Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (51) and his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau (48) have announced their separation. “After important and difficult conversations, we decided to separate,” the two said on Instagram on Wednesday. “As always, we remain a family with a deep love and respect for one another and for all that we have built and will continue to build together.” Mainly for the sake of their children, both asked that their privacy be respected.
The couple have signed a separation agreement, Trudeau’s office said in a statement. “They have worked to ensure that all legal and ethical steps are taken with respect to their decision to separate and will continue to do so.”
As before, the two wanted to raise their children in a “safe, loving and collaborative environment”. “Both parents will remain present in their children’s lives, and Canadians can expect to see the family together often.” For example, the family will go on vacation together next week.
The couple married in 2005 and have three children together – Xavier, born 2007, Ella-Grace, born 2009, and Hadrien, born 2014. Justin Trudeau is a member of the Liberal Party and has been Prime Minister of Canada since 2015. Sophie Grégoire Trudeau had long worked as a presenter on television and radio.
