Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern welcomes baby girl
The Prime Minister’s Office can confirm that Jacinda Ardern has given birth to a healthy baby girl.
The baby was born at 4.45pm Tuesday June 21 2018 at Auckland Public Hospital. She weighs 3.31 kgs.
The child is the first for Jacinda Ardern and her partner Clarke Gayford.
“I’m sure we’re going through all of the emotions new parents go through, but at the same time feeling so grateful for
all the kindness and best wishes from so many people. Thank you,” Jacinda Ardern said.
Both mum and the baby are doing well.
The Prime Minister’s office will announce later when the family is due to leave hospital.
