sarahb 17,205 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 New Zealand’s prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, has announced she is pregnant with her first child. Ardern, who was sworn in to office in October, said in a Facebook post that she and her partner, Clarke Gayford, are expecting in June. “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,” the 37-year-old wrote. “I’ll be prime minister and a mum, and Clarke will be ‘first man of fishing’ and stay at home dad. 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 deputy prime minister, Winston Peters, will take over to allow Ardern to take six weeks of maternity leave after the baby is born. In a statement Ardern said she intended to be “fully contactable” during her period of maternity leave. At the end of her leave she intended to resume “all prime ministerial duties”, she said. Green party leader James Shaw congratulated the prime minister and Gayford. “That a woman can be the prime minister of New Zealand and choose to have a family while in office says a lot about the kind of country we are and that we can be – modern, progressive, inclusive, and equal,” Shaw said.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/18/new-zealand-jacinda-ardern-pregnant An atheist, unmarried female prime minister is pregnant while her male partner will be a stay at home dad Do you feel him sir?
