Vancouver Canucks star Elias Pettersson and his wife Katelyn Byrd Pettersson have given fans a glimpse into their life as newlyweds through a YouTube vlog. The video, filmed around their move back to Vancouver after their summer wedding and offseason in Sweden, offers a behind-the-scenes look at their daily life.
The vlog begins with Katelyn preparing traditional Swedish pancakes with strawberries from their garden, expressing her excitement about returning to her routine in North America and reconnecting with friends and family. Elias makes an appearance after a training session, and the couple shares a tender moment when Katelyn greets him with “Welcome home,” and he responds with “You’re my home.”
The video also showcases the couple’s busy schedule as they juggle travel, packing, and work obligations. Katelyn mentions a Burberry photoshoot before their departure and documents the long night of packing suitcases ahead of their flight. After returning to Canada, she shares clips from a quick trip to Whistler, unpacking and organizing beauty products, and settling into their home.
At home, Elias takes the lead in the kitchen, cooking fish and preparing a meat mixture by hand. The couple is also seen enjoying meals together, splitting dishes “50/50” and watching the sunset after a quick home-cooked dinner. They share lighthearted moments on the golf course, where Katelyn jokes about her game, saying “Yeah, I suck at golf.”
Elias Pettersson recently confirmed his wedding to Katelyn Byrd, which took place in Sweden in late June. The 26-year-old forward confirmed the news during the team’s annual Jake Milford charity tournament, stating that the wedding was the “highlight” and “best day” of his life.
The couple’s decision to share their personal life with fans offers a unique insight into the life of a professional athlete and his partner. As they settle into their new life in Vancouver, fans can expect to see more glimpses into their daily routine and experiences as newlyweds. With the NHL season approaching, Elias Pettersson will likely be back in the spotlight, and fans will be eager to see how his personal life affects his performance on the ice.
