Justin Trudeau and Sophie Gregoire Trudeau announce separation

In recent years, Gregoire Trudeau has curtailed joint appearances with her husband and signs of stress were clear. The two were seen together publicly at Canada Day events in Ottawa last month. On their wedding anniversary last year, she said in a social media post that “we have navigated through sunny days, heavy storms, and everything in between and it ain’t over”. She went on: “Long-term relationships are challenging in so many ways.”
