Boris Johnson confirms he has six children and ‘changes a lot of nappies’ in rare remarks about private life

BORIS Johnson today confirmed he has six children – and that he “changes a lot of nappies”. 

The PM is famously tight-lipped about his private life and has always refused to spill exactly how many kids he has.

But in a surprisingly candid interview with NBC on a trip to New York he opened up about his family. 

Asked if he has six kids, Mr Johnson simply replied: “Yes.”

It is already known that the PM has at least six children but his reluctance to put a number on it has given rise to speculation he has more.

His third wife Carrie Johnson is pregnant with the couple’s second child after giving birth to one-year-old Wilf last year. 

Describing what it was like to have kids in Downing Street, the PM gushed: “It’s fantastic! It’s a lot of work. But I absolutely love it. I change a lot of nappies.”

Mr Johnson has four children with his second wife Marina Wheeler and one fathered during an affair.

Giving a rallying cry to Cabinet colleagues last week the PM only father-of-six Jacob Rees-Mogg has seen as many delivery rooms as him. 

Mr Rees-Mogg has notoriously never changed a nappy – leaving it to his long-time nanny.

Mr Johnson is in America for the UN General Assembly and will meet Joe Biden at the White House tonight.
