Boris Johnson Confirms He Has Six Children

By Leave a Comment

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has finally admitted in a Today Show interview that he is the father of at least six children.

CNN: “The number of children sired by Johnson has been a talking point in British politics for many years, after an English court discharged an injunction banning news organizations from reporting the existence of a daughter as the result of an extra-marital affair.”

“Johnson has four children with his ex-wife Marina Wheeler, one daughter from the affair, and a son with his wife Carrie Johnson, who he married earlier this year.”
