It was announced on Wednesday the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his fiancé Carrie Symon have had a baby boy.
A spokesperson said that The Prime Minister and Ms Symonds both are thrilled and excited while announcing the birth of a healthy baby boy at a hospital in London earlier this morning.
He added that both the mother and the baby are doing well.
It has been a tough month for Johnson, and he was admitted to the intensive care unit with coronavirus on April 6.
The Prime Minister returned to work on Monday and urged the public of the country to “contain their impatience” in an address which he gave to the nation in Downing Street.
He said on Monday that he knows it is tough, and he wants to get the economy of the country moving as fast as he can.
He added that he refuses to throw away all the effort and sacrifice made by the British people and to risk another major outbreak of the coronavirus and a huge loss of lives and the overwhelming of the National Health Services.
It is noteworthy that Johnson already has four children with his ex-wife Marina Wheeler.
The couple had announced the commencement of divorce proceedings in 2018.
Symonds had moved into the Downing Street with Boris when he became the Prime Minister of Britain in July last year.
The Foreign Secretary of Britain, Dominic Raab has been deputising for The Prime Minister while Johnson has been recovering from his severe bout of coronavirus.
Even though Johnson is back at work in Downing Street, Raab would still go head-to-head with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer for Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday.
The Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, said that he congratulates Carrie Symonds and The Prime Minister on the event of the birth of their son on behalf of everyone in the House of Commons. Such happy news amid the pandemic and uncertainty, 2020 is certainly a year they would never forget.
