Sophie Grégoire Reflects on Ex-Husband Justin Trudeau’s New Relationship with Katy Perry
Sophie Grégoire has shared her thoughts on the public’s interest in Katy Perry’s growing romance with her ex-husband, Justin Trudeau. Recently, during an appearance on the podcast “Arlene is Alone,” Grégoire, who divorced Trudeau in 2023 after 18 years together, discussed how she navigates the public “noise” and her emotions as her ex-partner moves forward.
When host Arlene Dickinson inquired about how she feels regarding Trudeau and Perry’s relationship, Grégoire acknowledged that, like everyone else, she has her vulnerabilities. “We are all human beings and different things affect us,” she noted. “You decide how you react to things. That’s why I chose to listen to music instead of noise.”
She elaborated, saying that while public matters can be triggering, it’s ultimately her choice how to deal with them. “It’s my decision what I do with it. It’s my decision what kind of woman I want to be through this. Does that mean I don’t have feelings? Does that mean I don’t cry, scream, or laugh? No!”
Despite their separation, Grégoire and Trudeau, parents to three children—Xavier, 18, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrian, 11—continue to prioritize family. “We live separate lives, but we live as a family,” she explained, emphasizing the collaborative effort needed to navigate post-divorce life. “It’s not always easy to live, but it’s a very grown-up thing.”
Meanwhile, Trudeau and Perry made headlines for their first public appearance together on October 25, following a cabaret celebration of Perry’s 41st birthday at Crazy Horse Paris. They were seen hand in hand, smiling and enjoying each other’s company.
The couple’s connection reportedly traces back to July, when they were spotted dining together in Montreal. Sources describe Trudeau as “single for some time,” and hint that he appreciates Perry’s personality, enjoying their discussions on various topics. “So far they have hit it off really well,” said a source, suggesting their conversations have been a refreshing change for him.
But, as those close to them mention, both have complicated histories, which might slow the pace of their budding romance. Perry recently ended a longstanding relationship with Orlando Bloom, and both are currently focused on their respective personal responsibilities, making the path forward a bit unclear.
While the attraction between them is evident, it’s unclear how their busy lives will affect their relationship. However, the potential for more is there; after all, they share a lot in common. Balancing their personal obligations with the desire to connect might make for a unique but thoughtful journey ahead.
