Proposing on Valentine’s Day, Albanese becomes Australia’s first leader to get engaged in office

Associated Press  

MELBOURNE, Australia — Anthony Albanese has become the first Australian prime minister to get engaged while in office, revealing Thursday that his partner accepted his marriage proposal on Valentine’s Day. The first-term prime minister said he had planned both the date and place of the proposal and even helped design Haydon’s diamond ring. Opposition leader Peter Dutton offered Albanese lighthearted congratulations in Parliament, hinting at their differences over whether King Charles III should remain Australia’s head of state. In neighboring New Zealand, former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern married longtime partner Clarke Gayford in January after becoming engaged while she was in office almost five years earlier.
