Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau has announced that he and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, are separating.

The prime minister and his wife posted the news on their respective Instagram accounts.

They said they came to that decision after “many meaningful and difficult conversations”.

“As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other for everything we have built and will continue to build,” he wrote.

The couple asked for privacy out of respect for the children’s well-being.

Sophie and Justin Trudeau first met as children in Montreal and crossed paths again at a charity event in 2003, according to Vogue. They married in 2005 and have three children, two sons and a daughter.
