Amid coronavirus crisis, British PM Johnson's fiancée gives birth to boy
LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s fiancée, Carrie Symonds, gave birth to a baby boy at a London hospital on Wednesday, slightly earlier than had been expected.
Johnson was present at the birth, the prime minister’s spokesman said later. There was no announcement of a name. Queen Elizabeth had sent a private message of good wishes to the couple, Buckingham Palace said. “This birth would be counted as premature,” said Alexander Heazell, professor of obstetrics at the University of Manchester.
But he benefited from public sympathy over his hospitalisation, and state broadcaster the BBC and other media outlets made the baby’s birth the top item on their news bulletins. Symonds and Johnson have been living together in Downing Street since he became prime minister in July. They announced in February they were expecting their first child and that they were engaged to be married.He was once sacked from the Conservative Party’s policy team while in opposition for lying about an extra-marital affair. He has been divorced twice and refuses to say how many children he has fathered.
