He hit his head on a pole because of her... The love story (that ended) of
Justin Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire

The romance of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Grégoire began in a rather Hollywood way. They met on the playground when they were very young and years later reconnected and fell in love after a chance meeting.

But 18 years on, the fairytale appears to have lost its magic, with the couple shocking the world by announcing on Wednesday, August 2, that they were separating after "many difficult and meaningful conversations" about the future of their relationship.

The shock announcement, which marked the end of nearly two decades of marriage, ended a relationship that began in childhood after they met when Sophie, now 48, was a colleague and close friend of the 51-year-old's younger brother. year old Justin. The pair spent hours playing together in their childhood and even shared an innocent kiss for the first time while hiding in a closet in his family's home.

Although they stopped communicating when they got older, as they both went to different colleges to build their careers, they came back into each other's lives when they were randomly assigned to co-host a gala dinner in 2003.

It was immediately clear that there was something between them, but the politician rejected Sophie after she sent him a message and completely ignored him after that event.

Justin later explained that he wasn't interested in a relationship at the time, but when the two accidentally bumped into each other on the street months later, it felt like luck.

On their first date, the future prime minister was so confused by his feelings for Sophie that he hit his head on a pillar. That night, although they had only spent a few hours with each other as adults, he announced that they would "spend the rest of their lives together", after which they both "cried".

Justin proposed to her a year later and the moment he got down on one knee in front of Sophie was also fairytale-like, with candles, rose petals and jazz playing in the background. Their wedding in 2005 was fit for a prince and princess.

But as Justin continued to build his career in politics, it put a strain on their love. Sophie admitted she initially struggled to adjust to life in the spotlight and when he became prime minister in 2014 and they were forced to move into an official government estate, she struggled to make their home re to feel like at their home.

Despite everything, they stayed together and became parents of three children. But now they decided to go their separate ways. The couple shared a joint statement on Instagram about the separation, stressing that "they will remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything they have built together."
