England’s 55-year old Prime Minister Boris Johnson just had a baby with his 32-year old fiancee Carrie Symonds.
While the news has been celebrated among his peers and friends, it seems that he is still recovering from Coronavirus and so is his wife.
Where does that put the fate of the baby, that’s a question that remains unanswered.
Boris and his fiance both have had Coronavirus, that puts the baby at risk
While Boris Johnson has started working after his release from the hospital, his Coronavirus infection might still be in remission since it has been reported that people are very likely to catch the virus again even after they have recovered. Many people in China have been re-infected even after 70 days of recovery.
His fiance, Carrie Symonds had also shown Coronavirus symptoms but she was never diagnosed. Now, that puts the health of the baby into question, whether he might be susceptible to catching the infection from his mother or not.
How did he meet Carrie Symonds?
Boris and Carrie had announced just two months ago, that they got engaged and will be marrying soon. They both met when he was campaigning for his re-election as the Mayor of London in 2012, and she was part of his campaign team. Back then he was still married to his second wife, Marina Wheeler.
How many kids does Boris Johnson have, 6,7 or 8? We don’t know for sure
The British PM has 4 children from his second marriage, and one another child from an affair that he denied earlier but then accepted after a lawsuit in 2009.
Boris Johnson has frequently dodged the question of how many kids does he actually have. According to sources from The Independent and The Guardian, the possible number of his kids could be 6 or 7. So the newest baby would either be his 7th or perhaps the 8th child.
His staff and colleagues were ecstatic for his new baby
On Wednesday morning, it was announced that Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds just had a baby boy. According to the sources, the child was born at a hospital in London.
The spokesperson announced that the PM and Ms Symonds were really happy, and thanked the hospital staff.
Lindsay Hoyle, Speaker of the House of Commons, said:
“On behalf of everyone in the House of Commons, may I say congratulations to the Prime Minister and Carrie Symonds on the birth of their son. Such happy news amid so much uncertainty — 2020 is certainly a year they will never forget.”
