Anthony Albanese’s fiancée Jodie Haydon reveals wedding detail, Aussies wait for Prime Minister to pick date
As Australia waits for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to pick a date for the federal election, his partner Jodie Haydon has revealed details about another important date, their wedding.
Ms Haydon revealed the wedding will not be before the election, but will be “this year”.
“Our wedding will be a moment when we make that commitment,” Ms Haydon told the Australian Woman’s Weekly.

“It will be small, intimate,” she added.
Although not announcing the date, Ms Haydon indicated Spring is a strong possibility for a “small, intimate” ceremony.
“Possibly outdoors, in the second half of this year, with our family and loved ones … And you can be sure Toto will make an appearance.”
Ms Haydon said her admiration for her partner, Mr Albanese, had grown since they got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2024.
“As we go through this journey, I find more reasons to admire him. He works harder than anyone I know and still invests in our relationship every day. I’ve never felt more loved.”
While the couple may have been comparing diaries to pick the important date, Mr Albanese’s availability remains a little unclear as the Prime Minister needs to head to the 2025 election within weeks.
The date for the 2025 election remains unclear, however, with the first interest rate cut since 2020 delivered to Australians on Tuesday, some political commentators believe the PM could ride the wave of interest rate cut euphoria in a cost-of-living crisis and call an early election.
Mr Albanese downplayed those suggestions on Tuesday.
The PM remained coy about when Australians would head to the polls.
“This won’t have an impact on the timing of the election,” he said.
The election must held by May 17.
The prime minister said preparations were still being made for a federal budget, which is slated to be handed down on March 25.
However, the budget could be scrapped should an election be called before that date.
“I’m certainly not getting ahead of myself, unlike (Opposition Leader) Peter Dutton, who seems to be measuring up the curtains.”
