As Boris Johnson is condemned in report, how many children does the ex Prime Minister have and who are they?

Although Boris Johnson was out running this morning, it is impossible for him to run away from the findings of the Partygate report that the Privileges Committee have published. BBC Chris Mason appositely surmises the report by saying this: “Blimey. This is a report-in breadth and depth-that demolishes Boris Johnson’s character and conduct.”

I am sure that Boris Johnson would like to retreat to his new home Brightwell Manor right now  with his wife Carrie Johnson and their two children as they await the arrival of baby number three, but let's be honest, nobody is going to allow Boris to do any retreating right now!

With an impending third child on the way for Boris Johnson and Carrie Johnson, it is certainly going to be a busy time (aside from the Partygate report) for the family. However, Boris of course has more than three children. When he resigned as prime minister, he thanked ‘all’ of his children, but according to The Independent in May 2023, “It is believed that the prime minister has eight children and another on the way, however he has not officially confirmed the exact number.”

Boris did not have children with his first wife, Allegra Mostyn-Owen, but had four children with his second wife, Marina Wheeler. Boris and Marina’s four children are Lara Lettice, 27, Milo Arthur, 25, Cassia Peaches, 21, and Theodore Apollo, 21. 

In January 2023, Boris Johnson’s daughter Lara Lettice Johnson-Wheeler announced her engagement to German art director Patrick Mueller and the announcement was made in The Times. The Daily Mail reported in January that “Patrick Mueller has revealed that he had been fighting a secret cancer battle. “I’m still processing what happened between getting my testicular cancer diagnosis in early summer and a final clear scan last week," says Mueller, a German-born art director based in London.”

Boris and Marina’s second son Milo Arthur was educated at Westminster School in London and studied at London’s School of Oriental and African Studies. Their third child, Cassia Peaches is believed to have worked as a waitress for a while at Sessions Arts Club in London’s Clerkenwell, she studied at Highgate School in London.

Boris’s youngest son with Marina, Theodore Apollo, reportedly also worked as a waiter last year at Morito, a restaurant in East London  and when Boris Johnson went to show his support for his son by eating there, it is believed that he was heckled by fellow diners.

Aside from his children with Marina Warner, Boris also has Stephanie Macintyre, who was born after his affair with art consultant Helen Macintrye. The Independent revealed that “The Appeal Court ruled in 2013 that the public had a right to know that he had fathered a daughter during an adulterous liaison while Mayor of London in 2009.” It went on to say that “During the court proceedings, it was alleged that Stephanie Macintyre was one of two children the prime minister fathered as a result of an affair.”

Boris Johnson currently has two children with Carrie Johnson, Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson who was born in April 2020 and Romy Iris Charlotte Johnson who was born in December 2021. Carrie is expecting their third child any time soon.
