Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese married his partner Jodie Haydon on Saturday, becoming the first sitting leader in the country to wed while in office.
The ceremony took place in Canberra following the final parliamentary sitting of the year.
“We are absolutely delighted to share our love and commitment to spending our future lives together, in front of our family and closest friends,” Albanese said in a statement quoted by the BBC.

Details of the event were kept confidential due to security considerations.
Albanese’s dog, Toto, served as ring bearer. Guests included Haydon’s parents and Albanese’s son from his previous marriage, according to media reports.
Albanese later shared images and video of the ceremony on social media, showing the couple walking down the aisle.
The couple are set to honeymoon in Australia from Monday and Friday next week - plans that were pared back after his re-election in May, reported BBC.
Albanese and Haydon first met during a business dinner in Melbourne in 2020.
Haydon accompanied him during the election campaigns in 2022 and 2025.
Posting photos and videos from the ceremony, Albanese wrote on X: “I love you, Jodie.”
