Carrie Johnson has given birth to her third child with husband former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and revealed he has been given a very unusual name.
The 35-year-old announced her surprise pregnancy on her Instagram in May 2023, revealing she was eight months pregnant at the time and that the baby could arrive "in just a few weeks".
The couple have two other children: Wilfred, who was born in April 2020, and Romy, who was born in December 2021.
In an Instagram post today Carrie announced the birth of a son who had arrived on July 5, along with a photo of herself holding the newborn.

"Am loving every minute of the sleepy baby bubble. Seeing my older two embrace their new brother with such joy and excitement has been the most wonderful thing to see. We are all very smitten.
"Thank you so much to the incredible NHS maternity team at UCLH. They really are the most amazing, caring people. I feel such immense gratitude. Now, can anyone recommend any good series/box sets to binge while breastfeeding? Time for a drink."
The baby is at least the eighth child Mr Johnson has fathered, having had four children with his ex-wife Marina Wheeler, and another in 2009 with the arts consultant Helen McIntyre, with whom he had an affair.
Last week Carrie posted a series of photos to her 71,000 followers on Instagram showing off her bump on a country walk with Wilfred and Romy.
