<p>LONDON &mdash; British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his fiancée Carrie Symonds married Saturday in a small private ceremony in London, his Downing Street office said Sunday.</p>
<p>Johnson’s office confirmed reports in the Mail on Sunday and the Sun that the couple wed at the Roman Catholic Westminster Cathedral in front of a small group of friends and family. </p>
<p>The Sun said senior staff in Johnson’s 10 Downing St. office were unaware of the wedding plans.</p>
<p>Under current coronavirus restrictions in England, no more than 30 people can attend a wedding.</p>
<p>Johnson, 56, and 33-year-old Symonds, an environmental advocate, announced their engagement in February 2020 and have a son together, 1-year-old Wilfred.</p>
<p>The marriage is Symonds’ first and Johnson’s third. He has at least five other children from previous relationships.</p>
<p>The last British prime minister to marry in office was Lord Liverpool in 1822.</p>
<p>The reported nuptials come after a tumultuous political week for Johnson, who was accused by former top aide Dominic Cummings on Wednesday of bungling the government’s response to the coronavirus and being “unfit for the job.” </p>
<p>On Friday, an ethics inquiry found the prime minister acted “unwisely” in renovating his Downing Street apartment without knowing where the money had come from but it cleared him of misconduct.</p>
