British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his fiancée Carrie Symonds tied the knot on Saturday in a private ceremony at Westminster Chapel, London.
Johnson, 56, and Symonds,33, an environmental campaigner, announced their engagement in February 2020 and have a son together, 1-year-old Wilfred.
“Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Ms. Symonds were married yesterday afternoon in a small ceremony at Westminster Cathedral,” a spokesperson for the prime minister’s office said. “The couple will celebrate their wedding with family and friends next summer.”
This is Johnson’s third marriage and Symonds’ first. Johnson married socialite Allegra Mostyn-Owen. Their marriage lasted from 1987 to 1993. He then married attorney Marina Wheeler in 1993. He has four children with Wheeler and one with art consultant Helen Macintyre, with whom he had an affair.
Johnson is the second British prime minister to marry while in office, the first being Robert Jenkinson’s wedding to Mary Chester in 1822.
