Lara Lettice, born in 1993, is the eldest of Boris' brood and was conceived ahead of her parent's wedding.

The MP married barrister Marina Wheeler in 1993 when she was pregnant with their daughter.

Fashionista Lara has carved out an impressive journalism career - as well as writing for Tory mag The Spectator and British Vogue and arts reviewing for the Evening Standard.

She is also a former Features Editor at online style mag SHOWStudio.

In 2016, she launched her own publication (un)fold magazine - which examines the "correlation between mental health and creativity".

And just like her dad, she is a keen classicist, gaining an A in her Latin A-Level and going on to study at Prince William and Kate Middleton's prestigious university St Andrews, where she gained a Master of Arts in Latin and Comparative Literature.

Boris' family life has caused him some controversy over the years.

His four children have a younger half-sister, Stephanie, who was born in 2009 - the product of an affair with art adviser Helen Macintyre.

Stephanie is the third youngest of Johnson's children.

At first, he denied paternity and wasn't named on the birth certificate.

However, his relations were revealed after a 2013 court battle in which he sought an injunction to prevent her existence being reported.

It is not believed her elder half-siblings or her father have anything to do with her.
