Boris Johnson and pregnant Carrie expecting second baby after miscarriage heartbreak

Boris Johnson and wife Carrie are expecting a second child, Mrs Johnson has revealed.

In an Instagram post, Mrs Johnson, 33, said she is expecting a December birth.

And she revealed she suffered a miscarriage at the beginning of the year, which left her "heartbroken."

She wrote: "I feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant again but I've also felt like a bag of nerves.

"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 experience loss so I hope that in some small way sharing this might help others, too."

The couple welcomed their first child, Wilfred, in April 2020 - shortly after Mr Johnson, 57 was released from intensive care after suffering from Covid-19.

Father-of-six Boris wed Carrie Symonds in a secret ceremony in Westminster in May - becoming the first PM to marry while in office for two centuries.

The ceremony at Westminster Cathedral, less than two miles from Downing Street, was the culmination of a six month "cloak and dagger" operation, insiders claim.

So secretive were the plans that even senior members of staff in Mr Johnson's office were kept in the dark about the event.

The 56-year-old PM and his 33-year-old bride were only allowed to invite 30 guests thanks to Covid regulations, having opted - unlike thousands of other couples across the UK - not to put their nuptials back.

She wore a £2,870 gown by Greek-based luxury designer Christos Costarellos.

Wilfred was pictured enjoying beach time with mum Carrie and First Lady Dr Jill Biden during last month's G7 summit - revealing that at just 13 months old he had already inherited his father's mop of blonde hair.
