Sophie Grégoire, the ex‑wife of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has spoken publicly for the first time about his highly publicized relationship with pop star Katy Perry. In a heartfelt conversation on the “Arlene Is Alone” podcast, Grégoire opened up about the emotional impact of watching her former partner move on — and how she is choosing to respond with grace and intentionality. During the November 12 episode, Grégoire acknowledged the pain and vulnerability that come with her ex’s new romance. “We’re human beings and stuff affects us. How you react … is your decision,” she told host Arlene Dickinson.
Rather than getting caught up in the “noise” of public scrutiny, Grégoire said she’s determined to “listen to the music.” She understands that headlines and speculation can trigger emotional responses — but she insists that how she processes those feelings is her choice. Grégoire made it clear that she doesn’t “pretend” she’s unaffected. She said she lets herself feel disappointment, anger, sadness — even though she has a “very tender heart.”
