Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hints on possible wedding date with fiancee Jodie Hayden

Anthony Albanese has settled on a timeframe for his wedding, the first marriage by a prime minister while in office.

Anthony Albanese has revealed his upcoming wedding to fiancee Jodie Haydon may be as soon as this year.

While the Prime Minister confirmed a specific date has not yet been locked in, he said wedding plans had come to the forefront now the election was over.

It will be the first marriage by a prime minister while in office.

“We have now had an opportunity to discuss, and we have a few options between now and the end of the year,” Mr Albanese said on Tuesday.

“But we’re waiting as well to look at the calendar.

“I deliberately did not get ahead of myself, so from May 3 and beyond, there was a blank diary.”

Mr Albanese said if Labor had lost the May 3 election, the pair would have taken a two-month honeymoon.

Following the epic victory, they would now settle for a shorter trip instead.

“We’re trying to find a couple of weeks,” he told ABC Radio.

“I reckon the Australian people will go ‘fair enough’.”

Mr Albanese met Ms Haydon in 2020, a year after splitting from former Labor MP and NSW deputy premier Carmel Tebbutt.

Left “emotionally bruised” by the ending of his almost 20-year marriage, he took some time off to recover and travelled to London and Lisbon to see friends and determine what his future looked like.

A year later, at an event in Melbourne, he asked if there were any South Sydney NRL fans in the audience – to which Ms Haydon yelled out, “Up the Rabbitohs”.

The couple went on their first date at the Young Henry’s brewery in Newtown and four years later are ready to lock things down.

Mr Albanese popped the question at The Lodge after a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner in 2024.

He told media at the time that the couple “couldn’t be more happy”.

“It’s such a joy to be able to share this news with people, and it’s wonderful that I’ve found a partner who I want to spend the rest of my life with,” he said.
