Boris Johnson to become father again, for the 8th time: 'I change a lot of nappies'

Carrie Johnson, the wife of former British prime minister Boris Johnson, on Friday (19) announced on Instagram that she is pregnant with the couple's third child.

She also added that the baby would arrive "in just a few weeks".

Carrie also shared a picture of herself holding hands of her two children -- Wilfred, three, and Romy, one-and-half years.

"New team member arriving in just a few weeks. I've felt pretty exhausted for much of the last 8 months but we can't wait to meet this little one. Wilf is v excited about being a big brother again and has been chattering about it nonstop. Don't think Romy has a clue what's coming…She soon will!'' she wrote.

Carrie, who is the third wife of Johnson, married him in May 2021.

According to the Independent, the 35-year-old Carrie is a British media consultant and worked as a media official for the ruling Conservative Party.

It is the first time the couple have welcomed a child while not living in Downing Street, which they left in September last year after Johnson, 58, was ousted by his own government.

The new arrival will be the former prime minister's eighth child as he has four children from his previous and second marriage to Marina Wheeler. He has one more child from an affair with art consultant Helen Macintyre, according to BBC.

However, he has not officially confirmed the exact number.

He did not have any children with his first wife Allegra Mostyn-Owen.

The news comes days after the ek-UK PM purchased a nine-bedroom mansion with a three-sided moat in Oxfordshire, worth 3.8 million pounds, as per the Guardian.

Speaking about his love of fatherhood, the-58-year-old told Sky News in 2021, "It's a lot of work, I'll tell you that much, but I love it, I absolutely love it, and I want you to know I change a lot of nappies."
