Justin Trudeau’s ex-wife of 18 years is “letting go,” she said in a new Instagram post, after photos emerged Sunday showing the former Canadian Prime Minister lip-locked with Katy Perry.

Sophie Grégoire told followers in the video post, “The people, the places, even the moments that once felt, I don’t know, infinite—time asks us to not cling to them. And yet we do, I do, because to hold on feels safer than to let go.”

Grégoire continued, “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, you know, for the lesson, for the way a single smile can echo across a lifetime.”

She added, “Sometimes we forget that nothing we love was ever meant to be kept.”
