Wait, Is That Viral OnlyFans Model Justin Trudeau’s Son?
Short answer: No. Despite what your timeline is telling you, the muscular OnlyFans creator currently doing the rounds on X is not Justin Trudeau’s son and not Katy Perry’s stepson. The rumour is fake. The man in the photos is Benjamin Verbeck, and he has no connection to the former Canadian Prime Minister.
How the rumour started
It began, predictably, on X. Users posted side-by-side photos that asked followers to pick between Verbeck and other fit young men. Many of those posts tipped into explicit territory. Somewhere along the way, someone added the claim that Verbeck was Trudeau’s son. The meme then collided with the still-viral news of Trudeau’s relationship with Katy Perry, and suddenly half the internet was convinced Perry had acquired a hot OnlyFans stepson overnight. She hasn’t.
Who is Benjamin Verbeck?
Verbeck is an online creator with roughly 147,000 followers on X and 46,000 on TikTok, per The Tab. His Instagram has been either deleted or banned. His OnlyFans carries 158 photos and close to 50 videos for a 5USD monthly subscription, alongside a Fansly account, and his content is what the subscription economy politely calls body-focused. None of that, however, makes him a Trudeau.
Who are Justin Trudeau’s actual children?
Trudeau has three children with his former wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau: Xavier, born in 2007, Ella-Grace, born in 2009, and Hadrien, born in 2014. Xavier, the eldest, has been in the news this year as a young musician who spoke to Complex and other outlets about his dad’s relationship with Perry. He is not on OnlyFans. Nor, for the record, are the other two.
Why did this one stick?
Partly because it sounded just plausible enough. Trudeau is a famous dad. Perry is a famous girlfriend. The internet has a soft spot for nepo-baby scandal storylines and an even softer spot for shirtless blond men. Once someone pairs two attractive faces and asks “related?” the algorithm does the rest. The Tab summed it up bluntly when it noted the two men “do look very similar”, which is as close as the rumour gets to having a source.
Do we think every OnlyFans model is secretly the son of a world leader? No. Did we still click on the thread? Yes, obviously. That is how misinformation travels in 2026.
In broader context…
There’s a broader point worth noting here. Fake celebrity-family rumours have become a staple of political misinformation, and they tend to stick hardest when the target is a left-leaning public figure. Canada’s National Observer documented a similar pattern with a fabricated Trudeau sex scandal back in 2019.
If you’re going to support an OnlyFans creator, support the one actually making the content. Just don’t put a Trudeau in the caption.
