Hipkins announces engagement – says he’s “hit the jackpot”

Labour leader Chris Hipkins has revealed he’s engaged to partner Toni Grace, sharing the news with a claim he had hit the “jackpot” on Instagram.

Hipkins, who first confirmed the relationship in his 2023 election concession speech, praised Grace for her steady support through the chaos of politics, parenting, and everyday life.



Calling her his “rock,” he said he feels incredibly fortunate she’s agreed to marry him.

  1. Has she been previously married?
    Or put more explicitly was she a virgin surmising the relationship has been consummated
    Reminds me of a movie
    “Bad Taste”

  2. ‘Hit the Jackpot’???
    Imagine the chaos this man could inflict on the country if he had won the $55 million this past Saturday!
    Don’t scare us with associating him with any sort or type of ..’jackpot’!
