Wellington: New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, is engaged to her long-term partner, television presenter Clarke Gayford, her spokesperson confirmed on Friday. It emerged that the couple had got engaged over the Easter weekend in Hawke’s Bay after Ardern was spotted wearing a diamond ring at an event at the Pike River mine on Friday, reports the Guardian. Ardern and Gayford became a couple after he approached her about a constituency issue in her Auckland electorate of Mount Albert about five years ago. In June last year, the pair became parents to daughter Neve Te Aroha, making Ardern the second Prime Minister in history to give birth while in office. The first was the late Benazir Bhutto, Pakistan’s two-time Prime Minister. (IANS)
