Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie Johnson have welcomed their fourth child together, daughter Poppy Eliza Josephine Johnson. Mrs Johnson told her Instagram followers the news with a video posted on Saturday (24 May), revealing that Poppy had been born three days ago. 'I can't believe how pretty and tiny you are. Feel so incredibly lucky,' she said. We are all totally smitten. Not sure I've slept a minute since you were born as can't stop looking at how completely lovely you are.' Mrs Johnson continued to thank the maternity team at University College London Hospitals, in particular 'Asma and Patrick', who 'have looked after me so well through all my pregnancies. I really cannot thank you guys enough.' In 2023, the Johnsons announced the birth of their third child, a son named Frank Alfred Odysseus Johnson.
Carrie again shared the news on Instagram, where she revealed that she'd given birth on 5 July 2023 at 9.15am and shared several photos of the newborn. In the caption of the photo, the former political activist revealed the name the couple had chosen, while joking about the middle name her husband picked out for their newborn son. She wrote: 'A week of Frankie. Welcome to the world Frank Alfred Odysseus Johnson born 5 July at 9.15am. (Can you guess which name my husband chose?!)
She first revealed the news that they were expecting their third child by writing on Instagram: 'New team member arriving in just a few weeks. I've felt pretty exhausted for much of the last eight months but we can't wait to meet this little one.' Boris Johnson was previously leader of the Conservative Party and won the general election as leader in December 2019. While he dealt with Brexit and the pandemic during his tenure, there were several developments in her personal life too, including marrying Carrie Johnson (nee Symonds ) and having two children together. In December 2021, Boris Johnson and Carrie welcomed their second child. They announced the birth of a 'healthy baby girl' at a London hospital on 9 December and later revealed that they named her Romy Iris Charlotte Johnson.
A spokesperson for the couple said at the time: '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.' In July 2021, following the pregnancy announcement, Carrie revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage earlier in the year, and felt 'incredibly blessed to be pregnant again'.
Opening up about her miscarriage, Carrie said she had found comfort in speaking to others who had also experienced a similar loss. '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.'
'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,' she said. The couple were engaged in late 2019 and welcomed their first child, a son named Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson, in April 2020. They married in an intimate wedding ceremony at Westminster Cathedral in May 2021. While the baby girl was Carrie's second child, Boris is more familiar with the experience of parenthood. During his resignation speech, Boris thanked Carrie and 'all of my children'. However the exact number of offspring the former prime minister has remains unclear.
It is believed that the former prime minister has nine children, however, he has not officially confirmed the exact number. What is known is that Boris and his second wife, Marina Wheeler, who separated in 2018, have four children together: Lara Lettice, 27, Milo Arthur, 25, Cassia Peaches, 23, and Theodore Apollo, 21.Boris also has a fifth child, Stephanie Macintyre, who was fathered as a result of an affair with art consultant Helen Macintyre. The Appeal Court ruled in 2013 that the public had a right to know that he had fathered a daughter during an adulterous liaison while Mayor of London in 2009.
