Boris Johnson and wife Carrie are expecting their second child, with the happy news coming just two months after they became husband and wife.
Mrs Johnson, 33, confirmed her pregnancy via Instagram, saying she had a miscarriage at the start of the year and feels ‘incredibly blessed to be pregnant again but adding: ‘I’ve also felt like a bag of nerves’.
‘Fertility issues can be really hard for many people, particularly when on platforms like Instagram it can look like everything is only ever going well,’ she said on the post, which featured a picture of a small pram.
‘I found it a real comfort to hear from people who had also experienced loss so I hope that in some very small way sharing this might help others too.’
Mrs Johnson hinted that the baby was due before Christmas – saying they were ‘hoping for our rainbow baby’ in time for the festive season.
How many children does Boris Johnson have?
Johnson is believed to already be a father-of-six, meaning the forthcoming new addition to the family will be his seventh child.
Lara Lettice, 26, is the former couple’s eldest child and works as a writer and broadcaster. After her parents’ marriage came to an end, she was reported to have called her dad a ‘selfish b*****d’ and declared that her mum would ‘never take him back’.
She recently posed for Tatler magazine in a photoshoot to highlight body positivity post-lockdown.
Milo Arthur, 24, is their second oldest child and the oldest of Johnson’s sons. He graduated from London’s School of Oriental and African Studies in 2014 and speaks Arabic, Russian and French.
Johnson is then father to Cassie Peaches, 22, who has also completed work as a writer, having previously been student editor of Highgate School’s alumni magazine, Cholmeleian.
Theodore Apollo, 20, is the youngest of Johnson and Ms Wheeler’s children, and is currently studying at Cambridge University.
Johnson’s fifth child is Stephanie, who was born to art advisor Helen Macintyre in 2009, after the pair had an affair while he was still married to Ms Wheeler.
The PM previously denied being Stephanie’s father, until a court battle in 2013 revealed he had sought an injunction to prevent knowledge her existence being reported in the media.
Lawyers for the Daily Mail had argued it was in the public interest, as it was an ‘issue of recklessness and whether on that account he was fit for public office’. Johnson and his four oldest children are not believed to be involved in Stephanie’s life.
Since then, the PM has famously gone on to dodge questions about how many children he has. During campaigning for the General Election in December, he was asked by LBC journalist Nick Ferrari how many children he had, and whether he was ‘fully involved in their lives’.
At the time, Johnson responded: ‘I don’t think this is what the nation wants to hear! The nation wants to hear how we are going to deliver Brexit.’
The PM’s first child with Mrs Johnson, Wilfred, was born in April 2020 – less than a month after the Prime Minister was treated in hospital for Covid-19.
The couple gave their first son the middle name Nicholas as a tribute to two NHS doctors, Dr Nick Price and Dr Nick Hart, who ‘saved Boris’ life’ after he was admitted to intensive care with the virus.
