After becoming New Zealand`s youngest prime minister in more than a century and a half, Jezinda Adhn is set to "upgrade" his life this year. She announced on the 19th that she was pregnant and was due to give birth in June this year.
"Clark Gayford and I are excited to share the news that June will be our first child," Aden told reporters at his home on the same day. Gifford was Adeen`s companion, and the two were unmarried.
The "post-80s" prime minister, with a smile on her face, said the pair had been "confidential" for a long time and was not used to talking publicly about pregnancy.
Adeen plans to take a six-week postnatal break, when deputy prime minister Winston Peters acts as acting prime minister. She was still "accessible" during maternity leave.
Born in 1980, she became a member of New Zealand`s parliament in 2008 and was elected deputy leader of the Labour Party in January last year. Seven months later, she was elected head of the new party because of the resignation of the then Labour leader. At that time, the outside world was very concerned about when she had to have a child.
The first questions he faced as Labour leader that night included whether he would make a choice between children and the workplace. She answered calmly, saying she had talked about the plight of many of the women. The next day, radio anchor Mark Richardson went after him again, saying "it`s a legitimate question for New Zealand because she (Adeen) might be prime minister." Richardson thinks the same is true when hiring female employees.
Adeen accused Richardson of asking women to answer at work in 2017 whether they intended to have children, "which is totally unacceptable." `it `s not about when women want children to decide whether to leave their jobs to them, `she said.
Adeen and Labour failed to win parliamentary elections last September, but he became the third prime minister in New Zealand`s history to succeed in forming a cabinet. In Twitter, she said 2017 would be "a big year"; in 2018, she would be "part-time", the prime minister and mother.
Agence France-Presse reported that Adele will become New Zealand`s first child-bearing prime minister. Earlier, Pakistan`s late Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto also gave birth during his term. In addition, a number of national leaders, such as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, became fathers during his term of office.
"there is no doubt that times have changed," she said, enabling her to strike a balance between her mother`s role and her political career. "I`m not the first woman to have a job and a child," she said. "it`s a special situation, but a lot of women before me did a good job."
Adeen described pregnancy as an "incredible surprise". She and Gifford had plans to have a child, but for a time she doubted that she would not be pregnant.
Gayford is a TV fishing host. Asked if the pregnancy meant the couple would get married, he evinced: "I like the two of us always doing things backwards." We buy a house together, then have a baby. " (if you`re married) take a look. "
Look. Look. Let`s go.
