Boris and Carrie KNEW their daughter was coming: The Prime Minister and his wife knew the gender after a second scan.

  • Carrie Johnson was certain she was carrying a girl since her second scan.
  • The Prime Minister’s spouse gave birth on Thursday to a baby girl in a London Hospital 
  • Boris Johnson will spend time with his family after the birth
  • Spokesman said Prime Minister played ‘unique role’ and would ‘continue to lead’










Carrie Johnson was aware that she was carrying a girl since her second scan. It emerged yesterday.

The PM’s wife, 33, gave birth to a ‘healthy baby girl’ at a London hospital yesterday – her second child with Boris Johnson, 57, and his seventh.

The couple announced they were expecting at the end of July, after Mrs Johnson described her ‘heartbreak’ following a miscarriage in early 2021. 

She has called the newborn their ‘rainbow baby’ – a term used by parents having a child after losing an infant to miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death.

It is the sign of beautiful things coming after storms. 

It also emerged that Mr Johnson will take time off work with his family, but not the two weeks’ paternity leave that he is entitled to.

His spokesman said the Prime Minister played a ‘unique role’ and would ‘continue to lead’ after introducing Covid restrictions on Wednesday. 

He is expected to continue to monitor his Red Box and will take part in Prime Minister’s Questions.

‘You can expect the Prime Minister to take some time with his family. As ever he has to balance that with his responsibilities as Prime Minister in leading the country, which he will continue to do,’ the spokesman said.

‘I think there’s a recognition the Prime Minister has a unique role and this is a particularly challenging time for the country and the Prime Minister will continue to lead, as the public would expect, while making time for his family.’ 

Asked how long that time off will be, his spokesman said: ‘I’m not setting a time limit on it.

‘He will spend some time with his new family and will continue to maintain his responsibilities as Prime Minister.’

The PM is entitled to take up to two weeks’ paid leave. 

Wilfred Johnson was born two weeks after Johnson had been admitted to ICU with coronavirus.

The man claimed that he wouldn’t take time off at the moment, and would do so at a later point, which isn’t believed to be true.
