Boris Johnson is widely reported to have nine known children, but he has not fully clarified the exact total himself, so some uncertainty remains.

Known public answer

  • Major UK outlets in 2025 report that Boris Johnson is the father of nine known children.
  • These reports usually note that the “exact number” is still not officially confirmed, because earlier court documents alluded to the possibility of an additional child.

How that nine breaks down

  • Four children with his former wife Marina Wheeler: Lara, Milo, Cassia and Theodore.
  • One daughter, Stephanie, from a relationship with art consultant Helen Macintyre.
  • Four children with his current wife Carrie Johnson: Wilfred (2020), Romy (2021), Frank (2023), and Poppy (born May 2025).

Why people still ask this

  • For years, Boris Johnson avoided giving a clear total when questioned, which kept the topic alive in political and media discussions.
  • Even when he has spoken about his family publicly, coverage often notes that the figure of nine children is “believed” or “known,” rather than definitively confirmed by him.
