Katy Perry marked a special moment at the 2026 World Cup inauguration, held at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium. Beyond receiving applause for her performance of "Wonder," the singer shared mementos from the event on social media, including a photograph with her partner, Justin Trudeau.
In the shared images, Perry showcased the shimmering silver dress she wore for her performance. A notable snapshot featured her alongside the former Canadian Prime Minister, both smiling for the camera as he embraced her, and she placed a hand on Trudeau's abdomen. "Brought a little bit of 'Wonder' to the FIFA World Cup," the artist captioned the post.
Perry and Trudeau were also seen sharing affectionate gestures from the stands during the match between the United States and Paraguay. Videos circulating on social media showed them walking arm-in-arm and hand-in-hand while following the game. This week also saw Perry and Trudeau take a significant step in their relationship by making their first joint appearance on a red carpet at the Tribeca Film Festival for the premiere of Perry's documentary, "The Lifetimes Tour: Live From Paris."
Speculation about their romance began nearly a year ago, drawing attention partly because it emerged shortly after Perry's separation from Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares a daughter, Daisy. Meanwhile, Trudeau announced his separation from Sophie Grรฉgoire, the mother of his three children, in 2023. The relationship's confirmation came when the couple was photographed together on a yacht in Santa Barbara, images that quickly circulated globally, dispelling any remaining doubts.
