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 / Via Twitter: @JustinTrudeau Now, a fresh report from People is giving some necessary perspective on why and how this relationship seems to be traveling at warp speed when it comes to the commitment side of things.

"She wasn't looking to date when they first hung out and she certainly wasn't looking for a boyfriend." Chris Jackson / Getty Images The source adds that the relationship has been an "exciting surprise" for Katy. "He's shown her over and over again that he genuinely wants to see her," they claim. "He's flown all over the world to spend time with her while she toured. She likes spending time with him." Victor Boyko / Getty Images "She's flattered that he's made such a big effort and she's excited to be dating him." XNY/Star Max / GC Images Well, that's nice. We've reached out to Katy's reps for further comment and will let you know if we hear anything back.
