As the Daily Telegraph reports:
He told the party’s Bournemouth conference he will take time off when his wife Miriam Gonzalez Durantez gives birth. She is due in February.
Mr Clegg, 41, told delegates: “Yes I will take paternity leave, absolutely and unambiguously yes.”
Nick explains further in The Independent:
He said: “If I’m given a choice between spending an evening in a Westminster bar with other politicians or reading a book to my children, it’s a no-brainer.”
The Liberal Democrat leader added: “We are mothers and fathers before we are politicians. We’ve got a long way to humanise British politics.”

Will he be taking off a long period sharing his career sacrifice with his partner as he advocates for the rest of us . No , in his case of course it will be different .
Looks to me like what’s he’s doing is exactly what he advocates for others too.
