UK Prime Minister: Boris Johnson marries his fiancé
The prime minister, Boris Johnson, has married his fiancée, Kari Simons, in a secret ceremony at Westminster Cathedral.
The wedding was held in front of close friends and family yesterday, according to several newspapers.
Boris Johnson and Carrie Simons were the first unmarried couple to live together in Downing Street. They'd first been publicly linked by the media in early 2019 by the end of that year.
They were engaged, although they didn't announce it until the following February when Carrie Simmons posted the news on Instagram at the same time as announcing they were expecting their first child together.
Wilfred was born in April last year. There have been lots of speculation about when and how the couple would get married. In the end, the reportedly secret ceremony at Westminster Catholic Cathedral took almost everyone by surprise.
Downing Street has declined to comment. An unusual position, but one that chimes with the prime minister's long standing wish to keep his personal life private. Mr Johnston's divorce from his second wife, Maureen Akuila, was finalised last year, making him the first prime minister in centuries to divorce and remarry while in office.
