The former wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has opened up about the couple's shock split in a candid interview - and revealed what she plans to do next. 

In her latest book, penned before their separation, the 48-year-old Sophie Trudeau discussed her battle with an eating disorder while sharing personal anecdotes from her 'imperfect' marriage with Justin. 

Since the end of her 18-year marriage with Justin in August 2023, Sophie now immerses herself in a busy schedule that includes promoting her book, hosting yoga sessions, and continuing her advocacy for mental wellness.

Speaking on her split from Justin, she told The Times: 'We don't have to dramatize, end abruptly, break relationships in order to restructure our lives and our minds.

'And something changed, yes, something broke; I am not sure that's how I mean it,' she added, insisting she and Justin remain close as a family despite the separation. 

She refused to comment on her relationship with the Ottawa pediatric surgeon whom she appeared to fall in love before her separation was announced.

Sophie now lives not far from her ex-husband while taking care of their three young children - Xavier, 16, Ella-Grace, 15, and Hadrien, 10. 

'We are still all hanging out together: we love each other, we spend time together. It's organic — you know, the kids all sleeping together one night, that's fine. 

'And I have a little space for me and sometimes the kids come there, and we're just so close to each other that we do it organically. And it feels good, it feels natural. It doesn't feel forced. It feels heartwarming,' she told the Times. 

Reports suggested that by the time the Justins' decision to part ways was announced to the world, Sophie had already started a relationship with Ottawa-based pediatric surgeon Dr. Marcos Bettolli. 

But in the latest interview, she did not address the rumors, adding that there are no secrets between her and Justin. 

'You know, in some ways it's boring for some people because we've always been truthful to each other. We don't hold secrets That's not the dynamic we have. 

'And let me be honest: in some ways I'm very proud of how we — not how the world thinks of us — how we navigate this. When we're together and we look at each other, that's what counts.'

'Though we are no longer a couple, I know our shared sense of humor will always help us weather the storms.' 

But she did not hesitate to open up about some deeply personal experiences in her new book Closer Together: Knowing Ourselves Loving Each Other, which offers readers with a glimpse into her 18-year-long marriage with Justin. 

For example, Sophie shared a form about 'attachment styles' that she filled out prior to the separation. 

She ticked the box saying she
