Carrie has made history as the first partner of the serving prime minister in Downing Street to become a first-time mother. When announcing her pregnancy in February, she wrote on Instagram: "Many of you already know but for my friends that still don't, we got engaged at the end of last year... and we've got a baby hatching early summer. Feel incredibly blessed."

Boris is also a father to four grown-up children with his second wife Marina Wheeler, who the politician married 25 years ago. He also has an 11-year-old daughter with Helen Macintyre, who is an art consultant. During the general election in November, the leader of the Conservative party was asked by LBC how many children he had, and responded: "I love my children very much but they are not standing at this election. I'm therefore not going to comment on them."
