Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau break cover in first public outing since her ex Russell Brand’s rape conviction
Katy Perry had a dinner date with boyfriend Justin Trudeau in her first public outing since ex-husband Russell Brand’s rape conviction.
The couple held hands while leaving E. Baldi in Beverly Hills on Wednesday night, as seen in photos exclusively obtained by Page Six.
The “Firework” singer wore a black top with a matching belt and boots, as well as a pair of light-wash denim jeans.
Perry, 42, also rocked pink lipstick and silver earrings, while her dark brown hair was styled up in a bun.
She carried a small black purse with her as she exited the celeb hotspot with Trudeau, 54.
The former Canadian prime minister, for his part, wore a navy blue long-sleeve sweater, black jeans and black shoes.
Trudeau was pictured opening the door to a black van for Perry as they departed the restaurant.
Perry and Trudeau have been dating for over a year, following the singer’s split from former fiancé Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares 6-year-old daughter Daisy Dove.
Trudeau, meanwhile, separated from ex-wife Sophie Grégoire in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. The exes share sons Xavier, 18, Hadrien, 12, and daughter Ella-Grace, 17.
Brand — who was married to Perry from 2010 to 2011 — was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison on Monday after he was found guilty of rape and sexual assault.
The “Get Him to the Greek” star was on trial facing seven charges — including three counts of rape — stemming from alleged incidents involving six women between 1999 and 2009.
During the four-week trial, Brand’s legal team reportedly blocked prosecutors from bringing up his and Perry’s relationship.
After Brand’s sentencing, Perry’s comments about her “controlling” ex-husband from 2013 resurfaced.
“He didn’t like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour,” she told Vogue
