Julius Caesar had a son with Cleopatra out of wedlock - a little over 2000 years ago.

It happened quite a bit back in the day when monarchs called the shots. Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, for example, acknowledged multiple illegitimate children. Some were given top jobs, like Margaret of Parma who was made governor of the Netherlands, and Don Juan of Austria who led the Christian forces against the Turks at Lepanto.

Obviously, their marital status is not ideal, but I actually think it’s kind of cool and life-affirming to see a British PM fathering a child. Anyone remember a few years back when someone pointed out that virtually all of the European leaders (Merkel, Macron et al) were childless?

Johnson is 24 years older than Symonds. In all fairness to Macron we must proclaim Johnson’s partner has daddy issues.

There are other world leaders with children out of wedlock, the new Prime Minister of Finland is an unwed mother. I'm too lazy to look it up but I'm sure there are others, especially among the northern european countries where most don't bother to get married any more.
Getting worked up about a 24 year age difference seems to be a modern thing, until the modern era and the feminist movement few people would have batted an eye at an age difference like that.

Albert II, Prince of Monaco? Not an absolute monarch though.

We have a small flock of free range chickens, and when a hen goes broody we let her hatch a few chicks. It is a marvelous thing to observe. But that has me cracking up at the use of the word “hatching”, here. ROFL with the visualizations... This especially with the (past?) Brit use of “bird” for a (usually young) woman.
I wonder if the Brits have the same meaning for “little pecker” as we generally do here?!

Don't know if he's the first leader to have a baby out of wedlock. It's somewhat understandable in this case.

Unmarried! oh the humanity! It would have been better off, and celebrated if they were transgender couple, gay couple, lesbian couple, metrosexual couple, bi sexual couple or a threesome

Congrats on your engagement, Boris. It would be funny if in 25 years, Boris Johnson's kid married a Trump kid... 😋

Does it matter? At least they aren't going to murder it. In the 1980s, my friend lived with his gf and they had 4 kids together. They lasted until 2009, she she died of breast cancer. They weren't religious, but they loved each other.
As I said before Congrats on both the pregnancy and engagement!

Boris continuing on his mini-Trump track.
He already has two sons and two daughters from his first two marriages, and at age 55 he’ll be an older father with a younger mother, so in a sense this new baby will be something of his Barron.
To: nickcarraway
If you read between the lines, the baby will not be born a bastard.
Before the birth event, there will be a wedding event
