BORIS Johnson is the proud father of four and the biological father of five.
The PM has always been a little tongue-tied when it comes to his spouse, specifically around questions of his love child with Helen Macintyre. Here's all you need to know.
Who is Helen Macintyre?
Helen Macintyre hit the headlines when it emerged she was the mother of Boris Johnson's lovechild.
Johnson fathered the child with Macintyre in 2009.
Ms Macintyre lost a three-year legal battle to stop the Press naming Boris as the father of her daughter Stephanie.
Lawyers for the Daily Mail argued it was in the public interest because it “went to the issue of recklessness and whether on that account he was fit for public office”.
The Appeal Court also heard in 2013 that Ms Macintyre’s daughter was alleged to be the second child conceived as a result of Boris’s extra-marital affairs.
One ex described his romancing style as “persistent”.
What is Helen Macintyre's job?
Helen Macintyre is an art consultant.
She graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2996 with an MA in art history and has worked in the international art industry ever since.
From 1997 to 2004 she worked for Hall & Knight Ltd, dealers and agents in European Fine Art in London and New York.
In 2004, Macintyre joined the Business Development and Client Advisory team at Christie’s auction house.
