The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his partner Carrie Symonds have been pictured together with their baby son for the first time.

Johnson and Symonds welcomed Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson on April 29 and confirmed his name with an Instagram post on May 2.

The image released by Downing Street shows Johnson, 55, and Symonds, 32, together with Wilfred as they take part in a Zoom call. Symonds is holding 11-week-old Wilfred in the photo, who already has a full head of blonde hair just like his father.

The couple spoke to some of the midwives at University College Hospital London who had helped to deliver their son at the time.

Sky News reports that the new mother thanked the midwives for "the brilliant work they do, day in and day out" during the call.

Although Wilfred reportedly wasn't due until later in the summer, both mother and baby were said to be "doing very well" following his arrival at the London hospital.

Wilfred was born just over two weeks after Johnson was discharged from a London hospital, where he had been treated for COVID-19 in an intensive care unit.

A spokesperson for the prime minister recently confirmed that he plans to take paternity leave later in the year.

Symonds explained in an Instagram post that Wilfred and Lawrie's names were chosen for her son after both her and Johnson's grandfathers. They also decided on Nicholas in honor of the two hospital doctors, Dr. Nick Hart and Dr. Nick Price, who saved Johnson's life while he contracted the coronavirus.

"Thank you so, so much to the incredible NHS maternity team at UCLH that looked after us so well. I couldn't be happier. My heart is full," Symonds said at the time.
