It’s Insta official between Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway​ and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

Hathaway​, a goodwill ambassador for UN Women, met with Ardern last week during UN Leaders Week, to discuss pay equity, parental leave and creating family friendly workplaces.

The actor had requested the meeting with Ardern, while the prime minister was in New York. But on Instagram, Hathaway revealed: “I also got to meet her daughter Neve!”

A week after their meeting, Hathaway​ shared photos from the day, in a #FBF (flashback Friday) post. 

“I had the honour of speaking with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand with my incredible UN Women bosses Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka and Elizabeth Nyamayaro,” she wrote in the Instagram post.

Her album started with a photo of Ardern and the actor looking at Neve. The post had almost 200,000 reactions.

Hathaway​ congratulated Ardern for increasing paid parental leave. She called the initiative “exciting and necessary”. 

Before their meeting, Ardern said she was excited to meet the star.

“I’m very familiar with her work and very excited to have a chance to discuss mutual interest particularly around family policies and children’s policies and pleased that she’s just recognised the work New Zealand has done over successive number of years to lift the wellbeing of kids and families,” she said.

During Hathaway’s speech at the UN commemoration of International Women’s Day in March, she pushed for better standards of paid parental leave across the globe.

“Paid parental leave is not about taking days off work; it is about creating freedom to define roles, to choose how to invest time, and to establish new, positive cycles of behaviour,” she said.
