How is the ex-wife of Justin Trudeau handling his highly publicized romance with Katy Perry? With a whole lot of grace!
Sophie Grégoire Trudeau sat down with Arlene Dickinson for an episode of the Arlene Is Alone podcast on Thursday. During the chat, the host brought up Justin’s current life in the public eye with Katy, which saw them make their first official public appearance as a couple together in Paris last month — and getting hot and heavy on a yacht before that.
It can be difficult for anyone to see their former spouse move on, especially so publicly. However, Arlene feels Sophia is dealing with it beautifully. She said while talking about the former Canadian Prime Minister’s love life:
“I don’t know how you stay cool… and I really admire it because I would probably not be that.”

A lot of folks wouldn’t! LOLz! And could you blame Sophie if she freaked out a bit? The duo were together for 18 years before they broke up back in 2023! She is tuning out “the noise” instead, though. Sophie explained:
“We’re human beings and stuff affects us. Normal. How you react to stuff is your decision. So I choose to try to listen to the music instead of the noise. I’m very aware that a lot of public stuff out there can be triggers. We’re humans. What I do with it is my decision. The woman I become through this is my decision.”
Of course, that does not mean these things don’t affect her. Even she slips ups and reacts at times. 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. I let myself feel. I’ll let myself be disappointed by someone, I’ll let myself be angry, be sad. And I know for a fact how important it is, as a mental health advocate, to feel those emotions.”
Ultimately, the former eTalk correspondent feels that “you can stay in that reactive mode, but you’ll suffer the consequences.” And she doesn’t want to do that, no matter how she may feel about Justin’s new relationship. Plus, at the end of the day, what matters most is maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship between them. Thankfully, they’re navigating that well.
She went on to say they’re on the same page about prioritizing their children, 18-year-old Xavier, 16-year-old Ella-Grace, and 11-year-old Hadrien:
“I’m definitely not a single mom. I have a partnership with a father who has such deep love and availability to his children.”
Amazing! Not everyone is that lucky, unfortunately! Although it is “not always easy,” the 50-year-old mom said she and Justin work as a singular family unit:
“We have separate lives, but we have one family life. You need a common, conscious decision of, ‘Our family is our greatest creation and we’re going to feed it together, no matter if we’re on different life paths.’ It’s not always easy to live, but it’s very adult.”
Good to hear! We wonder if Katy ever comes up in those co-parenting chats… Does Justin plan to bring her around the kids soon, especially if his son wants to get into music? Hmm. Watch the podcast interview (below):
