Canada’s former First Lady complained that the heart-filled February ‘felt particularly noisy’ for people experiencing ‘middle-life singleness’ but suggested it shouldn’t be seen as a failure.
‘Usually this is a recalibration; It is a moment when the noise becomes quiet enough for us to hear our own voice again.’
Sophie and Justin announced their separation in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage.
Sophie, MD, an Argentinian-born pediatric surgeon at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa. He moved in with Marcos Bettolli.

“For millions of women (and men!), the answer hasn’t always been simple,” Sophie wrote in the newsletter.
‘We are taught, sometimes gently, sometimes harshly, that our bodies, emotions, and uniqueness must adapt to be accepted.
‘When we spend years reshaping ourselves to adapt, our nervous system learns to be alert rather than comfortable.’
‘In many ways, self-love means being aware of our defense mechanisms and adaptive behaviors.
‘It’s about choosing to unlearn them and change some of our emotional habits.
‘Self-love is a practice. There is security at its core. And security comes from presence.’
While Sophie reflects on love, her ex-husband is moving on and his new relationship with 41-year-old American pop singer Katy Perry looks set to become stronger.

‘I’m very aware that a lot of public things out there can be triggering. What I do with it is my decision. “It’s my decision as to the woman I want to get through this with,” he said.
‘Does this mean I don’t have feelings? That I didn’t cry, scream, or laugh? NO.
‘I have a particularly sensitive heart, don’t I? But from now on, it’s my decision between emotion and reaction.’
Sophie praised Justin as a good father to his three children: Xavier, 18, Ella-Grace, 17, and Hadrien, 11.
