Boris Johnson married his third wife Carrie Symonds in 2020, making Mr Johnson the first Prime Minister in 200 years to get married while in office. But the Prime Minister's love life has long been a popular subject in the press.
He married his second wife Marina Wheeler in a matter of weeks after becoming divorced from Allegra Mostyn-Owen. Ms Mostyn Owen had to tolerate a series of reports about Johnson’s love life outside of the home while he was working as a journalist and member of parliament.
The PM has a child outside of his marriages. He has a daughter with Helen Macintyre, which was confirmed after a court ruled that it was in the public interest that this information about the then-London mayor entered the public domain.

How long have Boris and Carrie Johnson been together?
Boris and Carrie Johnson have been officially together since 2019, although they have likely known each other much longer than this. Carrie worked with the Tory party for several years before they started seeing each other and was part of Boris’ reelection campaign as London mayor in 2012.
Boris’ ex-wife Marina Wheeler reportedly kicked him out of their marital home in 2018 after rumours he was having an affair with another woman, but the couple didn’t make their relationship official until 2019. That same year police were called to Carrie’s home in south London where Johnson was reportedly staying after neighbours called due to concern about a woman's safety in the flat
At the time the police said: “Police attended and spoke to all occupants of the address, who were all safe and well. There were no offences or concerns apparent to the officers and there was no cause for police action.”
A few days later, on June 24, a photo of the couple holding hands in the countryside was released. The pair announced their engagement in February 2020, saying that they were expecting their first child later that year – with Carrie revealing in an Instagram post that they had been engaged since late 2019.
Boris and Carrie would officially tie the knot in May 2020 in a ceremony at Westminster Cathedral. It was attended by 30 people due to Covid restrictions and took place just weeks after the birth of their first son Wilfred.
How many children do Boris and Carrie Johnson have together?
Boris and Carrie have two children together, Wilfred who was born shortly before they married and Romy who was borning in December 2021. In between the birth of their two children, Carrie Johnson revealed in a post on her Instagram account that she had gone through a miscarriage before becoming pregnant with Romy.
She wrote: “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 experienced loss so I hope that in some very small way sharing this might help others too."
