In 2019, that long partnership came to an abrupt end. After more than three decades of marriage, Palin learned that Todd had filed for divorce through an email from his attorney. She later described the moment as devastating. The divorce was finalized in early 2020, marking the close of a relationship that had defined much of her adult life.
What followed was a period of rebuilding. Todd moved forward quietly with a new partner, while Palin began reshaping her own future. She found companionship with former NHL player Ron Duguay, a connection that started as friendship and grew into something steady and supportive. Palin has described the relationship as grounding—a source of calm amid years of public noise.
Even as her personal life shifted, Palin never lost her edge. She returned to the political arena with a congressional run, reminding supporters and critics alike that she remains a force shaped by persistence and conviction. Through personal loss, public debate, and constant reinvention, Sarah Palin continues to press forward—resilient, outspoken, and unmistakably herself, navigating life’s storms with the same toughness that once carried her onto the national stage.
