In her first public statement since the relationship between former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and singer Katy Perry became public, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau addressed the issue.

The motivational speaker of Sophie, 50, appeared on the Arlene Is Alone podcast, where she reflected on how she's handling her ex-husband's life under public scrutiny. Without directly mentioning Perry, Sophie referred to "the public exposure of what Justin is doing" and shared her philosophy for navigating this new phase. "We're human beings and things affect us," Sophie admitted. "How you react to things is your choice. So I choose to try to listen to the music rather than the noise." With this metaphor, Trudeau's ex-partner emphasized his conscious decision to focus on the positive. Regarding raising her children, Sophie made it clear that her current priority is her own development. “I'm very aware that many public things can be triggers,” she acknowledged, adding resolutely, “The woman I become through this is my decision.” Regarding raising their three children together—Xavier, 18, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrien, 11—Sophie emphasized her shared commitment to parenting with Justin. “I'm definitely not a single mother,” she stressed. “I have a relationship with a father who has a deep love and is available for his children.”

The family dynamic they have built after the separation is based on an agreement to which everyone agrees:

“We have separate lives, but we have a family life. It takes a shared, conscious decision: 'Our family is our greatest creation, and we are going to nurture it together, regardless of whether we are on different paths in life.'”

Sophie acknowledged that this balance is not always easy to maintain, but concluded with a reflection on maturity: “It's not always easy to live, but it's very grown-up.”

Recently, Page Six claimed that for the former prime minister, Katy Perry is the perfect woman.According to the source: “He's crazy about her and thinks she's the perfect woman,” “They share everything,from politics and children to French food.” The couple made their relationship official on October 25, when they were seen together at the singer's birthday party in Paris.
