From Big Stars to Regular Joes

Well, more regular, at least. Why A-listers like Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry and Reese Witherspoon have moved on from superfamous fellow celebs to guys who fly under the radar

Aniston, Perry and Witherspoon are dating (respectively, from left) hypnotherapist Curtis, former Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and financier Haarmann.

Bad boys are so yesterday. The latest dating trend sweeping the female midlife mogul set of Hollywood? Steady Eddies and Low-Key Larrys. Take Katy Perry. Her relationship history is all scarves, poetry and ego, in the form of superstars like Russell Brand, John Mayer and Orlando Bloom, the father of her daughter, Daisy, 5. So her new romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau raised plenty of eyebrows. After a tough time personally and professionally — backlash to her flight with Blue Origin and a lackluster Vegas residency left her feeling like what she calls a “human piñata” — the pop star, 41, seems to have opted for a more sensible choice. Sure, a legacy politician isn’t exactly Joe Six-Pack, but Trudeau, 53, who’s divorced with three kids of his own, is the kind of man you can contemplate splitting the school run with and rely on to sort the recycling properly — even if he does mansplain carbon policy on the way.
