@DemBonesDemBones I don't hope Carrie Johnson is the better parent, I know. Acknowledging all her children for starters.

SprayedWithDettol · 31/07/2021 17:55

She has had sex with him again. What a horrible thought. She must have a strong stomach.

YogaLite · 31/07/2021 17:56

With you there @Blankspace4, it rubs salt into wounds when publicity seeking slebs look for sympathy that way.

Carrie Johnson and Boris Johnson expecting second child

Well done to the BBC on the headline!

MadameOvary81 · 31/07/2021 17:59

@52andblue It's the first time (and most likely last) that i've said something popular on Mumsnet. Grin

DobbyTheHouseElk · 31/07/2021 18:02

Didn’t they have a catholic wedding. So I’d have thought pretty normal to have a baby soon after. She is his wife.

But having seen the mess of opening an umbrella. I do wonder if it’s a good thing or not.

ResIpsaLoquiturInterAlia · 31/07/2021 18:04

I wonder who the next squeeze will be? Or which religion he is suddenly a saint of? His current is getting them in to ensure a cut of the pie. However I thought he was taken to the cleaners by the ex but this Johnson dynasty is something else and the sister pretending to know little about this brother as if they are not siblings. The father is a character too as apparently now French although Boris is himself USA born and as I understand they are of mixed French, Russian and Turkish Islamic origin so hence Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Kemal Johnson. A very intriguing international mix!

@LaurieFairyCake

Very sorry for her loss

Even sorrier that this bloke is so bloody fertile

🤣🤣
merrymouse · 31/07/2021 18:07

Interesting that they only mention 4 of his other children. He now has at least 7, which must be unusual for a PM, but that isn’t considered newsworthy…

SixesAndEights · 31/07/2021 18:08

Apols, I said six, this'll be at least his seventh! And it's believed he's got at least another one that is "secret". So eight minimum.

SixesAndEights · 31/07/2021 18:11

Yes, judges at an appeal for anonymity said "the father's infidelities resulted in the conception of children on two occasions."

So, he's got 4 from his second wife, 2 from an affair or affairs, and now 2 with Carrieantoinette (I din't coin that name btw!).

imamule · 31/07/2021 18:11

Didn’t they have a catholic wedding.

which was a joke, perhaps it's forward planning to save on school fees

Comedycook · 31/07/2021 18:14

I don't think this about your average person but I do think the prime minister of the UK should have a solid, relatively scandal free personal life. He is an absolute disgrace

Roussette · 31/07/2021 18:26

I think this one is no. 8?

Hearing the newcasters talks as if Wilfred and this one are the only children he has. No mention of the other 6 or 7 or whatever. It must be so hurtful to them.
I read somewhere that a few of his children have no contact with him whatsoever.
I feel for them.

I feel for Carrie with the m/c.

However, they are both master manipulators so think nothing of her pregnant, I just don't care. But if it speeds along him resigning, all well and good.

Thewinterofdiscontent · 31/07/2021 18:28

I don’t think Boris is any worse than any other PM and he’s got through Brexit and Covid despite the bumbling fool image.

However him having another child is absolutely shit for the environment. The last thing we need is more humans. Especially ones that will inevitably live a comfortable consumerist lifestyle. Eight?! He should have had the snip years ago.

ThePluckOfTheCoward · 31/07/2021 18:28

Ugh, the man should be gelded.

ChargingBuck · 31/07/2021 18:28

Fucking hell. So Carrie Antoinette has now shagged that arsehole TWICE?

Pass me the smelling salts.

Hugoslavia · 31/07/2021 18:30

One would think that he would have been too busy running the country and knackered from looking after his baby to consider another....but then I suspect that he's done little of either.

merrymouse · 31/07/2021 18:31

No mention of the other 6 or 7 or whatever.

The four from his previous marriage have been mentioned, but they are obviously side stepping the elephant in the room.

PerditaNitt · 31/07/2021 18:32

@imamule absolutely spot on. Perfect observation.

merrymouse · 31/07/2021 18:33

2 from an affair or affairs

We know at least one conception resulted in an abortion, so they may be referring to that.

Benjispruce5 · 31/07/2021 18:35

It wasn’t an accident the first time? She actually means to have sex with him???

SwedishEdith · 31/07/2021 18:41

@merrymouse

2 from an affair or affairs

We know at least one conception resulted in an abortion, so they may be referring to that.

This says 'children'. The abortion is public knowledge so don't think it's referring to that.

www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/boris-johnson-children-how-many-a9489766.html

Why is the number of children Mr Johnson has vague?
During the court proceedings, it was alleged that Stephanie Macintyre was one of two children the prime minister fathered as a result of an affair.

merrymouse · 31/07/2021 18:45

I agree that the number is vague. If it weren’t the BBC would talk about it clearly because it is unusual for a PM to have that many children. Happy to be corrected but I think you’d be looking back 100 years at least to find one with a similar size family.

HaveringWavering · 31/07/2021 18:46

@Nettleskeins

I'm pleased for her but surely this does not count as struggling with fertility??? As per her statement. A year and half gap between babies isn't a fertility problem!! For those who have struggled with fertility and miscarriage, her statement is a bit attention seeking.
Agreed. She is 33 and had a one pregnancy loss between two successful pregnancies. It’s not nice for her of course but it’s insulting to those of us who had real fertility struggles. Massively attention-seeking.
