BORIS Johnson and wife Carrie have today welcomed their second child after she gave birth to a baby girl.
The couple announced the 33-year-old was pregnant again in July with an adorable Instagram snap of a pram.
It came just two months after they secretly wed in Westminster Cathedral on May 29, 2021.
A statement released today said: "Prime Minister Boris Johnson and wife Carrie have announced “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."
It is understood Boris, 57, was with Carrie throughout the birth.
The pair haven't revealed the baby's name yet but their first born, Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson, was named after medics who treated Boris for Covid.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer was the first to congratulate the couple after the happy news was revealed.
