Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister, marries his fiancée in a private ceremony.

(CNN) — UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson married his fiancée Carrie Symonds at Westminster Cathedral in London in a private ceremony.

According to a Downing Street spokeswoman, the "little ceremony" took place on Saturday afternoon.

The pair will celebrate with family and friends again next summer, according to the spokesman.

Following their wedding, Boris and Carrie Johnson stand in the grounds of 10 Downing Street.

According to multiple British newspaper reports, the secret wedding, dubbed by PA Media as a "hidden wedding," was held in front of intimate friends and family.

In a tweet, UK Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey said, "Congratulations @BorisJohnson and @carriesymonds on your marriage today." Vicky Ford, the Minister for Children, also sent a message of congratulations via Twitter.

 “My heartiest congratulations to @BorisJohnson and @carriesymonds, and my heartiest love to Wilf. Covid has caused numerous marriages to be postponed or disrupted. “Love makes everything better,” Ford wrote.

Symonds gave birth to Wilfred, the couple's first child, on April 29, 2020. The Prime Minister was hospitalized with coronavirus the same month. Later that year, she and Johnson made their first joint televised appearance to thank NHS employees for treating him in hospital and delivering his child.

The pair reportedly issued save-the-date cards to family and friends for an event on July 30, 2022, just days before their wedding.

The two announced their engagement and plans to marry in February 2020.

Johnson, 56, has four children with Marina Wheeler, his second wife. Johnson's relationship with Symonds was disclosed immediately after the couple announced their separation after 25 years of marriage in September 2018.

Symonds, 33, has had a successful political career, including being a member of the campaign team that helped Johnson win re-election as mayor of London in 2012.

At the age of 29, Symonds became the Conservative Party's youngest-ever director of communications. Analysts believe she was instrumental in cleaning up Johnson's famously unkempt image during the presidential campaign (CNN)
