The celebrity romance universe apparently decided that ordinary surprises were far too predictable. When Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau began dating, the pairing left everyone completely, and rather delightfully, stunned: a global pop sensation and a former Canadian prime minister suddenly became pop culture’s most unexpected duo. Yet shock soon gave way to genuine fascination as their chemistry became increasingly impossible to ignore and now according to Perry she might have just found her "missing puzzle piece."

It now seems their bond has grown beyond public fascination, with Katy Perry’s therapist revealing just how deeply connected the pair have become.

Katy Perry is speaking about Justin Trudeau with the sort of warmth that makes a new romance sound less like a fling and more like an answered wish. Speaking to PEOPLE, the pop superstar says meeting Trudeau during her tour changed the course of their connection.

“Everything in my life is epic, but this is kind of the missing puzzle piece — then it showed up,” Katy Perry told PEOPLE, explaining how she spoke with her therapist about finding the legendary love she had always wanted. After nine years in her previous relationship, Perry says she had lessons to learn before finally letting go and making room for something new.

Perry describes him as “really heart-centered” and says their shared outlook has made the relationship deeply healing and something she feels grateful for.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have moved from early dates and concert appearances to a relationship that has weathered demanding careers, constant travel, and considerable distance. After a year together, the couple reportedly wants something steadier: a shared life rather than a revolving itinerary.
