But according to claims made in a divorce petition involving the man alleged to be her new beau, the dissolution of Gregoire Trudeau’s marriage to Justin Trudeau may have been in the offing months before it was announced, according to a Postmedia report by Glen McGregor.

In a petition — filed on April 26 — Ana Remonda alleged that her husband, Dr. Marcos Bettolli, a pediatric surgeon at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, had “re-partnered with a high-profile individual who attracts significant media attention and presents significant security considerations,” Postmedia reported.

The report confirmed that the individual referred to in the petition is Gregoire Trudeau, although she is not identified in court documents.
The Trudeaus made international headlines Aug. 2 when they announced that they had legally separated after 18 years of marriage. Government sources said that Gregoire Trudeau, 48, had already moved out of their Rideau Cottage residence, but intended to return there often to co-parent their three children — Hadrien, 9, Ella-Grace, 14, and Xavier, 16.
The location of her new residence has not been made public, but Postmedia reported that she has posted Instagram videos from what seems to be the loft of an Ottawa condominium not far from Rideau Hall.

“Unmarked vehicles with what appear to be plainclothes RCMP members inside have been seen in recent weeks outside the building, which is listed in the court documents as Bettolli’s address,” the report said, adding that Gregoire Trudeau could not be reached for comment.
Remonda and Bettolli, who also teaches at the University of Ottawa’s medical school, were married in Argentina and moved to Canada in 2004, the report said. They separated in 2020 and Bettolli moved out in February 2021, according to divorce records.
Their respective lawyers declined to comment on the case, the report said.
