In nineteen seventy-one, Margaret married Pierre Trudeau, who was serving as the fifteenth prime minister of Canada at the time. Their union lasted until nineteen eighty-four, during the final months of his tenure in office. Together, they welcomed two sons, Alexandre 'Sacha' Trudeau, a journalist and author, and Michel Trudeau, who is now deceased. Following her divorce, Margaret had two more children, Kyle, born in nineteen eighty-four, and Alicia, born in nineteen eighty-eight, with Ottawa real-estate developer Fried Kemper.

Beyond her familial connections, she is a passionate advocate for mental health awareness, particularly for those living with bipolar disorder, a condition with which she has been diagnosed.
