Justin Trudeau's son, Xav Trudeau, an up-and-coming R&B Canadian artist, is taking full advantage of his father dating pop star Katy Perry.
On the Wednesday, April 8 episode of the Can't Be Censored podcast, Xav said, "When I'm really happy with a song, [I] send it [to her]."
"She's always happy to give me advice or tell me what I should change," he added.
The 18-year-old said he shares a good relationship with Katy and has gotten to know her since she and the former Canadian prime minister began dating.
"She's super nice. She's super down to earth. She's great," Xav said. "I think that my dad's happy, so that's important."
While admitting that his father dating such a big name has brought around some unwelcomed attention, it is not something he is not used to.
He revealed that seeing a picture of Justin and Perry together is "just like any other picture of my dad and my mom. Or just my dad."
"My life is so crazy sometimes. I'm like, What is my life? What the hell?" Xav noted. "I just laugh. The reality of it is, it's my life. What can I do? What can I change?"
When it comes to public attention on himself, Xav said he has learnt not to care what people write on social media; being brought up by public figure-parents, he has always been told to not "read comments".
While his father enjoyed limelight due to his political career, his mother, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, is also a public figure working as a public speaker, published author and mental health advocate.
