Love is a many-splendored thing, especially when you\u2019re gawking at it from the outside. In this column<\/a>, we examine the celebrity couples who give us hope for our own romantic futures as we try to learn what we can from their well-documented bonds.<\/p>\n

There are some celebrity couples that just make sense: your Jeffrey and Ina Gartens<\/a>, your Dwyane Wades and Gabrielle Unions<\/a>, your Kieran Culkins and Jazz Chartons<\/a>, et cetera. And then there are the famous-for-famous pairs so random that it feels like their coupling was scripted by AI.<\/p>\n

Taking the lead in this category for the moment? The continually jaw-dropping pair of Katy Perry<\/a> and Justin Trudeau<\/a>, who hard-launched their relationship in Paris<\/a> last night at no less delightfully deranged a destination than the Crazy Horse cabaret and strip club, where Perry celebrated her 41st birthday.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be honest: When I first heard the rumors that Perry and Trudeau were dating this past summer (these emerging shortly after Perry\u2019s split from her longtime partner and co-parent Orlando Bloom), I was\u2026well, not appalled, exactly\u2014it is not that serious when two hot, rich people commence kissing\u2014but definitely confused. When I saw Trudeau singing along as Perry performed her 2010 hit \u201cFirework\u201d on tour,<\/a> though, I started to kind of get it. If you\u2019re one of the most famous men in Canada, and have been consistently billed a top bachelor-to-nab ever since your 2023 divorce, it must be nice to just take your place in the crowd and fanboy out to a paramour who\u2019s even more internationally known than you are. I mean, who but Katy Perry could make Justin Trudeau seem like\u2026just some guy?<\/p>\n

Really, the more I ponder the union of Perry and Trudeau in holy courtship, the more sense it makes. They\u2019re both parents (Perry shares her five-year-old daughter Daisy with Bloom, and Trudeau and his ex-wife, Sophie Gr\u00e9goire Trudeau, are parents to two sons and a daughter) and nobody knows the struggle of making a romance work amid toddler temper tantrums, tween meltdowns, and wonky shared-custody schedules better than someone who\u2019s going through the exactly same thing.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the detail that\u2019s truly converted me to Katy-for-Justin standom is the way in which they chose to ring in Perry\u2019s birthday. Any boring ex-politico can take you to a fancy French dinner and shove some likely-purchased-by-his-assistant jewelry at you across the white linen tablecloth, but it takes a genuinely fun guy (or, at least, a guy who\u2019s not trying to stand in the way of his girlfriend\u2019s fun) to patronize the Crazy Horse without fear of getting dragged to hell in the gossip rags. Lord knows I adore a party mom<\/a>\u2014and romantically enough, it appears that Trudeau does, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Love is a many-splendored thing, especially when you\u2019re gawking at it from the outside.
