New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is engaged to television host Clarke Gayford and they have a two-year-old daughter. Last year in November, Jacinda Ardern led her Labour Party to a landslide victory in the general election, cementing her second term in office.

When asked about her plans for the wedding, she had said, "We have some plans - they are some way off." "We might need to share some of our plans with our family and friends before we do that more widely."

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is 40 and her TV host boyfriend Clarke Gayford is 44.
