Stuff.co.nz: Green Party co-leader Russel Norman and his partner are to make Oscar-winning actress Anna Paquin an aunt.
Dr Norman said he and Katya Paquin were expecting a baby in February. They knew the sex and had decided on a name, but were keeping it under wraps.
It was the first child for both and they were excited but slightly nervous, he said.
Dr Norman, who is in his early 40s, said: « We’re first-time parents so we’re not experts in this business, but I’m the last of six children and I’ve got a lot of nieces and nephews so I am acutely aware of the commitment involved, the life changes. It’s very exciting, it’s a great thing. »
Their extended families were very excited to hear about the addition. « We haven’t done anything crazy but it’s certainly true that Trade Me has been getting some use.
« There’s lots of really nice, New Zealand-made organic baby stuff actually, it’s cool. »
Ms Paquin, 31, older sister of True Blood leading lady Anna, had also visited the Organic Baby store in Petone.
She had undergone treatment for a brain tumour but was now in good health, he said.
