  After moving to Ottawa, Poilievre dated Conservative political advisor Jenni Byrne until 2011.
  
  In December 2017, Poilievre married Anaida Galindo, a Senate aide, in a ceremony in Portugal. Their first child, a daughter, was born in October 2018. In September 2021, the Poilievres welcomed their second child, a son.
  
  Poilievre and his family resides in the Stornoway residence. Although this residence is normally reserved for the Leader of the Opposition, who must be a sitting MP, they were given permission to continue living there following the 2025 election by the interim leader of the Conservative Party, Andrew Scheer.
  
  According to his disclosure statement to the federal ethics commissioner, Poilievre co-owns a real estate investment company that owns a condo in the Calgary area, which he rents out to a tenant. His wife, Anaida Poilievre, also owns a rental property in the Ottawa suburb of Orleans, which she bought in 2012 and took out a mortgage on in 2020. Poilievre has defended his investments, saying that he and his wife are "helping solve the problem by providing affordable rental accommodations to two deserving families". While residing at Stornoway, Poilievre said that his wife used the equity in her property to "maximize the best interests of her financial position."
  
  Poilievre is bilingual, speaking fluent English and French. Poilievre's Fransaskois father, Donald, taught him to preserve his French speaking competency from an early age.
