Former New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern ties knot

AGENCY: Jacinda Ardern, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand and her partner Clarke Gayford got married on Saturday.

The small-scale event, graced by family, friends, and select political colleagues, unfolded in Hawke’s Bay, North Island, with heightened security measures in place.

Notable attendees included former Prime Minister Chris Hipkins.

After nearly five years of engagement, Ardern and Gayford decided to proceed with the wedding, having postponed their plans in 2022 due to pandemic-related gathering restrictions.
