Welcome to the Johnson family

Boris Johnson‘s father Stanley has acknowledged the Prime Minister’s love child with art consultant Helen Macintyre for the first time.

Stanley, 79, told the Sunday Times Magazine he had spoken with his granddaughter Stephanie, 11, in two video calls and hoped to meet her once the coronavirus lockdown is over.

The Johnsons have never before recognised the Prime Minister as the father of Stephanie, who was born in November 2009 to art adviser Miss Macintyre.

Stanley added he was also excited to meet his newest grandchild, Wilfred, who Mr Johnson welcomed with his fiancée Carrie Symonds, 32, in April, shortly after his battle with coronavirus.

‘Fourteen includes Stephanie — that’s the point,’ he said. ‘I am particularly pleased to include Stephanie.’

Stanley added he was ‘thrilled’ to have spoken to his granddaughter on FaceTime, and now has plans for him and Rachel Johnson, Stephanie’s aunt, to meet with the child.

Miss Macintyre, who had an affair with Mr Johnson while he was still married to his former wife Marina Wheeler, lost a legal battle to keep the paternity of Stephanie out of the public eye in 2013.

The Appeal Court ruled the public had a right to know that Mr Johnson had fathered a daughter during an adulterous liaison while Mayor of London in 2009.

The possibility of a second baby was also mentioned in court.

Speculation over the paternity of Stephanie, who has a wild mop of flaxen hair and instantly recognisable features, had surfaced the summer after her birth.

Mr Johnson’s ex-wife Marina reportedly threw him out of the house ‘like a tom cat’ after claims that Stephanie was the result of an affair between the then-Mayor of London and art consultant Miss Macintyre, who worked for him in an unpaid capacity.

Alongside Stephanie and his newborn son Wilfred, Mr Johnson fathered four children with Ms Wheeler throughout their 27-year marriage: Lara Lettice, 27, Theodore Apollo, 20, Cassia Peaches, 22, and Milo Arthur, 24

Miss Macintyre moved out of the £5million London home of her cuckolded partner, property developer Pierre Rolin, after Stephanie was born.

Neither she nor Mr Johnson, 55, has ever confirmed – or denied – that he was the father.

Alongside Stephanie and his newborn son Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas, Mr Johnson fathered four children with Ms Wheeler throughout their 27-year marriage: Lara Lettice, 27, Theodore Apollo, 20, Cassia Peaches, 22, and Milo Arthur, 24.

He married Ms Wheeler in 1993 after divorcing his first wife Allegra Mostyn-Owen, who he met as a student in Oxford before tying the knot in 1987.

In 2004, it emerged Mr Johnson was reportedly having an affair with journalist Petronella Wyatt who had fallen pregnant and had an abortion.

He was sacked from the Tory frontbench over the affair. In 2006, the News of the World reported Mr Johnson had another affair with journalist Anna Fazackerley.

In September 2018, news about his relationship with former Tory communications chief Carrie Symonds came to light – and they later moved in together.

So how many children is that, Boris? Newborn son is (officially) PM’s sixth child after four with ex-wife Marina Wheeler and daughter from 2009 affair

Lara was the first child born to Mr Johnson and Ms Wheeler, in 1993.

Just five weeks after her parents’ wedding day, Lara – who is only five years younger than Carrie Symonds – was born.

She attended Bedales School – which costs £33,000-a-year – in Hampshire and went on to read Latin at St Andrews University.

Lara allegedly branded her father a ‘selfish b******’ after his split with her mother.

She has previously been pictured in public with her parents, including when she casted a vote with them at a polling station in Islington, North London, during the London mayoral elections of May 2012.

MILO ARTHUR JOHNSON, 24 (born in 1995 to Boris Johnson and Marina Wheeler)

Milo Arthur Johnson, 24, was educated at the £27,000-a-year Westminster School

Born in 1995, Milo was Boris Johnson and Marina Wheeler’s first son.

The 24-year-old was educated at the £27,000-a-year Westminster School and is said to be a keen sportsman.

A 2011 issue of his school magazine described him as ‘delight to watch’ and said he was ‘without doubt the player of the season’ for his football skills.

Milo studied at London’s School of Oriental and African Studies, graduating from there in 2014, and can speak Arabic, Russian and French.

He also worked as an intern in Dubai at men’s magazine Esquire Middle East.

After Mr Johnson and Ms Wheeler separated in 2018, the politician and Milo were photographed bringing tea for the Press outside his house in Oxfordshire.

Cassia, thought to have followed in her father’s footsteps to be a writer, is the youngest daughter of Mr Johnson and Ms Wheeler.

She was born in 1997 and went to Highgate School – which costs £18,000 per year.

During Cassia’s time at the private school she was a student editor of their alumni magazine Cholmeleian.

Born in 1999, Theodore is Mr Johnson and his ex-wife Marina Wheeler’s youngest child.

He attended school in London before going to Cambridge University, unlike his father who attended Oxford.

He is listed on LinkedIn as ‘Theodore Johnson-Wheeler’ in a profile which states he started at Cambridge in 2017.

Theodore has also been labelled previously as something of a doppleganger for Mr Johnson, with the same distinctive hair colour and style.

STEPHANIE MACINTYRE, 11 (born in 2009 to Boris Johnson and Helen Macintyre)

He also has a fifth child, Stephanie Macintyre, with art consultant Helen Macintyre.

Stephanie is allegedly one of two children he fathered as a result of an affair.

The Appeal Court ruled in 2013 that the public had a right to know that he had fathered a daughter during an adulterous liaison while Mayor of London in 2009 – but also mentioned the possibility of a second baby.

The three appeal court judges said: ‘It was not material to the judge’s conclusion whether contraceptive precautions were taken.

‘What was material was that the father’s infidelities resulted in the conception of children on two occasions.

‘The judge was entitled to hold that this was of itself reckless behaviour, regardless of whether any contraceptive precautions were taken. ‘

WILFRED LAWRIE NICHOLAS (born in 2020 to Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds)

Wilfred was born to Mr Johnson and his fiancee Carrie Symonds, 32, on April 29, 2020 after the Prime Minister’s battle with coronavirus.

He was named Wilfred after Mr Johnson’s grandfather and Lawrie after Ms Symonds’ grandfather.

The name Nicholas was given in tribute to the NHS doctors who saved Mr Johnson’s life when he was in intensive care with coronavirus.

A spokesman for Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds said: ‘The Prime Minister and Ms Symonds are thrilled to announce the birth of a healthy baby boy at a London hospital earlier this morning.

‘Both mother and baby are doing very well.’
