Justin Trudeau Prioritizes Supportive Boyfriend Duties at World Cup

Former Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made headlines when he skipped his country's World Cup opener against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Toronto to attend the United States' match against Paraguay in Inglewood, California.

He had a good reason for this unconventional move - his girlfriend, Katy Perry, was scheduled to perform in the pregame show at SoFi Stadium.

On his social media platform, Trudeau jokingly shared that sometimes being a supportive boyfriend takes priority, but he's still rooting for Canada to win the Cup.

As Canada's prime minister from 2015 to 2025, Trudeau has been involved in various high-profile events. With Canada co-hosting the World Cup alongside the U.S. and Mexico, Trudeau's attendance at the U.S. match drew attention to this historic event.

Canada tied 1-1 in their match that started at 3 p.m. EDT, while the U.S. beat Paraguay 4-1 in a match that began six hours later.
