Dutch prime minister expecting first child via surrogate mother

Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten said on Monday that he and his partner were expecting their first ​child, with the assistance of a surrogate mother ‌and an egg donor.
"Someone very special is on the way. See you in 2027, little one," Jetten posted on his personal Instagram account, adding ​emoticons of a baby's head and a bottle.

"There ​are no words big enough to thank our egg ⁠donor, our surrogate mum and both their families. None ​of this would be possible without you," he said.

Jetten is ​engaged to Argentine field hockey international Nicolas Keenan. The couple had been planning to get married this summer, but postponed their wedding shortly ​after Jetten became prime minister this year.
Jetten, 39, became ​the youngest prime minister in Dutch history after his D66 party's unexpected election victory ‌a ⁠year ago.
The surrogate mother and egg donor are Dutch friends of the couple who already have children of their own, and who had no commercial motives for helping them, D66 ​said in ​a statement on ⁠its website.
