Bundle of Joyce

DEPUTY Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce is expecting a baby with a former staff member.

Mr Joyce has refused to comment on his relationship with ex-journalist Vikki Campion, 33, since it emerged last year that his decades-long marriage to Natalie Joyce, the mother of his four kids, had broken down.

But friends say the new couple, who are living together, are “madly in love”.

Ms Campionis due to give birth about April. She left Mr Joyce’s office in April last year to work for one of his closest colleagues, Matt Canavan.
