Does Grant Robertson Have Kids?
He met his partner Alf in 1998 while playing rugby and their family now includes four grandchildren. In 2009 they were joined in a civil union. In his maiden statement (given on 9 December 2008), Robertson alluded to his sexuality as a part, but not the whole, of his identity.
The love birds met each other at New Zealand’s first gay rugby team, Krazy Knights, where they used to play rugby. They were in a relationship for over 10 years. Finally, the couple tied their know in January 2009 at Old St Paul’s in Wellington as per the press reader.
In late 2006, sitting MP for Wellington Central Marian Hobbs announced that she would be retiring at the 2008 general election. Robertson was considered to be a front-runner and was subsequently selected unopposed.
