Carrie Johnson has announced the birth of her and Boris’s third child, a boy called Frank.
The former prime minister and his wife already have two children together: Romy, aged one, and Wilfred, aged three.
The baby was born last week.
Carrie wrote: “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”.
The child is thought to be Boris’s eighth with the former London mayor having had four with his ex-wife and one with a mistress.
Asked by LBC’s Nick Ferrari in 2019, before his children with Carrie, how many children he was father to, Mr Johnson replied: “I love my children very much but they are not standing at this election.
“I am not going to put them onto the pitch in their election campaign when I think what people want to hear is what my plans are for the country, what this government is determined to do and how we are going to take this country forward.
“That is the way all parties should be judged.”
