British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie have announced the birth of their second child.
The couple welcomed a baby girl early on Thursday morning.
They already share a son, Wilfred, who was born last year.
A spokeswoman for the couple told the Mirror: "The Prime Minister and Mrs Johnson are delighted to announce the birth of a healthy baby girl at a London hospital earlier today.
"Both mother and daughter are doing very well. The couple would like to thank the brilliant NHS maternity team for all their care and support."
Mr Johnson has always refused to talk about his private life despite years of speculation about how many children he has.
In September, he finally appeared to confirm that he had six children in an interview on a trip to New York.
Asked by NBC's Today show if he has six children, the Prime Minister replied: "Yes".
He added: "It’s fantastic, it’s fantastic, it’s a lot of work, I’ll tell you that much, but I love it, I absolutely love it. And I change a lot of nappies, in case anybody… I do."
Mr Johnson has seven children who are public knowledge: Lara, Milo, Cassia and Theodore with ex-wife Marina Wheeler; Stephanie after an affair in 2009; and Wilfred and the new baby girl with Carrie.
Carrie Symonds and Mr Johnson tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Westminster Cathedral in May.
Mr Johnson picked his brother Leo as his best man, and guests enjoyed an afternoon tea before dancing and singing songs around a fire pit at the back of 10 Downing Street.
So secretive were the plans that even senior members of staff in the British PM's office were kept in the dark about the wedding.
Due to Covid regulations at the time, just 30 people were allowed to attend the festivities.
Thursday's announcement comes as Mr Johnson is under increasing pressure over a Christmas party held at Downing Street last year.
The UK Prime Minister finally "apologised unreservedly" for the gathering on Wednesday but denied all responsibility and continued to claim he was told rules were followed.
