New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern announces pregnancy
Wellington, Jan 19 (IBNS): New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Friday announced that she is expecting her first child.
Jacinda Ardern and her partner Clarke Gayford are expecting their first child in June.
The PM said in a Facebook post: "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 said.
She said: "I think it’s fair to say that this will be a wee one that a village will raise, but we couldn’t be more excited."
The PM 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!) But for now, bring on 2018."
Clarke Gayford is the host of a fishing and cooking program named Fish of the Day on New Zealand television.
