Clearly keen to move on,Ardern attempted to quash the line of questioning by emphasising that the"election was done,over"before the baby's conception date.
In another segment,Wooley went out fishing with Gayford,seemingly only to allow him to make the suggestion that"Jacinda was the catch of the day".
The line of questioning in Sunday night's 60 Minutes Australia interview at times appeared to leave Jacinda Ardern visibly uncomfortable
Spending as much time talking to the other man in Ardern's life,Winston Peters,as Gayford,Wooley lavished praise on his main subject,highlighting her"no fuss,can do attitude",her ability to"handle delicate relations with New Zealand's'first nations'people".
Arden throughout the report handled herself with an honest pride and astonishment at her achievements - including the changes made in 100 days of governing,shown through her video post to social media - and reportedly had no issues with the interview.
"In its 40 years on-air,60 Minutes has always been renowned for its political interviews conducted without fear or favour,"a Nine spokesman responded.
"In interviews with various world leaders including Bob Hawke,Margaret Thatcher and current Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull,60 Minutes reporters have always asked the tough questions which the public has been wanting to hear,while also showing the human side of these individuals that we rarely get to see.
"Charles Wooley came away from his interview with Jacinda Ardern in awe of her poise,intelligence and everyday charm,which was reflected in the full story."
Queensland-based Australian radio host Reg Roberts was one of many across the Tasman who expressed their outrage at the segment.
He posted on Twitter:"Was interested in the Jacinda Ardern interview on60 Minutes,but he[Charles Wooley] made it cringeworthy."
NZ Herald columnist Steve Braunias wrote:"Wooley is so incredibly and relentlessly creepy.
"It ought to come with an R18 certificate. It ought to come with a sickbag too. Only those of strong constitution will be able stop themselves throwing up a stream of vomit that could travel the entire ditch between here and Australia,"he wrote in an opinion piece on Monday.
Social media users slammed it as"repugnant"and"absolutely cringeworthy".
"Commenting on Jacinda Ardern's level of attractiveness doesn't seem to be at all relevant to her ability as a nation's leader,"one Twitter user wrote.
"Charles Wooley interviewing Jacinda Ardern on 60 Minutes would have to go down as the most patronising interview for a long time,"another added.
