The development is one of the biggest personal crises for Justin Trudeau since he became prime minister in 2015, especially since he often stresses the importance of family life.
OTTAWA, Canada – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie said on Wednesday, August 2, they were separating in an unexpected announcement that appeared to mark the end of the couple’s 18-year high-profile marriage.
For Trudeau, there are also painful historical parallels. His father, former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, separated from his wife, Margaret, in 1977, when he was in office. “Sophie and I would like to share the fact that after many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate,” Trudeau said on Instagram. Gregoire Trudeau posted an almost identical message on her own Instagram account.
The source, who requested anonymity because of the extreme sensitivity of the situation, said the couple would have joint custody of the children.Gregoire Trudeau, an advocate for gender equality who studied commerce at university, was working as a reporter when she met Trudeau in 2003. They married two years later.
