Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau are separating after 18 years of marriage, a high-profile split for Canada's most well-known political couple.
The announcement, made suddenly on Wednesday, ended speculation that had long swirled around Trudeau's marriage to the former television host of Quebec.
The Trudeaus shared an Instagram post - in both English and French - shortly after midnight.
"After much thought and consideration, we have made the difficult decision to separate," they said.
The two were married in 2005 and have three children together: Xavier, 15, Ella-Grace, 14, and Hadrien, nine.We continue to be committed co-parents and good friends, and we remain one in our support of our kids, as we always have, they stated.
"We ask that you please respect our privacy and the privacy of our children as we navigate this new chapter."
A separate statement from the Prime Minister's Office sent on behalf of the family said the Trudeaus are going on vacation together next week.
"They are a close-knit family and Sophie and the Prime Minister are focused on raising their children in a safe, loving, and cooperative environment," said a caption on a photo taken by Norman Jean Roy. "
'For Sophie and the Prime Minister, their first meeting, Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau (in the dress by Aschenti De La Renta) says, 'At the end of dinner, he said, 'I'm 31, and I've been waiting for you.' And I said, 'I've been waiting for you, too.'"
Trudeau's insistence that he intends to lead his party into a fourth campaign, and the party's internal sources saying the votes will not come until 2025 - the fixed date for the next federal election, when his left-leaning New Democratic Party deal with governing Conservatives expires - could mitigate the effects of such a deeply personal and life-changing event.
Trudeau's parents, former prime minister Pierre and Margaret, split in the final months of the 1984 campaign. They separated nearly nine years earlier, after three elections and almost a decade of Pierre's leadership.
Justin Trudeau has been in power for almost eight years, winning three elections as well.
Margaret Trudeau dramatized her marriage to a prime minister in her 1979 memoir, "Beyond Reason," writing, "A panel of glass around me was slowly lowered, like a mental patient, one incapable of making decisions and unable to face the bright light."
Grégoire Trudeau's own book, "The Next Best Thing: A Deeply Personal Journey into the World of Journaling," includes interviews with experts on journaling and well-being and is due out in April from Penguin Random House Canada.
