Digital Desk: Former UK prime minister Boris Johnson will become a father again, his wife Carrie declared on Friday. It will be the couple's third child together and believed to be the ex-leader's eighth.

"New team member arriving in just a few weeks," Carrie Johnson wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of herself holding her two small children, Wilfred and Romy.

"Wilf is very excited to be a big brother again and has been talking about it nonstop. Romy has no idea what's coming. She soon will," she added.

Wilfred was born in April 2020, not long after Johnson was admitted to the hospital for treatment of Covid.

Romy then arrived in December 2021, while Johnson was still the prime minister of the United Kingdom.

He was ousted the following summer, amid a revolt within his ruling Conservatives over a series of scandals, including Covid lockdown-breaking parties at Downing Street.

The 58-year-old Johnson has been married three times and is still a Tory politician, although being hardly seen in the Commons chamber.

He has four children from his second marriage to lawyer Marina Wheeler, and will now have three with Carrie, 35, a former Conservative Party media adviser whom he married two years ago.

The ex-leader has another child, a daughter, from an extramarital affair.

Johnson stated to US TV network NBC in an interview in September 2021, before Romy's birth and after years of speculation over how many children he had, that he had six at that time.
