When Australia’s new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese took the stage on the night of 21st May to declare victory, there were two persons next to him who stole the show: his 21-year-old son, Nathan, and his girlfriend of two years, Jodie Haydon. 

During his victory speech, Mr Anthony thanked his partner for coming into his life and for sharing this journey with him. Since then, Jodie has been sky-high in the internet.

While there’s still time to see how Jodie Haydon will adapt to her new role as Australia’s ‘First Lady,’ let’s know everything about her.

Who is Jodie Haydon?

Jodie Haydon is a 43-year-old Australia’s new ‘First Lady’ after her partner of two years, Anthony Albanese, claimed victory in the federal election.

In addition to being the ‘First Lady,’ she’ll continue her work as a woman’s officer for the NSW Public Service Association; the role which she took in February 2022. Before she was a strategic partnership manager for an industry superannuation fund.

Jodie is also working in pursuit of change for women. Earlier this year, the University dropout criticised Scott Morrison over women’s safety in the workplace.

Born in Bankstown, Sydney, Jodie grew up on the beaches, BMX tracks, and netball courts of the NSW Central Coast.

Later, Anthony introduced himself to Jodie and learned that she lived in his electorate. The two eventually ended to have a drink at the Young Henrys brewery in Newton. Though neither was looking for a relationship at the time, they couldn’t stop themselves from falling for each other.

The couple went public with a lovely photoshoot and accompanying feature in the March edition of The Australian Women’s Weekly. 

Is Jodie Haydon married to Anthony Albanese?

Though Jodie has been in a relationship with Anthony for two years now, the two have yet to tie the knot. Howbeit, they might get married anytime soon.

Jodie and Mr Albanese will be only the second unmarried pair to be handed the keys to the Prime Minister’s residences after Julia Gillard and her partner Tim Mathieson in 2013.
