Taking to social media on Friday, Ms Ardern announced that she and her partner, Clarke Gayford, were expecting their first child. 

โ€œAnd 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 weโ€™ll be joining the many parents out there who wear two hats,โ€ Ardern wrote on Facebook and Instagram. 

โ€œIโ€™ll be Prime Minister AND a mum, and Clarke will be โ€œfirst man of fishingโ€ and stay at home dad.โ€

The New Zealand leader added: โ€œI think itโ€™s fair to say that this will be a wee one that a village will raise, but we couldnโ€™t be more excited. I know there will be lots of questions, and weโ€™ll answer all of them (I can assure you we have a plan all ready to go!) But for now, bring on 2018.โ€
