Sophisticated, intelligent and passionate, Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau has a unique ability to get to the heart of every story, and easily identifies with the human side of every person that she interviews. As eTalk’s Quebec Reporter, Grégoire-Trudeau provides comprehensive coverage of Quebec-based celebrities and stories, but also takes interest in the social causes celebrities take on.

“The buzz of the entertainment world has always intrigued me,” she says. “But what really catches my interest is the opportunity and even the responsibility that stars have to make a difference.”

Fluently bilingual, Grégoire-Trudeau was an entertainment reporter for the daily Showbiz segment on LCN. She also contributed to entertainment segments on Salut Bonjour Weekend, and Clin D’Oeil and Bec et Museau for TVA. As well, she co-hosted Escales de Reve on Canal Evasion and hosted Canal Z’s Teksho, a series about the interaction of show business and technology. She also co-hosted morning shows on CKMF Radio and contributed to the daily program Coup de Pouce on Radio-Canada.

Grégoire-Trudeau studied Commerce at McGill University and attended the Université de Montreal, earning a B.A. in Communications. She then worked for three years in advertising, sales and public relations before studying radio and television.

Sometimes the subject of entertainment headlines herself, Grégoire-Trudeau has adjusted to the spotlight gracefully since she married Justin Trudeau in 2005, and as they welcomed their first child in October of 2007. In 2006, she was named spokesperson for the BACA Foundation, which supports the BACA eating disorder clinic in Quebec.
