April 29, 2020 Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds have announced the birth of their firstborn. Came to light "in a London hospital early in the morning". The boy "is in excellent health, as well as his mother," said a spokeswoman for Downing Street. According to the BBC, the prime minister witnessed the birth. The birth of Boris Johnson's son and his girlfriend Carrie Symonds comes by surprise: the future parents announced in March that they were pregnant. Therefore, the happy event was scheduled "for early summer".

The spokeswoman also stressed that the couple thanked the excellent assistance from the hospital's maternity ward staff. A very emotional period for Boris Johnson, 55, who has just recovered from a serious form of coronavirus that had forced him to a week in hospital, including three nights in intensive care. Carrie Symonds, the 32-year-old fiancée, also had symptoms of the disease but had no major consequences. Johnson and Symonds are the first couple to live under the same roof on Downing Street without being married. But soon they should fix it. In March, in addition to the arrival of a son, they had announced their engagement, which took place at the end of 2019. Now the next step will be orange blossom.
