British Prime Minister’s Fiancée Gives Birth To Baby Boy

There is celebration at 10 Downing Street, official headquarter of the British government, the Prime Minister’s Fiancée, has just given birth to a new baby

The Prime Minister’s fiancée Carrie Symonds gave birth to the baby at a London hospital this morning..

The birth amidst increasing death toll by coronavirus came as a shock to many Britons it is weeks earlier than anticipated and just 16 days after the Prime Minister battled coronavirus in intensive care.

The couple had been largely apart until the weekend because both were self-isolating separately for weeks for coronavirus, reports The Mail Online.

Probably a moral to fathers, the prime minister was reportedly by the bedside of his 32-year-old fiancee’s throughout the labour.

The child is Carrie’s first and officially Boris’s sixth,

‘The Prime Minister and Ms Symonds are thrilled to announce the birth of a healthy baby boy at a London hospital earlier this morning. Both mother and baby are doing very well”, a spokemans announced early today, saying Johnson was appreciative of the hospital staff that assisted all through.  

The couple got engaged while holidaying on the exclusive Caribbean island of Mustique over the new year and announced they would marry and were having a baby on February 29, days after the PM’s divorce from Marina Wheeler was confirmed.

The birth came after an extraordinary month for the couple, who were self-isolating separately, first because of Carrie’s pregnancy and then when Boris fell ill. Mr Johnson then spent a week in hospital, including three days in intensive care, and Miss Symonds was also briefly bedridden with symptoms of Covid-19, but made a full recovery. They were only reunited last week at Chequers before she went into labour.

The PM was reported as saying that he  would ‘almost certainly’ take time off when Carrie Symonds gave birth, but fresh indications are that he would not until later in the year

Aside that Mr Johnson was reportedly by her side throughout the birth. She sent him scans of the baby while he was ill with coronavirus earlier this month to raise his spirits. 

Miss Symonds has been back living with Mr Johnson at Number 11 Downing Street as the Prime Minister leads the Government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

By implication, the Prime Minister now has at least six children, yet has not officially confirmed the exact number after leading what has been described as a tangled love life that has seen him married twice.

Boris and Marina married in 1993 before splitting in 2018. Divorce proceedings are now understood to have been concluded. Also, both marriages ended after he had affairs.

“It may seem extraordinary that the number of children a Prime Minister has is not public record, yet that is the situation.

What is known is that Mr Johnson and Marina Wheeler, who separated in 2018, have four children together: Lara Lettice, 26, Milo Arthur, 24, Cassia Peaches, 22, and Theodore Apollo, 20”, said the Mail report.

He also has a fifth child, Stephanie Macintyre, with art consultant Helen Macintyre. Stephanie is allegedly one of two children he fathered as a result of an affair.

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 – but also mentioned the possibility of a second baby.

It is not known if the Prime Minister has any more children – but his baby boy with Carrie Symonds is officially his sixth.

The 32-year-old former government adviser then joined Mr Johnson at the PM’s country home of Chequers in Buckinghamshire while he recovered from the virus.

The acrimonious split with Marina has caused tension between Mr Johnson and his children, who he asked to meet in person in February to tell them he was engaged to Carrie and they were having a baby.

But not all of his children reportedly turned up for their father’s announcement and are said to be ‘furious’ because they believe Carrie and Boris got together after an affair.
