As rumours about former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's apparent connection with pop star Katy Perry spread throughout the world, focus has quietly shifted to Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, the woman who used to be at the center of his life.

The former TV host, media personality, and wellness advocate is back in the news, but not for politics or activism. Instead, it's because of the romance news about her estranged husband.

Sophie was born in Montreal in 1975. Her father was a stockbroker and her mother was a nurse, thus she grew up in a modest home. She started out in media and public relations, and eventually became a well-known face on Quebec television.

She became Canada's "First Lady" when she married Justin Trudeau in 2005. She was graceful and easy to relate to.

Over the years, she became a strong advocate for mental health awareness, women's empowerment, and emotional well-being. She used her platform to talk about anxiety and being real in a world that is frequently focused on appearances.

Separation from Justin Trudeau

But in August 2023, Sophie and Justin said they were breaking up after 18 years of being together. Their joint statement was about how they would continue to respect each other and co-parent their three children.

But over a year later, their private story is back in the news, this time because of rumors that Justin is dating singer Katy Perry.

People say they saw the two of them on vacation together in Santa Barbara and at private gatherings, which led to rumors of a blossoming romance.

People are focused on Justin's new chapter, but Sophie has quietly accepted hers.

She recently wrote, "Nothing we love is meant to last forever..." We don't cling on to connection; we feel it while it's there.

People who know Sophie say she is focused, balanced, and protective of her kids, and she doesn't like to gossip. There are rumors that she is dating an Ottawa-based surgeon, but she has chosen to keep her head down and stay quiet.

Even though Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry have been seen together many times, neither of them has said they are in a relationship.
