Chapter 2: The Reasons Behind the Split:
The reasons behind their divorce are enigmatic. There were no whispers of a troubled relationship, no rumours of infidelity, no public disagreements. The couple remained a united force, standing by each other through trials and tribulations. However, the saying ‘still waters run deep’ seems apt here.
Despite their diminishing public appearances, they were seen together at significant events like the coronation of King Charles III in May and hosting US President Joe Biden in March. In his 2014 autobiography, Trudeau acknowledged the imperfections in their marriage and the hurdles they overcame together, with Sophie being his best friend, partner, and love.
