• Jacinda Ardern said she plans to marry her partner during the Southern Hemisphere's summer.

• The couple announced their engagement two years ago, and they have a child together.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced plans to marry her partner, Clarke Gayford, during the southern hemisphere's summer.

Ardern spoke about her plans to the TV and radio presenter on Wednesday, but wouldn't give a specific date.

"When I say we've got a date, that doesn't mean we've actually told anyone yet," she said.

"So, I feel like we should probably put some invites out."

But she said it would be during the Southern Hemisphere's summer, which runs between December and February.

The couple announced that they were engaged two years ago.

They have a two-year-old child together. The Associated Press noted that Ardern was the second elected world leader in modern history to give birth while in office.
