Los Angeles, CA – Diplo just turned a casual podcast chat into the juiciest celeb fever dream of 2025. The 46-year-old DJ-producer, fresh off headlining Coachella after-parties, dropped a nuclear “confession” on the Smart Girl Dumb Questions podcast that has X spiraling into throuple territory. “I dated Katy Perry… and Justin Trudeau too!” he quipped, before adding with a wink, “That was a weird one – I’m just not into politicians.” The deadpan delivery? Pure chaos fuel.
It all ignited during a chat about Canada’s “hot PM” – ex-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, 53, who’s been cozying up to Perry, 41, since their Paris PDA debut last month. Host Nayeema Raza gushed, “I know people who’ve dated him!” Diplo interjected: “Dated Katy Perry? Like me.” Then the bomb: “And now Katy’s dating Justin… I dated Trudeau too.” Fans? Freaked. The episode, aired October 7 but resurfacing Friday, racked 15 million views overnight. Podcast comments exploded: “He dated Trudeau???? “ The hosts clarified: “Lol!! No, that part was a joke – and the Fidel thing tooooo.” (Fidel? Who knows – Diplo’s troll game is next-level.)
But the Katy link? Real AF. The duo sparked in 2014 at Coachella, with steamy festival hookups and industry bashes fueling rumors. Perry later ranked him third on her “exes list” in a 2017 interview – behind Orlando Bloom and John Mayer – quipping, “He’s got rhythm, but drama.” They split amicably; no bad blood, just beats. Trudeau? Pure fiction – but Diplo doubled down with a savage IG selfie Saturday: Him grinning next to the PM at a 2023 Toronto event, Perry blurred in the background. Caption: “The one that got away.” (Perry’s 2011 hit? Ironic AF.) Fans lost it: “Eskimo siblings alert! “ one viral reply screamed, riffing on the outdated term for shared exes. Another: “From Coachella hookup to Ottawa threesome vibes? Diplo unlocked the wildest achievement.”
X is a dumpster fire of memes: Photoshopped throuples at G7 summits, Diplo DJing Perry-Trudeau weddings. #DiploDatedTrudeau hit 3.4 million posts, with Trudeau stans defending: “Joke or not, we’d vote for that power couple.” Perry’s camp? Crickets. Trudeau’s? A vague maple leaf emoji on his Story. Diplo, ever the chaos agent, posted a laughing audio: “Y’all take me too serious – it’s all vibes.”
This “love triangle” tease? Peak 2025 absurdity. From festival flings to PM flirts, Diplo’s reminding us: Celeb dating’s a remix, not a rom-com. Is it the juiciest scandal since Bennifer 2.0? Hell yes. Spill your tea below – who’s next on his roster?
