A year ago, Jacinda Ardern was making headlines as our new Prime Minister. She was also newly pregnant. Now, a year into her job running the country while also becoming a first-time mum, she talks exclusively to Emma Clifton about making history, finding balance in life, and her gratitude for the support of others.
This time last year Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was one of only a handful of people who knew just how historic 2018 was going to be for her. Her prime ministership was already a big deal – she was the second youngest world leader and one of only 10 female heads of government.
So the eyes of the world were already on her. But she knew the glare of that spotlight was only going to get bigger. Because last Christmas, Jacinda was pregnant with her first child – and was going to be one of only two female political leaders, ever, to give birth while in office.
“At that point, no one else knew,” Jacinda says of her pregnancy last Christmas. Keeping the secret at such a family time of year wasn’t easy, but the good news was her morning sickness had finally started to pass. “I’d felt sick for a long time, so it was great to have a little bit of time out and also feel good again. But this year is going to be a little different. We’ve got an extra member of our family, and I’m not holding any secrets!”
