Ottawa, Canada - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau have announced their separation, ending an 18-year marriage.

The couple made the announcement on Instagram Wednesday, stating that they have come to "a difficult decision" to separate.

Trudeau, 51, and Grégoire Trudeau, 48, met in 2003 and were married in 2005. They have three children together: Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien.

The separation comes as a surprise to many, as the couple has always presented a united front in public. However, sources close to the couple say that they have been struggling with relationship issues for some time.

It is unclear what led to the separation, but some speculate that it may have been caused by the pressures of Trudeau's political career. The prime minister has been under intense scrutiny in recent years, particularly over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The separation is likely to have a significant impact on Trudeau's personal and political life. It remains to be seen how his decision to separate will affect his ability to lead Canada.
