During an interview with NBC's Today, Johnson was asked if he had six children, to which he answered, "Yes."

The number of children fathered by Johnson has been a subject of interest in U.K. politics for years. In 2013, when Johnson was mayor of London, an appeals court rejected an injunction banning news outlets from reporting that a daughter of Johnson came of an extramarital affair.

The U.K. prime minister has had four children with his ex-spouse Marina Wheeler, one daughter from the affair, and a son with his present wife, Carrie Johnson whom he married in May this year.

Johnson said it was "fantastic" having a baby at 10 Downing Street, but added that it was also "a lot of work," according to the NBC interview. "But I absolutely love it," he said. "I change a lot of nappies."Carrie Johnson announced in August that the couple is expecting a second child and revealed she had suffered a miscarriage earlier in the year.
