Diplo is keeping the joke going about his alleged romances with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry by sharing a new selfie with his two “former lovers.
The DJ and producer posted a selfie with Trudeau beside him and Perry in the background, captioning it “the one that got away” — a playful nod to Perry’s 2010 hit single.
Earlier this month, during an appearance on Smart Girl Dumb Questions on Oct. 7, Diplo commented on Perry and Trudeau’s romance and set off the rumors that he had dated the pair. The 45-year-old, who was briefly linked to Perry back in 2014, jokingly replied that he had dated both.
"Oh, I did date Trudeau too," Diplo responded. "That was a weird one though... because I'm not into politicians."
Diplo may not be into politicians, but Perry apparently is. In September, the singer and Trudeau were spotted embracing on her yacht in the water around Santa Barbara. According to a witness, Perry “pulled up her boat next to a small public whale-watching boat, then they started making out.”
In pictures shared by Daily Mail, the singer can be seen in their swimwear, locking lips, and embracing.
Rumors about a possible romance first surfaced in July, when the two were seen dining together in Montreal before taking a stroll around Mount Royal Park.
By August, sources claimed their budding relationship had already cooled due to their busy schedules. “She’s busy, he’s busy,” a source told the Daily Mail. “They have a lot going on, and the newness has worn off.”
“But there’s nothing negative about it,” the insider added. “They just aren’t in constant communication anymore. That could change, but for now, it is what it is — things have cooled off.”
