There’s a baby Boris on the way.

[VivaLeBeaver]

BoJo is going to be a dad again, summer baby.

I'm not a fan of Boris but I wish them well and a new baby is a joy. So many nasty comments on this thread; it's sad to see on a parenting site about a pregnant woman.

So Carrie, what first attracted you to the millionaire Boris Johnson....

Oh do stop being so insufferably pious, ItIsWhatItIsInnit.

Thought she already had a ring on her finger, if she is not in fact divorced from her husband.

I feel so sorry for the baby

I love the way the odd poster has said its lovely news! But not bothered about the other kids, exes and mistresses.

I haven't said it's lovely news. But I think the comments about a pregnant woman are unkind. Far better to say nothing in my opinion.

Didn’t realise she had been married before/is still married!

Aww shucks, maybe she asked him - it's is leap day.

The timing is presumably because she is showing (or will be imminently).

You can't keep it quiet indefinitely, and there's always going to be something else in the news. Choosing a Saturday at least gives people some time to chunter about it for the rest of the weekend, then get back to real business on Monday

Are people sure she's married?

Didn’t realise she had been married before/is still married!

Oh, yes, they both are/were, unclear, but at the time they got together publicly, yes, both were.

Shes obviously very happy, the nasty comments about his appearance are unacceptable, I assume all those posters have really good looking partners .

I agree his track record doesnt inspire confidence, good luck to her.

Why are the nasty comments about his appearance "unacceptable"? By who's reckoning?

That's nice for Boris and his girlfriend.

I never knew she'd been married before.

Another one surprised to read she’s been married before and may still legally be so.

Meh. They’ve both got good jobs and have money. Boris may not be a looker but who is at 55 and everyone has a bit of baggage.
Hardly the car crash people are making out.

"Incredibly blessed" !!! wtf.

God, what an idiotic thing to do, waste your precious 30s and having your first baby with that waste of space.

Gut reaction "euw"
Follow up "classy" ...there's something decidedly tacky about announcing a pregnancy and engagement simultaneously. They're not teenagers in the 60s ffs. If they cared about marriage then they should have been married.

If they don't care then bloody own it, don't make a farce out of it by getting married just because you're expecting a baby. It's not exactly a legal requirement is it?

Ew, can't believe anyone would want to go there, money, power or not.

Meh. They’ve both got good jobs and have money. Boris may not be a looker but who is at 55 and everyone has a bit of baggage.

You wouldn't be saying that if he was working class and living in a council flat would you?

Agreed Devlesko. There must be something about him that is attractive to a certain type of woman.

I didn't know she was married either, who's the husband?
