Justin Trudeau reveals ‘I think about quitting this crazy job everyday’ as Canada PM admits making ‘tough personal sacrifices’ – after ex-wife Sophie shacked up with hunky doctor
- The Canadian prime minister said he is considering quitting his job and admits it will require personal sacrifices
- His ex-wife recently hit out at him via a podcast, saying women ‘shouldn’t expect the minimum’
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admitted he’s considering quitting his “crazy job” every day after his ex-wife took a veiled swipe at him and said women “shouldn’t expect the minimum.”
In an interview with French-language broadcaster Radio-Canada on Friday, Trudeau said he plans to stay in office until the next election but is considering leaving his job.
Trudeau, whose Liberals are trailing in the polls, first took office in November 2015 and the next House of Commons elections are due in October 2025.
“I couldn’t be the man that I am and give up the fight at this point,” he said in the interview.
‘I think about quitting every day. It’s a crazy job that I do, and of course I have to make the personal sacrifices. It’s super tough, it’s super not great at times.’
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in an interview with French-language broadcaster Radio-Canada on Friday that he often thinks about quitting his job.
Trudeau, who first took office in November 2015, announced last year that he and his wife were splitting after 18 years of marriage
Trudeau’s ex-wife Sophie Gregoire said on a podcast that women ‘shouldn’t expect the minimum’ in what may have been a veiled swipe at the Canadian prime minister
Trudeau said he entered politics “not to be popular, not for personal reasons – because I want to serve and I know I have something to offer.”
“The choice Canadians will make in the election a year from now will be so fundamental.”
Last year, Trudeau, 52, and his wife Sophie Gregoire, 48, announced they were splitting after 18 years of marriage.
Their reasons for the split were not made clear, but the couple said at the time that it came after “many difficult conversations.”
Gregoire seemed to take a dig at her ex-husband as he spoke about love, trauma and her battle with bulimia on the Know Your Value podcast last week.
“Your needs, you shouldn’t expect the minimum,” the former TV host told the podcast.
‘You can expect a maximum of nourishment, presence and help from the people around you in your life. And as women, we shouldn’t have to keep it all together.”
Trudeau said: “I think about quitting every day. It’s a crazy job that I do, where I make the personal sacrifices, of course, it’s super tough, it’s great sometimes, not great’

According to the surgeon’s divorce papers, Gregoire was said to have had a relationship with Argentine-born Dr. a few months before her shock divorce from the Canadian Prime Minister. Marcos Bettolli.
In a divorce petition filed on April 26, 2023, Bettolli’s ex-wife Ana Remonda alleged that he had “re-partnered with a high-profile individual who attracts significant media attention and poses significant security concerns.”
The person was not named in court documents, but The National Post claimed it had been confirmed that Remonda’s claim involved 48-year-old Gregoire.
Bettolli, 48, works at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and also teaches at the University of Ottawa’s medical school.
He divorced stay-at-home mother Remonda in January 2020 after 22 years of marriage and two children together.
