Meawhile, a source tells People that Perry and Trudeau’s “romance” is in its “early stages.”
“Justin is a [politician] who is used to living a secret life with his personal activity, and wouldn’t put on a public display at this stage,” the source says. “He knows they were being watched and is smart enough to play it low-key for now.”
Another source claims “they are interested in each other” but taking things slow. “She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction,” the source says. “They have a lot in common.”
Those commonalities reportedly include music and an optimistic worldview. “Both are idealists and still live in a world where they think they can make improvements, although it has gotten more difficult,” the source says.
