The former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, is going to become a father for the eighth time. The good news was shared by his wife, Carrie Johnson, who is pregnant with the couple’s third child.

Taking to Instagram, Carrie said: “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. Wilf is [very] excited about being a big brother again, and has been chattering about it non-stop. Don’t think Romy has a clue what’s coming… She soon will!”

The couple has two other children together. The couple got engaged in 2019. They welcomed their first child in April 2020, who is a son named Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson. They got married at Westminster Cathedral in May 2021. She was pregnant at the time of their wedding.

In July 2021, Carrie revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage earlier in the year, and felt “incredibly blessed to be pregnant again. At the beginning of the year, I had a miscarriage which left me heartbroken,” she wrote. “I feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant again but I’ve also felt like a bag of nerves.”

She said she was glad she got to talk to others who related to her situation. “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.

In December 2021, Boris and his wife Carrie welcomed their second child, a daughter named Romy Iris Charlotte Johnson.

John also shared four children with his second wife, Marina Wheeler, from whom he separated in 2018. They are Lara Lettice, 27, Milo Arthur, 25, Cassia Peaches, 23, and Theodore Apollo, 21.

Boris also has a fifth child, Stephanie Macintyre, who is a result of an affair with art consultant Helen Macintyre.

The exact number of kids that Johnson has is not known for sure. According to an Appeal Court ruling in 2013, it was alleged that Stephanie was one of two children to come out of Boris’ affair.

Boris’ children mostly prefer to stay out of the limelight.
