Carrie Symonds, the girlfriend of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has just revealed that the couple is expecting their first baby, as she is 5-month pregnant, but also are preparing to wed soon.

After telling family and close friends, Ms Symonds put rumours to rest and announced the news on her private Instagram profile, writing: "We got engaged at the end of last year... and we've got a baby hatching early summer."

According to the 'Mirror', the boy or girl will be the sixth child with three different women for the Prime Minister, who is still married to his second wife and proposed to his soon-to-be third wife around Christmas and New Year's.

Johnson, 55, will become the first British prime minister to marry in office for 250 years. He had four children - all adults now - with his estranged spouse Marina Wheeler and a love child who was conceived during an affair with property developer Helen Macintyr. Here are the four kids:

Previously, there had been rumors that Symonds - the first unmarried partner of a prime minister to reside in 10 Downing Street - was pregnant. The couple chose to live in the four-bedroom flat at No11 instead of the smaller two-bedroom official residence at No10.

Symonds wrote on Saturday: "I wouldn't normally post this kind of thing on here but I wanted my friends to find out from me... 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.. Feeling incredibly blessed".

A spokesperson for the couple said: "The Prime Minister and Miss Symonds are very pleased to announce their engagement and that they are expecting a baby in the early summer."

Symonds, 31, would get married soon after his porce with Ms Wheeler is finalized.
