Craig T Fruchtman / Getty Images While Katy "soft-launched" the romance on her Instagram page in October, neither she nor Justin have shared a ton about their relationship. But now, the former Canadian prime minister has "hard-launched" the relationship on X. Minas Panagiotakis / Getty Images This week, ex-Japanese PM Fumio Kishida posted a photo of himself and his wife, Yuko Kishida, with Justin and Katy. "Former Canadian Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau visited Japan with his partner and joined my wife and me for lunch," he said in a tweet that has been translated into English. "During his time as Prime Minister, we met multiple times as fellow leaders, and when I visited Canada, we worked together to strengthen bilateral relations, including formulating the 'Japan-Canada Action Plan,' sweating it out side by side. I am delighted that we continue to maintain this friendship in this way." Bloomberg / Getty Images In response, Justin quoted the tweet and wrote, "Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko. Thank you, Fumio, for your friendship and your continued commitment to both the international rules-based order and to a better future for everyone."Great to see you @kishida230. Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko. Thank you, Fumio, for your friendship and your continued commitment to both the international rules-based order and to a better future for everyone. https://t.co/zLEuppHNST- Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) December 4, 2025 @JustinTrudeau / @kidisha230 / Via Twitter: @JustinTrudeau Needless to say, the post has already garnered a load of attention online. "This might be the craziest hard launch in the history of the free world," read one viral tweet.

"'Katy and I' as a response of 'justin and his partner' this man is the one," another user said. Bloomberg / Getty Images "hard launch through diplomatic relations is a new one," someone joked."Hard launching through a diplomatic relations meeting is so iconic," another person echoed. "Also, loved how he mentioned her name after the ex Japanese PM called her his partner. He said put some respect on her name!""I didn't expect them to be THIS PUBLIC with their relationship yet," someone wrote, while another user quipped that Katy is in her "Political Wife Era."
