Justin Trudeau's ex-wife Sophie Grégoire responded to his current relationship with Katy Perry in an eye-opening new interview.

Grégoire, 50, noted how it's nothing out of the ordinary for people to move on after they break up.
“We’re human beings and stuff affects us. Normal. How you react to stuff is your decision. So I choose to try to listen to the music instead of the noise," she told podcast host Arlene Dickinson.
“I’m very aware that a lot of public stuff out there can be triggers. Right, we're humans," the Canadian TV presenter added.
The prime minister and the TV presenter married in 2005 but split in 2023.
She stated: "What I do with it is my decision. The woman I want to become through this is my decision."
“Does that mean I don’t have emotions? That I don’t cry, scream, laugh? No. Especially that I’m a super tender heart, right? But it’s my decision after that, between the emotion and the reaction," Grégoire went on. “I’ll let myself be disappointed by someone, I’ll let myself be angry, be sad. And I know for a fact how important it is, as a mental health advocate, to feel those emotions."
