Sources close to Justin Trudeau tell PEOPLE that Katy Perry has become an unexpected bright spot after a tough couple of years in the public eye
In 2023, Trudeau split from his longtime wife, Sophie Grégoire, and earlier this year he resigned as Canada's prime minister amid low approval ratings
"His life is much improved, and his relationship with Katy has had a lot to do with it," says one source
Justin Trudeau is enjoying a new chapter in his life.
Following a difficult split from his wife, Sophie Grégoire, in 2023 and his resignation as Canada's prime minister earlier this year, Trudeau is finding his path forward, which includes investing in a newly public relationship with singer Katy Perry.
"Justin has had a lot of upheavals in the past couple of years, both in his professional-political status and at home with the split from Sophie," a Canadian social source tells PEOPLE.
While the media scrutiny and negative public opinion surrounding his resignation and split had Trudeau down, the source says his relationship with Perry has turned his mood around in recent months.
"He is a much happier person now," the source says. "Stresses are greatly diminished. And he is intrigued with Katy. They have fun together, laugh a lot, talk about everything."
"His life is much improved, and his relationship with Katy has had a lot to do with it," the source adds.
A Canadian political source confirms to PEOPLE that Perry, 41, and Trudeau, 53, are "very much a couple."
"[They] have been seeing each other as often as possible," the source says. "Obviously, she's busy, but so is he. Yet he goes the extra mile to be with her when possible. Especially when it's important."
The pair were first spotted together while out to dinner in Montreal in late July. At the time, an insider told PEOPLE it was simply a "casual, first get-to-know-you date" and they didn't have any serious plans to continue meeting up. Busy schedules and Perry's ongoing Lifetimes tour made connecting difficult.
However, PEOPLE's political insider says Trudeau's fascination with Perry only continued to flourish, and they both kept pursuing one another.
"He is in awe of her talent but also impressed with her intelligence and grasp of issues affecting everyone. He likes her outspokenness and that she isn't afraid to voice her opinion," the second source says.

The new couple also share similar interests, like outdoor activities, and, of course, music. (Trudeau has been supportive of his own 18-year-old son, Xavier, who has been exploring a singing career under the stage name Xav.)
"And don't forget, he likes the limelight," the source adds of the former prime minister. "He has lived it as a child and an adult. For the most part, he is fine with it. That life agrees with him, even when it's not perfectly tuned to his needs. He always adjusts."
Trudeau's father, Pierre Trudeau, was also the prime minister of Canada during most of his childhood, serving two non-consecutive terms from 1968 to 1979 and again from 1980 to 1984. As such, the younger Trudeau has spent nearly his entire life in the public eye.

Trudeau married Grégoire, his childhood friend, in 2005, and they share three children: sons Xavier, and Hadrien, 11, and a daughter, Ella-Grace, 16. The couple announced their separation in August 2023, while Trudeau was still serving as the prime minister.
Calling off a marriage is a rare move for a sitting world leader, though it strangely echoed his father's separation while in office.
Likewise, Perry split from fiancé Orlando Bloom earlier this year, after years of an on-again, off-again relationship. The former couple share a 5-year-old daughter, Daisy.
"Katy didn't expect to fall for somebody so soon, but Justin checks all the boxes. He has a great sense of humor, he's charming and treats her with respect," a source close to Perry told PEOPLE earlier this week.
"Dating Justin is something she never saw coming, but she's really enjoying this surprising life twist," another source said at the time.
