Justin Trudeau's ex-wife Sophie has shared a mysterious message about 'letting go' of love in a new social media post, just days after her former partner was seen on a steamy trip with Katy Perry. Television host Sophie, 50, spoke about the art of not holding on to love in a new Instagram post uploaded on Monday.

'Sometimes we forget that nothing we love is ever meant to be kept,' she said. 'The people, the places, even the moments that once felt infinite, right? 'Time asks us not to cling to them, but yet we do. I do because to hold on feels safer than to let go.'

Sophie continued: 'But, love was never about possession, it was always about presence. The present moment and when we release what we cannot keep, we make space for the truth of connection, intimacy, the memory, for the lesson.

'A single smile can echo across a lifetime, grief also lives there. I lost my dad in the past year, and I feel that with grief also comes grace. 'So maybe, love's deepest teaching is this: to stand open hearted in the face of impermanence. We honor what has been and to trust that letting go is also a form of keeping inside us where no loss can erase it in a way.'

Sophie's message was praised by her followers on Instagram, with many branding it a 'beautiful' sentiment. 'This made me tear up, so lovely,' one said. 'I needed to hear this today!' penned another. 'Merci, Sophie.'

Sophie split from Justin in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. They have two sons, Xavier, 18, and Hadrien, 11, and a daughter, Ella-Grace, 16. Over the weekend, Justin was seen kissing and cuddling Katy on her 24-meter yacht, the Caravelle, off the coast of Santa Barbara, California .

Katy, 40, famous for hits including I Kissed a Girl, looked stunning in a black swimsuit as the pair embraced on the upper deck, seemingly oblivious to the tourists on a passing whale-watching boat.

At one point Justin, 53, placed his hand on the singer's bottom. The pair kicked off speculation about a budding romance in July when they were spotted having an intimate dinner at Le Violon restaurant in Montreal.

However, both have refused to comment on their relationship status. Earlier this year, sources claimed that Justin and Katy were 'in the very early stages' of 'exploring a romance'. A source told the Daily Mail at the time: 'Katy is very, very interested in him. She says he's a real catch, a high-quality guy. She clearly likes him a lot. He likes her a lot.'

Katy, who has a five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, split from Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando Bloom earlier this year. She was previously married to comedian Russell Brand from 2010 until 2012.
