Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife, Carrie Johnson, announced the birth of their fourth child, a daughter named Poppy Eliza Josephine Johnson, on 21 May.

Mrs Johnson shared the news through an Instagram post, accompanied by images of the newborn, according to BBC.

Carrie Johnson, 37, expressed her joy over her daughter’s arrival, writing, "I can't believe how pretty and tiny you are. Feel so incredibly lucky. We are all totally smitten."

The post included photos of baby Poppy in a bassinet, surrounded by her siblings—Wilfred, Romy, and Frank—as well as moments of Carrie and Boris holding their newborn at University College London Hospital.

Baby Poppy, affectionately nicknamed "Pop Tart," is the couple’s fourth child together.

Boris Johnson, 60, now has nine children, including four grown-up children from his marriage to Marina Wheeler and another daughter from an affair.

Carrie hinted that Poppy might be their last child, calling her the "final gang member."

Boris Johnson’s growing family

Wilfred and Romy were born while Boris Johnson was serving as prime minister during the Covid pandemic.

Their third child, Frank, arrived in July 2023, following Johnson’s resignation from office. Carrie Johnson noted that their children were "utterly delighted" by the newest family member, particularly Romy, who had been eager for a little sister.

Hospital thanks and reflections

In her announcement, Carrie Johnson expressed gratitude to the maternity team at University College London Hospital in Euston, north London, giving special thanks to staff members Asma and Patrick, who had cared for her throughout all her pregnancies.

Boris Johnson, who served as prime minister from July 2019 until September 2022, has yet to publicly comment on the birth. However, the family’s announcement was met with widespread congratulations.

Carrie Johnson’s remarks about Poppy being the "final gang member" suggest that this may be the couple’s last child.

The news of Poppy’s birth has been widely covered, celebrating a new milestone for the Johnson family.

Boris Johnson on post-PM earnings spree in US

Legit.ng earlier reported that Leaving 10 Downing Street was a political hammer blow for Boris Johnson but is doing no harm to his depleted bank balance.

The former prime minister was paid more than $325,000 for just one speech at a US insurance industry event, according to an updated list of British MPs' register of interests released Thursday.

When he became Britain's leader in 2019, the former journalist was forced to give up a lucrative round of newspaper articles and after-dinner speeches, and got into more than one financial scrape as prime minister.
