Sophie Grégoire'S Raw Valentine'S Day Confessions Amid Justin Trudeau'S Katy Perry Romance

Sophie Grégoire's Candid Valentine's Day Reflections

Sophie Grégoire, the ex-wife of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has bared her soul in a heartfelt reflection about spending Valentine's Day 'uncoupled'. While Justin's relationship with pop sensation Katy Perry continues to bloom, Sophie is navigating a different path, marked by self-discovery and resilience.

Writing in her newsletter, Closer Together, Sophie, now 50, delved into the emotional intricacies of being single at midlife. "Fine. I’ll admit it. On the surface, being ‘uncoupled’ at 50 on Valentine’s Day doesn’t make me feel amazing," she wrote, capturing the vulnerability and strength of her journey.

“Often, it’s a recalibration, a moment where the noise quiets enough for us to hear our own voice again,” she reflected.

Embracing Midlife and Self-Love

Sophie explored the challenges of "midlife singlehood", which she sees not as a loss, but as a transformative period. She emphasized the importance of self-love, describing it as an ongoing practice that provides emotional safety. "In many ways, self-love is being aware of our defence mechanisms and adaptive behaviours," she explained. "It’s about unlearning them and choosing to change some of our emotional habits."

Her insights resonate with many, offering comfort to those in similar life stages. "For millions of women (and men), the answer hasn’t always been simple," she noted, highlighting societal pressures to conform and the internal vigilance it breeds.

Life After Love: Co-Parenting and New Beginnings

Since their split in 2023, Sophie and Justin have maintained a close, respectful relationship for the sake of their children, Xavier, 17, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrien, 11. They continue to co-parent amicably, demonstrating a united front despite the end of their marriage.

Sophie briefly found solace in the company of Ottawa-based paediatric surgeon Dr Marcos Bettolli, while Justin has embraced a new chapter with Katy Perry. Their romance, first hinted at in 2025, has captured public attention, with the pair recently sharing moments from a romantic Christmas getaway.

Once a powerhouse couple, Justin and Sophie’s love story began long before his political career, rooted in childhood friendship. Despite their separate paths, both continue to prioritize family and personal growth.
