Justin Trudeau is the first prime minister to divorce his wife while in office after his father Pierre Trudeau

Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, and his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau have separated. The PM office announced in a statement on Wednesday that they had signed a formal contract.

 

The couple’s 18-year marriage has come to an end with the split. It’s interesting that Justin Trudeau will be the first prime leader to go through a divorce while still serving in office. When Pierre Trudeau was in power in 1977, his mother Margaret Trudeau and his father, former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, divorced.

 

Margaret Trudeau allegedly relocated to New York City while her husband, who was 29 years her senior, stayed in Canada, according to The National Post. She filed for divorce six years later.

 

 

 

In 1971, three years after he was elected as Canada’s fifteenth prime minister, she wed Pierre Trudeau. In 1984, during his last few months in office, they were divorced.

 

She was the first woman in Canadian history to be both the mother and wife of the prime minister. Margaret Trudeau, who has been given a bipolar disorder diagnosis, is an advocate for other people with the illness.

 

Pierre Trudeau had never married when he was chosen to be the prime minister in 1968. They kept their relationship a secret, so Canadians were shocked when the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation revealed the prime minister Trudeau’s honeymoon at Alta Lake, British Columbia, after a surprise wedding with Margaret in North Vancouver, British Columbia, on March 4, 1971. Their age differences are apart by 29 years.

 

Before being engaged to the Prime Minister, she had a love connection with him that lasted six months. With the exception of their lone public appearance together before to marriage.Except for closest family members and close acquaintances, it was kept completely a secret.

 

Margaret Trudeau (née Sinclair), at 22 years old, secretly married Pierre Trudeau, then 51 years old, in 1971. Sinclair was only 18 years old when they first met, and they were both on the island of Tahiti.

 

Later, Trudeau said, “I found her eyes very alluring.”
