Diplo is continuing the joke about his alleged romances with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and pop star Katy Perry by sharing a new selfie featuring his two “former lovers.” The DJ and producer posted a selfie with Trudeau sitting beside him and Perry visible in the background, captioning the photo “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 October 7, Diplo ignited rumors about his relationships with Perry and Trudeau. When asked about their romance, the 45-year-old humorously claimed he had dated both. “Oh, I did date Trudeau too,” Diplo said jokingly. “That was a weird one though, because I’m not into politicians.”

While Diplo may not be into politicians, Perry apparently is. In September, the singer and Trudeau were spotted embracing on her yacht near Santa Barbara. According to a witness, Perry “pulled up her boat next to a small public whale-watching boat, then they started making out.” Photos shared by the *Daily Mail* show the singer in swimwear, locking lips and sharing an embrace with Trudeau.

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 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.”
