Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has gained global fame for his likeable persona, open attitude towards welcoming refugees, and support of LGBT and women's rights.
He has also been named one of the "sexiest" men in politics, and even made Vogue's "Sexiest Man Alive" list.
However, little was known about his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, until she came under media fire earlier this week when she posted a photo on Instagram for International Women's Day calling for ladies to post a photo of their "male ally" to "celebrate the boys and men in our lives who encourage us to be who we truly are, who treat girls and women with respect."
Prime Minister Trudeau has repeatedly called himself a feminist, and has a diverse cabinet made up of equal men and women.
Sophie has also campaigned for various gender quality charities, and is the national ambassador for Plan Canada’s "Because I Am a Girl" initiative.
But what else is known about the woman standing beside the world's most-loved politician?

According to the BBC, commenters said Ms Gregoire Trudeau's post was "tone deaf" and even "shameful."
With a Prime Minister husband who has repeatedly called himself a feminist, it's hard to imagine her post was anything but well-intended. However, with little known about her, it's easy to criticise. So who is Sophie Grégoire Trudeau?
