The duo got married in 2005, and blessed with three children.

The reason for the separation is yet to be disclosed but rumours it that it is due to infidelity.

The Prime Minister posted on his social media pages to announce the development.

He writes:

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.

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.

For the well-being of our children, we ask that you respect our and their privacy.

Thank you.
