In discussions with Canadian media outlets, Sophie Trudeau reflected on her experiences following the split, emphasizing the enduring bonds of respect and love between herself and Justin.
Acknowledging the inevitable challenges that arise in family life, Sophie described the messy aspects of their post-split relationship as integral to appreciating the better times.

Rejecting the notion of seeing people solely through their titles or roles, Sophie emphasized the importance of recognizing the shared humanity that connects individuals.
