New Zealand’s 37-year-old Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern who took over as PM on 26th Oct last year, today announced that she is pregnant.
Arden and her partner, Clarke Gayford are expecting their first child in June.
While making the announcement on her Instagram feed this morning and in her subsequent media statement, Arden said, “We’re both really happy. We wanted a family but weren’t sure it would happen for us, which has made this news unexpected but exciting.
She has been flooded with congratulatory messages from political leaders and others from all walks of life.
PM Ardern's announcement makes her one of the only political head of government in recent times to be pregnant while in office.
