Hipkins denies serious claims by ex-wife in deleted Facebook post

Jade Paul makes claims against Chris Hipkins on Facebook

Labour leader Chris Hipkins has rejected serious claims made about him on social media by his former wife in a now-deleted Facebook post.

In a statement issued on Monday, Hipkins said he “reject[s] the allegations entirely” and indicated he did not intend to comment further, while it is understood he is seeking legal advice over the matter.

Jade Paul, who was married to Hipkins in 2020 and shares two children with him, later told legacy media she stood by what she had written despite deleting the original post, though screenshots of it are circulating widely on social media.



Hipkins publicly confirmed their separation after becoming Prime Minister in 2023, and later introduced his current partner, Toni Grace, during his 2023 election night concession speech, before announcing their engagement late last year.

  1. Hipkins is a full fledged liar, coward and spineless creep. I will never understand why”Labourites” think that man is worthy to be PM. He’s too spineless to be transparent about all his faults and wrong doings, esp with vaccines and the lockdown.

  2. Why anyone would vote for this guy, Labour or for that matter, National is beyond me. Would have been interested to see what his ex had to say.

  3. None of the allegations surprise me. Sounds exactly like how he has acted as a cabinet minister and leader of the opposition.

    Hopefully more revelations to come about the smug p rick. Flush both the Chris’s away
