Speaking to People on September 2, Katy Perry revealed that 2025 was a difficult year, marked by numerous setbacks, from her new album, 143, receiving negative feedback to parting ways with actor Orlando Bloom after nearly 10 years. When their separation was announced last July, the singer was in Australia, where her Lifetimes Tour had a stop.

"That was probably the hardest time. My friends were all back home, and I was far away. I cried because I felt disconnected from everyone. But then my 'angels' sprang into action. They truly showed up to help me," the artist shared.

Despite life's upheavals, Perry focused on her work, shining on stage. Katy Perry performed her Lifetimes Tour concert series from April to December 2025. The singer stated that period helped her rediscover her purpose. Later, the tour brought her the greatest gift: meeting the love of her life.

The romance between the 'Roar' singer and the former Canadian Prime Minister began in late July of that year. At the time, dating rumors emerged after paparazzi spotted them dining together at a restaurant in Montreal, Canada. Two days after that dinner, Justin Trudeau brought his daughter to Katy Perry's concert in the city. "I met Justin on tour and everything changed," she said.

A believer in manifestation, the singer revealed she wrote a list of 10 wishes last August, with the final item being true love. Katy Perry now feels that is what she and her partner share. The couple went public with their relationship in October, on her 41st birthday. Since then, they have been inseparable, attending many events.
