Lauren Sánchez’s Secret Role in Katy Perry & Justin Trudeau’s Relationship Revealed After Orlando Bloom Attended Her Wedding to Jeff Bezos Solo
Lauren Sánchez has a knack for matchmaking. The former journalist reportedly set her friend Katy Perry up with Justin Trudeau after the singer broke up with her longtime boyfriend Orlando Bloom.
According to a source to Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop Substack, Sánchez knew that they were a perfect match. “Lauren introduced them through her circle — she thought they’d vibe instantly,” one insider said. “And wow, did she call it.” Lauren even boasted about her skills, reportedly saying, “I’ve gone from launching rockets to launching romances!”
The “E.T.” singer and the former Canadian Prime Minister hard-launched their relationship after they held hands and were spotted by paparazzi in Paris. The new couple was seen leaving a cabaret show at the Crazy Horse Paris in photos obtained by TMZ. The two were speculated to be together when the two were making out on Perry’s yacht in August.
Perry recently called things off with her boyfriend of nearly a decade, Orlando Bloom. The two reportedly broke up around the time of Lauren Sánchez’s wedding to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Bloom attended the nuptials by himself while Perry was on her Lifetimes tour.
However, Bloom’s attendance was a point of contention with Perry. “Katy feels like they’re really her friends more than his, and yet he’s the one going to the wedding,” the Daily Mail reported. “And he’s insistent that he goes, which annoys her because he’s not particularly close to either of them. She feels like it’s a ‘f*** you’ to her from him.”
The ex-couple released a statement at the time: “Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting,” the statement read. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.”
As for Perry and Trudeau’s romance, it seems to be going extremely well. “Katy is really into it. She’s very happy,” an inside source tells Us Weekly. “She’s trying to keep it low-key, and they’ve spent a lot of private time together. She’s not looking to publicize this relationship.”
