UK PM Johnson becomes father of baby boy

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his fiancee Carrie Symonds have announced the birth of their son.

A spokeswoman for Johnson and his partner said both mother and baby are "doing very well".

It is understood Johnson, who has just recovered from coronavirus, was present throughout the birth, which took place in an NHS hospital in London.

"The PM Johnson and Ms Symonds would like to thank the fantastic NHS maternity team," the spokeswoman added.

Mr Johnson, 55, and Ms Symonds, 32, announced in March that they were expecting a baby in "early summer", and that they had become engaged at the end of last year. _BBC
