Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has featured in photos posted by his wife Carrie showing off a new summer beard. The blonde ex-Tory leader, 60, looked strikingly different with greying facial hair, in a snap playing with his children in Greece, on the beach in his swimming trunks. The children, including Wilfred and Frank, are also pictured clambering on rocks, enjoying a pool, looking out at a sea view, playing on the beach and spending time with friends.
A caption written by Carrie read: “Our favourite place.” One person commented on the post: “We miss you Boris.” Another said: ” “You’re looking great!! I didn’t recognise Boris at first!! Loving his look!! Love the beard.” A different person wrote: “Precious family memories made, lovely to see Boris looking so happy and can I just say you look INCREDIBLE Carrie!” The couple have four children, the latest, Poppy, arriving on May 21. Carrie said after the birth: “Welcome to the world Poppy Eliza Josephine Johnson born on 21st May.
“I can’t believe how pretty and tiny you are. Feel so incredibly lucky.
“We are all totally smitten.
“Not sure I’ve slept a minute since you were born as can’t stop looking at how completely lovely you are.”
The Johnsons were married in May 2021 at Westminster Cathedral.
Mr Johnson also shares four children with his former wife, lawyer Marina Wheeler, as well as a child born in 2009 resulting from an affair with art consultant, Helen Macintyre.
He was pictured on the paradise island of Euboea earlier this month, enjoying a dip in the sea, relaxing on the beach, eating packet of crisps and sipping some cocktails, according to the Mirror.
Euboea is second largest Greek island, and less than an hour from Athens.
It is reported to have been the location of a Johnson family holiday before, as the family was seen enjoying a break there in 2022.
Also known as Evia, Euboea it is a favoured destination for many tourists owing to its beuatiful white beaches and restaurants.
Mr Johnson cut a previous holiday short in order to sound out support for a Tory leadership bid after Liz Truss’ resignation in 2022, flying back from the Dominican Republic.
The former PM received more than the 100 MPs’ nominations needed to stand, but announced that he would not run.
