As Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau hard-launched their relationship with a diplomatic trip to Japan, here's where his ex-wife, Sophie Gregoire, is right now.
In one of the wildest hard launches ever, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau made their relationship official with a diplomatic trip to Japan. The former Canadian Prime Minister and Katy also paid a visit to the former Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, and his wife, Yuko. As the American popstar seems to be taking on her role as the partner of a political leader well, where is Justin's ex-wife, Sophie Gregoire, now?
After Sophie Gregoire and Justin Trudeau announced their separation, she continued to live at the Rideau Cottage but also had a place of her own, according to a Vogue report. However, now that Justin is not the PM of Canada anymore, the former couple are leading their own lives in their separate homes. Apart from that, Sophie, who was once a newscaster, has now taken on the role of author, public speaker, and philanthropist. She might not have the political authority now, but Sophie is still involved in social work, especially in discussions about women's and children's issues. A look at Sophie's Instagram also shows her talking about mental and physical well-being.
The internet has been going wild with the snap of the new celebrity couple, Katy and Justin, meeting the former Japanese PM, Fumio Kishida, and his wife, Yuko. The Japanese political leader shared a post on his X account about meeting Justin and his 'partner'. Talking about their continued friendship even after the end of their terms, Fumio Kishida wrote:
"Former Canadian Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau visited Japan with his partner and joined my wife and me for lunch. During his time as prime minister, we met multiple times as fellow leaders, and when I visited Canada, we worked together to strengthen bilateral relations, including formulating the 'Japan-Canada Action Plan,' sweating it out side by side. I am delighted that we continue to maintain this friendship in this way."
Meanwhile, Justin replied to the tweet and shared how delighted he and Katy were to have had the chance to meet former PM Fumio and his wife, Yuko. Apart from this meeting, Justin and Katy have been enjoying their time in beautiful Tokyo during the winter. The former Canadian PM replied to his former Japanese counterpart:
"Great to see you @kishida230. Katy and I were so glad to have the chance to sit down with you and Yuko. Thank you, Fumio, for your friendship and your continued commitment to both the international rules-based order and to a better future for everyone."
Justin and Sophie had first met as kids. However, their connection deepened when they reconnected in 2003. The duo was married within a year of dating and tied the knot in 2005. They were revered as one of the most well-loved couples in Canada. However, in 2023, their separation announcement sent shockwaves. They were married for eighteen years when they shared the news about their split with the world. Justin and Sophie now continue to co-parent their three children.
