Reports quoting a spokeswoman for the Prime Minister and his partner said both mother and baby are ‘doing very well’.
Johnson, it is learnt, who has just recovered from coronavirus, was present throughout the birth, at an NHS hospital in London.
Downing Street, however, declined to say whether the baby was born prematurely, and did not provide details of the weight, timing, nature or location of the birth.
