Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made a significant announcement, revealing that he and his wife, Sophie, are heading for divorce after being married for 18 years. The decision to end their long-standing marriage marks Trudeau as the second Canadian Prime Minister to go through a divorce while holding the office. Interestingly, his father, Pierre Trudeau, also underwent a divorce with his wife Margaret during his tenure as Prime Minister in 1984, following their separation in 1979. This news comes as a surprise to many, considering that Trudeau and Sophie were widely adored both in Canada and internationally. The couple has three children together, and they have stated their commitment to co-parenting after the separation.
