The ex-leader has another child, a daughter, from an extramarital affair.
London:
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has become a father again, his wife Carrie said on Tuesday, with the couple’s third child and the ex-leader’s eighth, born on July 5.
“Welcome to the world Frank Alfred Odysseus Johnson, born July 5 at 9:15 am,” Carrie Johnson wrote on her Instagram page, accompanied by a photo of her holding her new baby.
She joked “can you guess what name my husband chose?!” in reference to Johnson’s well-known love of ancient Greek myths.
“I love every minute of the sleepy baby bubble. It was amazing to see my eldest two hug their new brother with such joy and excitement. We are all very much in love,” she added.
Their first son Wilfred was born in April 2020, not long after Johnson was treated for Covid in the hospital’s intensive care unit.
Daughter Romy then arrived in December 2021, again when Johnson was still Prime Minister of Great Britain.
He was ousted the following summer, amid an uprising within his ruling Conservatives following a series of scandals, including partying to break the Downing Street lockdown.
Johnson, 59, stepped down as a Tory lawmaker last month after MPs discovered he had lied to parliament about his knowledge of the parties.
Johnson, who has been married three times, has four children from his second marriage to lawyer Marina Wheeler, and now has three with Carrie, 35, a former Conservative Party media consultant whom he married two years ago.
The ex-leader has another child, a daughter, from an extramarital affair.
In September 2021, before Romy’s birth and after years of speculation about how many children he had, Johnson confirmed in an interview to the American TV network NBC that he had six at the time.
