Boris Johnson and Carrie welcome baby boy - with unusual middle name

Carrie Johnson and former Prime Minister Boris Johnson have welcomed their third child together into the world, and revealed the newborn baby's unusual middle name.

The 35-year-old publicly exclaimed her surprise pregnancy on her Instagram in May 2023, saying she was eight months pregnant at the time and that the baby would be born "in just a few weeks".

They are parents to two others: Wilfred, who was born in April 2020, and Romy, who was born in December 2021, The Mirror reports.

Carrie announced the birth of her son Frank on social media, who had arrived on July 5, uploading a photo of herself holding the newborn.

She captioned it: "Welcome to the world Frank Alfred Odysseus Johnson born 5th July at 9.15am. (Can you guess which name my husband chose?!)

"Am loving every minute of the sleepy baby bubble. Seeing my older two embrace their new brother with such joy and excitement has been the most wonderful thing to see. We are all very smitten."

She thanked the NHS maternity team at UCLH.

"They really are the most amazing, caring people. I feel such immense gratitude. Now, can anyone recommend any good series/box sets to binge while breastfeeding? Time for a drink," she said.

The baby is understood to be at least the eighth child Mr Johnson has fathered, having had four children with his ex-wife Marina Wheeler, and another in 2009 with the arts consultant Helen McIntyre, with whom he had an affair.

Only last week, Carrie posted a picture of her bump.

She wrote at that time: "Not long to go now. Thank you lovely @romybecker.photographer for capturing a few moments of calm before the real fun begins."

The 35-year-old married 59-year-old Boris in a quiet ceremony in at Westminster Cathedral in 2021 after the pair became engaged in late 2019.
