After last year having a child while in office, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced she's also getting married.
Ms Ardern, 38, and longtime partner Clarke Gayford, 41, became engaged while on holiday in the North Island over the Easter break, a spokesman for her office confirmed on Friday.
No wedding date has, however, been announced and they've declined requests for further comment.

The couple first met in 2012 and had their first child, Neve Te Aroha Ardern Gayford, in June last year.
Dubbed New Zealand's "first bloke", Mr Gayford hosts a television fishing show and has taken on the role of stay-at-home dad since Ms Ardern returned to parliament after a six-week maternity leave.
The prime minister's pregnancy last year made her a role model as only the second-ever elected female leader to have a child while in office - after Pakistan's Benazir Bhutto - although she played the milestone down, saying she was not the "first woman to multi-task".

Asked earlier this year whether she could consider proposing to Mr Gayford, she told the BBC she was a feminist but wanted to put Mr Gayford "through the pain and torture of having to agonise about that question himself".
New Zealand media were on Friday scouring photos of Ardern, pointing out she had been wearing a ring on her left hand since Easter but on her middle finger.
