'She gave me advice': Xavier Trudeau opens up on father Justin Trudeau's grilfriend Katy Perry and his music career

Xavier Trudeau is not overthinking his father’s relationship with Katy Perry. The 18-year-old musician kept his answer short and warm when asked about Justin Trudeau’s romance with the pop star. In a recent video interview, Xavier made it clear he had a positive impression after spending time with her and even getting career advice.

Justin Trudeau's son reacts to Katy Perry's relationship

As reported by Network 18, speaking in a video shared last week, Xavier told G Hobs, “She’s cool, she’s nice.” He added, “We talked for hours, talking about my music. She gave me advice and next steps for me and stuff.” The teen, who performs under the name Xav, said the conversation meant a lot as he works to build his own path in music.





Xavier has loved music for years. In May, he opened up about that passion on The Brandon Gonez Show podcast. “I always loved music, whether it’s creating it, listening to it,” he said. “I always had a passion for it.”

He is the oldest son of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, who separated in 2023. He has two younger siblings, Ella-Grace, 17, and Hadrien, 11. Xavier said his parents backed his interest from the start.

“They’ve been supported since the start,” he explained. “Every single time I come back from the studio, I’d have something to show them, and we sit at dinner and just listen to it like, ‘Oh, I like this. I don’t like that.’”

Katy Perry's dating history and past engagement

In July, Justin attended Perry’s concert in Montreal. Days before that, the two were seen having dinner together, which sparked dating rumors. At the time, neither addressed the speculation. Five months later, Perry confirmed their relationship on Instagram.

Before Justin, Perry was engaged to Orlando Bloom. The singer and the actor met at a Golden Globes after-party in 2016 and soon went public. They got engaged in 2019 and share a daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom. The couple ended their relationship last July.

For Xavier, though, the focus stays on music. And when it comes to Katy Perry, his verdict is simple. “She’s cool, she’s nice.”
