She warned against living in a “reactive mode,” noting that constant reactivity can be harmful. “You can stay in that reactive mode, but you’ll suffer the consequences,” she said. A central part of Grégoire’s message was about family stability. Despite their separation, she emphasized that she and Trudeau remain deeply committed to co‑parenting their three children: Xavier (18), Ella-Grace (16), and Hadrien (11). She rejected the notion that she is “a single mom.” Instead, she described their parental relationship as “very adult,” underlined by a “common, conscious decision” to nurture their children’s sense of unity.
One of Grégoire’s most powerful insights was about her own personal growth. She insisted that her reaction is not just about coping — it’s about actively deciding who she wants to be through this chapter of her life. “The woman I want to become … is my decision,” she said. At 50, she reflected on maturity and resilience, acknowledging that people face life from where they are “inside of them.” Grégoire’s remarks offer a rare, candid look into the emotional complexity of public life and private heartbreak.
