Carrie Johnson, wife of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has given birth to their third child. The couple announced the arrival of their baby boy, who was born on July 5th - and also revealed his strikingly unusual name.
Carrie, 35, surprised her followers on Instagram in May 2023 when she revealed her pregnancy. She shared that she was already eight months pregnant at the time and that the baby could arrive "in just a few weeks." The couple already has two children together: Wilfred, born in April 2020, and Romy, born in December 2021.
In an Instagram post, Carrie introduced their newborn son and shared a photo of herself holding him. She also revealed his unique name: Frank Alfred Odysseus Johnson.
She posted: "Welcome to the world Frank Alfred Odysseus Johnson born 5th July at 9.15am. (Can you guess which name my husband chose?!)
"Am loving every minute of the sleepy baby bubble. Seeing my older two embrace their new brother with such joy and excitement has been the most wonderful thing to see. We are all very smitten.
"Thank you so much to the incredible NHS maternity team at UCLH. They really are the most amazing, caring people. I feel such immense gratitude. Now, can anyone recommend any good series/box sets to binge while breastfeeding? Time for a drink."
Last week, Mirror Online reports, Carrie shared a series of photos on Instagram, showcasing her baby bump during a country walk with Wilfred and Romy. The couple has been enjoying the anticipation of their new arrival, and Carrie expressed her gratitude for the calm moments before the "real fun begins."
This is believed to be at least the eighth child for the former Prime Minister.
Mr Johnson, 59, has fathered children from previous relationships. He has four children with his ex-wife Marina Wheeler and another child from an affair in 2009 with arts consultant Helen McIntyre.
Carrie and Boris Johnson tied the knot in a secret ceremony at Westminster Cathedral in 2021. The couple got engaged in late 2019.
