UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson married his fiancee Carrie Symonds in a secret ceremony at Westminster Cathedral in London on Saturday (May 29).
According to a report in CNN, a Downing Street spokesperson said that the “small ceremony” took place on Saturday afternoon.
The spokesperson added that the couple will celebrate again with family and friends next summer.
The stealth affair, described by PA Media as a “secret wedding,” was reportedly held in front of close friends and family, according to several British newspaper.
Under current COVID-19 restrictions in England, only 30 people can attend a wedding.
UK PM Boris Johnson (56) and Carrie Symonds (33), an environmental advocate, announced their engagement in February 2020 and have a son together.
On April 29, 2020, Symonds gave birth to the couple’s first child, Wilfred.
The marriage is Symonds’ first and Johnson’s third.
Johnson has four children from his second marriage with Marina Wheeler. The two announced they were splitting after 25 years of marriage in September 2018, shortly after which Johnson’s relationship with Symonds was confirmed.
He was also previously married to Allegra Mostyn-Owen for six years.
The last British prime minister to marry in office was Lord Liverpool in 1822.
