Don’t you just love some news about the continuation of a political dynasty in the morning?
Chelsea Clinton – 34-year-old daughter of Bill and Hillary – and her husband investment banker Marc Mezvinsky sneakily announced at an event at the Lower Eastside Girls Club today that they were expecting their first child.
“Marc and I are very excited that we have our first child arriving later this year,” Chelsea said.
“Whether it’s a girl or a boy,” Chelsea said, recognising the importance of female role models for men and women, “she or he will grow up in a world full of so many strong, young female leaders.”
Hillary Clinton, 66, has previously joked in interviews (or joked but been secretly been completely serious) that she can’t wait for her first grandchild.
The Possible Future President, and her husband former President Bill Clinton, 67, tweeted their joy after the official announcement.
