Australian Prime Minister engaged

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, 60, announced his engagement to girlfriend Jodie Haydon after 4 years of dating.

"She accepted my proposal," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese posted on social media today, along with a red heart emoji and a selfie with his girlfriend.

The photo appears to have been taken on Valentine's Day, February 14. Haydon is wearing an emerald green outfit and has his hand on Mr Albanese's chest, his ring finger sporting an engagement ring. The Australian Prime Minister is wearing a light blue shirt and his face is radiant.

Mr Albanese is the first Australian Prime Minister to get engaged while in office.

ABC television reported that Mr Albanese met his girlfriend Haydon at a dinner in Melbourne in 2020. Ms Haydon has accompanied Mr Albanese on several official trips, including a visit to the US in October 2023.

"Love is a beautiful thing. I'm so happy for you two!", Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said. Australian politicians and British celebrity chef Nigella Lawson were also quick to send their congratulations.

Some critics of the Australian Prime Minister say his engagement announcement is intended to divert attention from pressing issues, including the war in the Gaza Strip.

Mr Albanese joined the Labor Party in high school and later became deeply involved in student politics at the University of Sydney. He was sworn in as prime minister in May 2022.

He grew up living in public housing with his single mother, Maryanne Ellery, in Sydney. In his first speech after being elected to parliament in 1996, he thanked his mother for raising him in difficult circumstances.
