In the interview, Trudeau had said, "Our marriage is not perfect. We have had very difficult times, ups and downs. But despite everything, Sophie remains my best friend, my partner, and my love." He also stated, "Even though it may hurt sometimes, we always choose to be honest with each other."
When the host asked about the phrase "ups and downs" and whether it referred to extramarital relationships, Trudeau hesitated and replied, "No." However, rumors did not die down at that time.
Trudeau had mentioned that his wife dislikes his job, saying, "I have a stressful job. Balancing my private life with my work can sometimes be very challenging. Still, I love my job, but Sophie hates me for loving my job."
Just a few months after these statements, Sophie gave an interview addressing the infidelity rumors. She said, "You can ask us if there was infidelity in our marriage, but I cannot give you a yes or no answer." Her statement caused a significant stir at the time.
Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister's Spokesperson Alison Murphy stated, "They have taken all the necessary legal and ethical steps regarding their separation, and they will continue to do so in the future."
