Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has married long-time partner Jodie Haydon in a private ceremony at his official home in Canberra.

The 62-year-old took to his official Facebook and Twitter pages to share the happy news – posting a short video capturing the moment he and the woman who is now his wife walked down the aisle, hand-in-hand as friends and family showered them with cheers and white confetti.

Albanese simply captioned the video with a red heart and two ring emojis.

“Well done,” the blushing bride – dressed in a traditional, long-sleeved, white gown – can be heard saying to her husband as they near the end of the aisle.

Albanese, looking dapper in a navy blue jacket and bow tie, is all smiles as there are loud “whoops” and cheers from guests.

His adult son, Nathan Albanese, can be seen at the top of the aisle, possibly acting as best man to his dad on his big day.

It is understood the couple, who announced their engagement on Valentine’s Day last year, married at the Prime Minister’s official residence at The Lodge, in Canberra.

Secrecy has surrounded exactly when the pair would get married, with the only hint being that it would happen before the end of 2025, according to local media.
