of responsibility for it ending, but then I found out the real truth, which I can't necessarily disclose because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day,' she cryptically concluded. 

In the years since, Perry has maintained what fans have described as 'a dignified silence' about the break-up, but that could soon change.

Last weekend, The Mail on Sunday reported that sources close to the star claim she was waiting for the outcome of Brand's trial before finalizing a deal to detail her 'dark marriage' to the star.

A well-placed Hollywood source said: 'Katy has received multiple offers over the years to tell her story but would not consider anything until after the trial. She has a lot to say.

'At the moment she's considering a Netflix-type series and an autobiography. She and her team have been in active discussions.

'There is a lot about that marriage which people don't know. It was a very dark period in her life.'

The source claimed her team have been in touch with streaming giants including Netflix and Hulu.
