Carrie Johnson has welcomed her third child with husband Boris Johnson.

Writing on Instagram, the former prime minister’s wife confirmed she gave birth to Frank ‘Frankie’ Alfred Odysseus Johnson on July 5 at 9.15am.

Mrs Johnson quipped: “Can you guess which name my husband chose?”

The couple also have Wilfred, aged three - who was born in April 2020, just 17 days after Mr Johnson left hospital after beating coronavirus - and Romy, two, whose birth followed in December 2021.

Sharing a collage of photographs of her new baby, including shots with Wilfred and Romy, Mrs Johnson added: “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 [University College London Hospitals]. 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.”
