NewZealand Prime Minister Ardern to marry long time partner

kiwis primier Jacinda Ardern and her long-term partner Clarke Gayford have become engaged to be married, her office said Friday. New Zealand Prime Minister Ardern(38), had Neve last June, becoming only the second prime minister in the world to give birth while in office and later taking the infant onto the floor of the UN Assembly in New York. I can't say anything about it other than they are engaged and it happened over Easter, the spokesman told the press. The engagement comes after a trying time for Ardern, who has been widely praised for her response to the Mar 15 Christchurch mosque shootings that claimed the lives of 51 Muslim worshippers. Ardern said in an interview last year that she would not propose to Gayford, even though she regards herself as a feminist.`I want to put him through the pain and torture of having to agonise about that question himself,` she told the BBC. News of the engagement broke after journalists noticed Ardern was wearing a diamond ring while carrying out her duties on Friday (3May).
