Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds married “in secret”, according to the press

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson married his fiancee Carrie Symonds on Saturday in a “secret ceremony”, according to British media. Known for his eventful love life, Boris Johnson, 56, married Carrie Symonds, 33, in Westminster Catholic Cathedral, in front of close friends and relatives, newspapers reported Mail on Sunday and The Sun.

He is the second British Prime Minister to marry during his tenure, the first being Robert Jenkinson in 1822. They had been waiting for months to tie the knot after their initial wedding plans last year were delayed by the pandemic. The couple got engaged in December 2019 and have a one-year-old baby boy, Wilfred.

About thirty guests

About 30 guests attended the service – the maximum currently allowed – in central London, after being invited at the last minute, according to the Mail on Sunday. The wedding was celebrated by the priest who baptized the couple’s son, and Wilfred was also present, according to The Sun.

Boris Johnson has been married twice before. He had four children with his previous wife, lawyer Marina Wheeler, before they separated in 2018. He is also believed to have a daughter born from an affair. When he was elected in 2019, he became the first head of government to live in Downing Street as an unmarried couple. Carrie Symonds, a former Conservative Party communications official, gave birth to their son weeks after Johnson left intensive care while recovering from a severe case of coronavirus.
