Boris and Carrie Johnson have welcomed their third child together, a baby boy named Frank Alfred Odysseus Johnson – or Frankie to his family.
Mrs Johnson, 35, made the announcement on Instagram this afternoon, where she shared pictures of the newborn, who is Mr Johnson’s eighth child and Carrie’s second son.
Writing alongside the photos, the former Prime Minster’s wife – who is already mum to Wilfred, three, and Romy, 18 months – revealed the newborn’s arrival and names with a series of adorable pictures.
Carrie, wearing a white dress, is seen holding the baby and looking at him adoringly. She also shared pictures of Frankie being tucked in by his big brother Wilf and lying happily in a Moses basket.
She wrote: ‘A week of Frankie. Welcome to the world Frank Alfred Odysseus Johnson born 5th July at 9.15am. (Can you guess which name my husband chose?!)

‘Am loving every minute of the sleepy baby bubble. Seeing my older two embrace their new brother with such joy and excitement has been the most wonderful thing to see. We are all very smitten.
‘Thank you so much to the incredible NHS maternity team at UCLH. They really are the most amazing, caring people. I feel such immense gratitude.
‘Now, can anyone recommend any good series/box sets to binge while breastfeeding?
‘Time for a drink’.
The baby is the couple’s third together but Daily Mail columnist Mr Johnson’s eighth. The former PM has four children from his marriage to lawyer Marina Wheeler. He also has a fifth child, Stephanie Macintyre, with art consultant Helen Macintyre.
The Johnson’s named Wilfred after Mr Johnson’s grandfather with one of his middle names Lawrie being after her own grandad and his other was Nicholas, after a doctor who treated the former MP while he battled Covid at St Thomas’s hospital in London.
Their daughter Romy was named after Mrs Johnson’s auntie Rosemary, her middle name Iris is Greek for rainbow and her third name Charlotte was a tribute to Mr Johnson’s late mother.

In May Mrs Johnson announced she was expecting her third child, adding that the arrival was just weeks ago.
Sharing her news on Instagram, she said she felt ‘pretty exhausted’ for the past eight months, adding, ‘we can’t wait to meet this little one’ in a few weeks time.
‘Wilf is v excited about being a big brother again and has been chattering about to nonstop.
‘Don’t think Romy has a clue what’s coming. She will soon.’
The baby’s arrival is just over three years after Mrs Johnson gave birth to her first son Wilfred.
And in December 2021 they welcomed their daughter Romy, which Mrs Johnson described as their ‘rainbow baby’ following her miscarriage a year before.
