Sophie Grégoire is sharing her feelings about her estranged husband Justin Trudeau dating Katy Perry.
The former Canadian Prime Minister and the pop singer were first spotted together in July and stepped out publicly together in October.
Sophie and Justin, who announced their split in 2023, were married for 18 years and share three children.
While speaking with Arlene Dickinson on the “Arlene Is Alone” podcast, Grégoire shared her reaction to Trudeau moving on.
“We’re human beings and stuff affects us. Normal,” she said. "How you react to stuff is your decision. So, I choose to try to listen to the music instead of the noise.”

She continued, “Does that mean I don’t have emotions? That I don’t cry, scream, laugh? No. Especially that I’m a super tender heart, right? But it’s my decision after that, between the emotion and the reaction."
Grégoire spoke of the importance of feeling your emotions. “I’ll let myself be disappointed by someone, I’ll let myself be angry, be sad,” she said. "And I know for a fact how important it is, as a mental health advocate, to feel those emotions.”

As for co-parenting Xavier, 18, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrien, 11, Grégoire, said, “We have separate lives, but we have one family life. You need a common, conscious decision that our family is our greatest creation and we’re going to feed it together, no matter if we’re on different life paths.”
