British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his partner Carrie Symonds have announced the birth of their baby.

Johnson’s office says Symonds gave birth to a “healthy baby boy at a London hospital earlier this morning" and both mother and baby are doing well.”

Johnson, 55, and Symonds, 32, announced in February that they were expecting a child, the Associated Press reported.

Johnson only returned to work Monday after suffering from a bout of coronavirus.

He spent a week in a London hospital, including three nights in intensive care.
