CANADIAN politician Melanie Joly, 44, has been in and out of the news since becoming a prominent figure in Canada’s government.

And despite being Justin Trudeau’s right hand woman at work she is married to entrepreneur and violin maker Felix Marzell.

Who is Melanie Joly?

She is currently the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Canada and has been in her role since 2021.

Born in Montreal, Quebec she has been apart of parliament since October 19, 2015, where she was the MP for Ahuntsic-Cartierville.

Since then she’s been the Minister of Canadian Heritage and the Minister of Tourism, Official Languages and La Francophonie,

In 2019 she was made the minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario and stayed there for almost two years.

Alongside that role she was also the Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages.

This hard work all paid off as Trudeau made her the minister of Foreign Affairs, making her one of Canada’s most powerful women.

She is also a philanthropist and won the Arnold Edinborough Award in 2010 for her significant contributions to the Canadian cultural scene.

Joly actively involves herself as a spokesperson for Logis Rose-Virginie and an ambassador for La rue des Femmes due to her being a huge fan of creating social change.

Who is Melanie Joly’s husband Felix Marzell?

Melanie Joly married a quiet violin maker called Felix Marzell in 2010.

They met in Montreal in 2007 and have a daughter named Romy, who is just eight-years-old.

He is the co-founder of Dix au carre – a Canadian research and development lab that specializes in creative design projects for the entertainment industry.

Joly and Marzell keep their personal life to themselves and have rarely been spotted together outside of public events.

Marzell in particular has almost no information available about him including a lack of any social media accounts.

Back in 2020 the couple faced horror rumours of Joly having an alleged affair with Prime Minister Trudeau.

Joly strongly denied the thought of her cheating and has apparently reassured Felix that he has nothing to worry about.

Marzell has only been pictured with his wife once by the press after a swearing-in ceremony the pair went to.

And his name has only been uttered once in public when she spoke about her tragic miscarriage in 2021 with her husbands baby.
