Prime Minister Boris Johnson and wife Carrie
have announced the birth of a healthy girl child at a London Hospital today.
According to sources, their spokesperson has
stated, “The prime minister and Mrs. Johnson are delighted to announce the birth
of a healthy baby girl at a London hospital earlier today.
“Both mother and daughter are doing very
well. The couple would like to thank the brilliant NHS maternity team for all
their care and support.”
This is the couple’s second child. Carrie
gave birth to their first child, son Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson, in April
2020. In 2019, Johnson was living with Carrie Symonds, the daughter
of Matthew Symonds, co-founder of The Independent newspaper.
Symonds had worked for the Conservative party since 2009 and worked on
Johnson's 2012 campaign to be re-elected as Mayor. On 29 February
2020, Johnson and Symonds announced they had become engaged in late 2019, and
that Symonds was expecting a baby in early summer. Their son, Wilfred
Lawrie Nicholas Johnson, was born on 29 April 2020 at University
College Hospital in London.
