PM Boris Johnson’s second divorce has been granted, leaving him free to plan his third wedding when the lockdown restrictions are relaxed.
Marina Wheeler applied for a decree absolute in February and the Mirror understands that it was granted before Mr Johnson’s fiancee Carrie Symonds gave birth to his child last week.
Ms Wheeler, a leading barrister, launched divorce proceedings last year.
On February 18, she obtained permission from the Central Family Court in London to apply for a decree absolute.
The Mirror understands the paperwork was filed “immediately” and the decree was issued. It is believed they could each end up with £4million from the divorce settlement.
On February 29, Mr Johnson and Ms Symonds announced they were engaged and “hatching” a baby in “early summer”.
The child, a boy named Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson, was born on April 29. Mr Johnson, 55, and 32-year-old Ms Symonds are the first unmarried couple to officially live together in Downing Street.
