New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is pregnant with her first child. Ms Ardern, 37, made the announcement on Facebook, saying she is expecting a child with her partner, television host Clarke Gayford.
In the announcement, she said, “And we thought 2017 was a big year! Clarke and I are really excited that in June our team will expand from two to three, and that we’ll be joining the many parents out there who wear two hats. I’ll be Prime Minister and a mum, and Clarke will be first man of fishing and stay-at-home dad.”
She posted a photo of two fishing hooks, with a smaller hook inside one of them. Mr Gayford hosts a fishing television show and often posts photos of himself out on the water online. Ms Ardern said, “I know there will be lots of questions, and we’ll answer all of them (I can assure you we have a plan all ready to go!).”
Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters will take over for Ms Ardern for six weeks after the baby is born. In an official statement, Ms Ardern said both she and Mr Gayford were “really happy”.
Ms Ardern was confirmed as New Zealand’s Prime Minister in October 2017, a month after the country’s election on September 23. Several days before the confirm Ardern found she is pregnant, but not until the early stage passed, she didn’t announce the fact. She isn’t the first world leader to become pregnant as Benazir Bhutto became pregnant while serving as Pakistan’s leader in 1990.
