She studied at Beadles and then St Andrews, where she received a 2:1 in Latin and Comparative Literature. Lara has written for various platforms but is now a features editor at Dapper Dan Magazine.

Milo Arthur Johnson

In 1995, Marina gave birth to Boris’s second child and first son, Milo Arthur. Milo is now 26 years old and can speak French, Russian and Arabic! He attended Westminster School and then studied at the London School of Oriental and African Studies. After graduating, he completed a five-month internship in Dubai.

The youngest child of Boris and Marina is Theodore Apollo, who was born in 1999. The 22 year old studied History at Cambridge.

Helen Macintyre

Art consultant Helen Macintyre graduated from The University of Edinburgh in 1996 with a masters degree in Art. She and Boris Johnson had an affair, and in 2009 she gave birth to his child. However, a lot of controversies surrounded this love child,  as Boris denied paternity at first, and Helen also lost a three-year legal battle to stop the press from naming Boris as the father of her daughter Stephanie. Not a lot is known about Stephanie, who is being raised by Helen and her husband William Cash, who told Boris that he would raise Stephanie as his own daughter.

Carrie Symonds

British Political Activist Carrie Symonds became engaged to Boris in late 2019, and in April 2020, they had their first child together. Carrie is a Senior Advisor to the charity Oceana and is also the first unmarried partner of a Prime Minister to live at 10 Downing Street. Although the couple has been engaged for over a year, they have still not gotten married, but with a global pandemic and having a child, it isn’t surprising that they haven’t had time to tie the knot.

Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson

Wilfred is the sixth child of Boris Johnson and is approaching his first birthday. Despite being born in a global pandemic, Wilfred seems to be just like any other adorable baby, and we can’t wait to see how the Johnson’s celebrate his first birthday.
