Both mother and baby are doing very well, their spokeswoman said.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his fiancee Carrie Symonds have announced the birth of a “healthy baby boy at a London hospital earlier this morning”.
Both mother and baby are doing very well, their spokeswoman said.
“The PM and Ms Symonds would like to thank the fantastic NHS maternity team,” the spokeswoman added.
Mr Johnson only returned to work on Monday after spending time in intensive care during his battle with coronavirus.
The couple announced at the end of February that Ms Symonds was pregnant and they had got engaged.
Dominic Raab will stand in for Mr Johnson at prime minister’s questions later.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock posted on Twitter: “So thrilled for Boris and Carrie. Wonderful to have a moment of unalloyed joy!”
And Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer tweeted: “Wonderful news. Many congratulations to Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds.”
Ms. Symonds announced she was pregnant in February in a post on her Instagram account.
“I wouldn’t normally post this kind of thing on here, but I wanted my friends to find out from me,” she wrote.
“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.”
