Xavier Trudeau Shares Warm Thoughts on Father Justin's Romance with Pop Star Katy Perry
Xavier Trudeau, the 18-year-old musician son of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is not overanalyzing his father's high-profile relationship with global pop sensation Katy Perry. In a recent video interview, the teen offered a short but genuinely positive perspective on the romance, highlighting his own personal interactions with the singer.
"She's Cool, She's Nice": Xavier's Verdict on Katy Perry
As reported by Network 18, Xavier Trudeau spoke candidly in a video shared last week, telling interviewer G Hobs, "She's cool, she's nice." He elaborated on their meaningful conversation, revealing, "We talked for hours, talking about my music. She gave me advice and next steps for me and stuff." For Xavier, who performs under the stage name Xav, this discussion held significant value as he actively works to carve out his own path in the competitive music industry.
A Lifelong Passion for Music Backed by Supportive Parents
Xavier's dedication to music is not new. In May, he expressed his deep-seated passion on The Brandon Gonez Show podcast, stating, "I always loved music, whether it's creating it, listening to it. I always had a passion for it." He is the eldest child of Justin Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, who announced their separation in 2023, and has two younger siblings: Ella-Grace, 17, and Hadrien, 11.
The young musician emphasized that his parents have been unwavering in their support from the very beginning. "They've been supported since the start," Xavier 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.'"
Background on Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry's Relationship
The romance between Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry first sparked public interest in July, when the former prime minister attended Perry's concert in Montreal. Just days prior, the pair were spotted having dinner together, fueling widespread dating rumors. At that time, neither party addressed the speculation directly.
Five months later, Perry officially confirmed their relationship through a post on Instagram. Prior to her involvement with Trudeau, Perry was engaged to actor Orlando Bloom. The singer and actor met at a Golden Globes after-party in 2016, went public with their relationship shortly after, and got engaged in 2019. They share a daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, and ended their relationship in July of last year.
Focus Remains Firmly on Music for Xavier Trudeau
Despite the media attention surrounding his father's personal life, Xavier Trudeau maintains a clear focus on his musical aspirations. His brief but heartfelt assessment of Katy Perry reflects a mature perspective, centered on the positive impact of their interaction rather than the celebrity gossip. For Xavier, the verdict remains simple and sincere: "She's cool, she's nice."
