Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli sent well wishes to US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg as he and his husband Chasten Buttigieg welcomed two children last week.

"Congratulations to my @USDOT counterpart @PeteButtigieg on the wonderful additions to your family. Wishing you all much joy and happiness. @SecretaryPete," said Michaeli on Twitter Sunday.

Michaeli and her partner, comedian Lior Schleien, announced last month that they are the new parents of a son delivered by a surrogate mother in the United States.
