"Congratulations to my good friend, PM Anthony Albanese and Ms Jodie Haydon on their wedding. Wishing them a happy married life," Modi said in a post on X, responding to a post by Albanese.

Albanese married his partner Haydon in an intimate ceremony at his official residence in Canberra on Saturday.

Albanese became the first prime minister to marry while in office in the 124-year history of the federal government in Australia.

Albanese, 62, who is divorced with an adult son, proposed to Haydon, 46, at The Lodge on Valentine's Day last year.

Haydon, who works in finance, met Albanese at a business dinner in Melbourne in 2020.
