Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his fiancee Carrie Symonds have announced the birth of a son.
A spokeswoman for the PM and his partner said both mother and baby are "doing very well".
It is understood the PM, who has just recovered from coronavirus, was present throughout the birth, in a London hospital, BBC reports.
"The PM and Ms Symonds would like to thank the fantastic NHS maternity team," the spokeswoman added.
Mr Johnson, 55, and Ms Symonds, 32, announced in March that they were expecting a baby in "early summer", and that they had become engaged at the end of last year.
