Anthony Albanese postpones wedding to Jodie Haydon – as drama grips PM months before next election
- Anthony Albanese postpones wedding to Jodie Haydon
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has decided to postpone his wedding to his fiancée Jodie Haydon.
While insiders predicted the 61-year-old prime minister would use his upcoming wedding to woo undecided voters in the next federal election, it has been revealed that Albanese will instead focus entirely on winning a second term.
The decision may come as a surprise to those close to the couple, as Mrs Haydon has an elderly grandmother who is keen to attend the event.
However, it is understood Albanese’s wedding to Haydon, 45, was seen as too much of a distraction amid growing concerns over a close election outcome.
They were also reportedly concerned about the increased scrutiny just before the elections and feared that Albanian would not be able to fit the desired festivities into his agenda.
The couple, who got engaged in February, are likely to marry in the second half of 2025.
Australia’s next federal election is due no later than May 2025, but Albanese has repeatedly denied he would call an early election before the end of this year.
More coming soon.
