Sophie Grégoire has shared new insight into her life in the public eye since her separation from former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
While speaking on a recent episode of the podcast “Arlene is Alone,” host Arlene Dickinson brought up the media attention surrounding Trudeau’s relationship with singer Katy Perry and remarked on Grégoire’s ability to remain “cool” amid the headlines.
“We’re human beings, and things affect us — that’s normal,” Grégoire said. “How you react is your choice. I try to tune in to the music instead of the noise.”
Grégoire and Trudeau announced their separation in August 2023. The pair married in 2005 and share three children: Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien.
Public speculation about Trudeau and Perry grew after a passerby photographed them appearing to embrace in September. Their relationship seemed to become official when they were later spotted holding hands at the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris around Perry’s birthday in October.
Grégoire noted that she is “very aware that a lot of what’s out there can be triggering,” adding, “How I choose to handle it is up to me. The woman I want to become through all of this is my decision.”
She emphasized that she doesn’t shy away from difficult emotions. “I allow myself to be disappointed, to feel anger, to feel sadness,” she said. “As a mental health advocate, I know how essential it is to experience those emotions.”
Earlier in the conversation, Grégoire corrected Dickinson for calling her a “single mom.”
“I’m definitely not a single mother,” she clarified. “I co-parent with a father who has deep love for his children and is very present in their lives.”
