Mr Johnson, who left Downing Street in September, became the first prime minister to marry while in office for nearly 200 years.

It was his third marriage, having previously been married to Ms Wheeler with whom he had four children. Their divorce was finalised in 2020. He has a further child from an affair.

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

In an interview in 2021, Mr Johnson said it was "fantastic" living with a baby in No 10 but "a lot of work".
