Boris and Carrie Johnson announce birth of baby daughter
Carrie Johnson wrote at the time that she had suffered a miscarriage at the start of this year. “Hoping for our rainbow baby this Christmas,” she wrote, referring to a child who is born following a miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death.
A Downing Street spokesman told PA that Johnson would “take some time with his family” but had to “balance that with his responsibilities as Prime Minister in leading the country, which he will continue to do.”
Johnson told NBC it was “fantastic” having a baby in 10 Downing Street, but that it was also “a lot of work.”
“But I absolutely love it,” he added. “I change a lot of nappies.”
Four of Johnson’s children are with his ex-wife Marina Wheeler and the fifth, a daughter, was the result of an extra-marital affair.
The Commission’s investigation was launched in April following reports in British media that Boris Johnson had spent $280,000 on refurbishing his flat at Downing Street, leading to questions over how he paid for the upgrade. The flat is usually the residence of the Prime Minister when in London.
CNN’s Sharon Braithwaite and Luke McGee contributed to this report.
