"Finally": Jacinda Ardern announces wedding date
<p>New Zealand Prime Minister has finally announced when she's getting married to her fiance Clarke Gayford after two and a half years of engagement.</p>
<p>Ardern, 40, revealed on<span> </span><em>Coast Radio</em><span> </span>that the happy couple would finally get married.</p>
<p>“We have finally got a date. Finally,” she joked, but declined to reveal the specific date, hinting it would be "this coming summer".</p>
<p>“When I say we’ve got a date, that doesn’t mean we’ve told anyone yet. I feel like we should probably put some invites out!”</p>
<p>Ardern usually keeps a tight lid on her private life, declining all internationally-based media requests and only doing a few Australian media appearances about the trans-Tasman travel bubble.</p>
<p>She spoke to Kiwi magazine<span> </span><em>Thrive</em><span> </span>about how much her fiance helps her with their daughter Neve.</p>

<p>“Thank God Clarke is a morning person,” Ardern said to<span> </span><em>Thrive</em>.</p>
<p>“I don’t think I’ve talked about this before but he has consistently been the night and morning person for our daughter.</p>
<p>“He will bring me a cup of tea every morning without fail. Which sounds like its a little thing but it’s not.</p>
<p>“He’ll make me breakfast if I’m in a rush. He checks I’ve eaten before I’ve gone out the door and he checks in on my day.</p>
<p>“He knows the bits I find hard and he’ll send a nice little text before I go into it. He’s always thinking of me.”</p>
<p>Gayford is a television and radio personality who hosts the fishing program<span> </span><em>Fish of The Day</em><span> </span>and is Neve's primary caregiver as mum Ardern runs New Zealand.</p>
