Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, have announced their separation after 18 years of marriage on August 2, 2023. The couple shares three children: Xavier, 15, Ella-Grace, 14, and Hadrien, 9.
Their decision to separate was based on “meaningful and difficult conversations,” as revealed in a joint statement posted on Instagram. Despite the separation, they intend to remain a close-knit family and co-parent their children.
Respect for their privacy and the privacy of their children has been requested in light of the announcement.
This news surprised many, given their popularity as one of Canada’s most successful political couples. Having been together for over 20 years, there were some recent speculations about the state of their marriage due to reduced public appearances together and reports of tension.
Trudeau and Grégoire Trudeau join the list of high-profile celebrity splits, which include Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, and Chris Pratt and Anna Faris.
The future remains uncertain for the couple, as they have not disclosed their plans regarding divorce. However, their commitment to raising their children together remains firm.
