“Sophie and I would like to share the fact that after many meaningful and difficult conversations we have made the decision to separate. As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build. For the well-being of our children, we ask that you respect our and their privacy. Thank you.”

Justin has always been protective of his family, and in 2021, he clapped back at a heckler who shouted slurs at Sophie. The PM was able to ignore the heckler at first, but when he called Sophie a “w****,” Trudeau jumped in. “Isn’t there a hospital you should be going to bother right now?” he clapped back.
Trudeau has been serving as the Prime Minister of Canada since 2015. Sophie has always supported him on the campaign trail over the years. Trudeau won his third election for Prime Minister amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in September 2021. He previously struck a deal to keep his Liberal party in power and maintain the PM position until 2025. However, the deal is not binding, and Trudeau is prepared to run for re-election at any time. It’s unclear how involved Sophie will be in his future campaigning.
