Sophie Trudeau Speaks Out About the Stress and Publicity Following Her Split from Ex Justin
Sophie Grégoire Trudeau has offered a rare public reflection on rebuilding her life after separating from former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. During a recent interview, the author and mental-health advocate spoke candidly about emotional healing and co-parenting.
When asked about the new attention surrounding Justin’s relationship with pop star Katy Perry, Sophie acknowledged the personal impact. She stated, “We’re human beings and things affect us,” but emphasized choosing to “listen to the music instead of the noise.”
Her calm response highlighted a conscious decision to prioritize grace over public drama. She is focused on maintaining peace for herself and her family despite the media spotlight.
Sophie also shared the challenges of raising their three children under constant public scrutiny. She expressed concern for their well-being, noting the “physical and psychological stress” that comes with such a visible life.
Despite the end of their marriage in 2023, Sophie stressed that she and Justin remain a united parenting team. She clarified she is “not a single mom” and praised his dedication to their children.
The family continues to spend holidays and vacations together, honoring their commitment to a strong co-parenting partnership for their children, Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien.
Justin Trudeau stepped down as Liberal leader in early 2025, and has since been seen publicly with Katy Perry. As both embark on new chapters, Sophie’s interview reveals a path forward built on resilience and a shared focus on family.
