Justin and Sophie Started Dating in 2003
Trudeau recently sparked dating rumors with Perry.
The pair first met as children in Montreal, as Sophie was a classmate and friend of Justin's youngest brother, Michel. She later shared she would often play at the Trudeaus' home as a child.
"They had a really cool pool with a trapeze and ropes, and we could play Tarzan for hours," she told Maclean's in June 2005. "We would hide in the closets to have our first kiss."
After they reconnected at a charity event in 2003, Sophie emailed him but got no response. However, a few weeks later, they bumped into each other again and began dating afterward.
Justin proposed to Sophie on October 18, 2004, after one year of dating.

Sophie said Justin 'went out of his way' when he popped the question to her.
On May 28, 2005, Justin and Sophie exchanged vows in a traditional Catholic ceremony at Sainte-Madeleine d'Outremont Church in Montreal.
According to CBC News, the former eTalk Quebec respondent reportedly said she was "the luckiest woman in the world" as she entered the church.
The Pair Share 3 Children
Justin said he wanted 'at least three children.'
Justin and Sophie share three children: Xavier James, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien Grégoire.
They welcomed their first child, Xavier, on October 18, 2007, before expanding their family with the births of Ella-Grace and Hadrien on February 5, 2009, and February 28, 2014, respectively.
Justin and Sophie Announced Their Separation in 2023

After 20 years together, the now-former Canadian Prime Minister announced their separation in a since-deleted Instagram post in August 2023.
"Hi everyone, Sophie and I would like to share the fact that after many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate," he wrote. "As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build."
The prime minister's office said Justin and Sophie signed a legal agreement to "ensure that all legal and ethical steps with regards to their decision to separate have been taken, and will continue to do so moving forward."
