Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau announced on social media that he will be separating from his wife Sophie. The couple have been married for 18 years and made this decision to separate after many conversations.
The couple has three children- Xavier, 15, Ella Grace, 14 and Hadrien,9. They have requested the public to respect their privacy for the well being of their children. They have signed a legal separation agreement but will still remain to be a close family. The family will go on a vacation next week and will be seen together often.
The couple got married in 2005 and have known each other since they were children. Justin Trudeau will become the first prime minister to go through a separation while in office since his father Pierre Trudeau, the then prime minister whose wife Maegaret left him in 1977.
