JAKARTA - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is rumored to be marrying his fiancée, Carrie Symonds, in July 2022 after spreading the invitation to family and friends, according to The Sun.

According to The Guardian on Monday 24 May, this will be PM Johnson's third wedding. As for Symonds, this will be his first marriage.

PM Boris Johnson and Symonds were officially engaged at the end of 2019. In February 2020, the two announced their engagement to the public as well as Symonds' pregnancy.

In addition, the two also announced their desire to build a home. However, they had to postpone the wedding due to the coronavirus pandemic and crowd restrictions.

That same month, PM Johnson officially divorced his wife Marina Wheeler, with whom he had two daughters and two sons. PM Johnson was also married to Allegra Mostyn-Owen.

Meanwhile, according to Reuters, former PM Johnson and Wheeler announced their separation in 2018, ending their 25-year marriage.

Symonds and Johnson's son, Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson, was born in April 2020. Nicholas' name is a tribute to the two doctors who treated Johnson while he was in the hospital with coronavirus.

It is not known exactly where the couple will hold the wedding. However, the prime minister's residence in Buckinghamshire, Chequers, is expected to host the wedding.

Another possible place is the Port Lympne safari park in Kent, as Symonds works for a conservation charity. It was also previously reported that the couple could marry in Italy, where Symonds has relatives.

"It would be nice if Checkers were in the news for such a happy reason", a source told The Sun, as reported by The Guardian. The newspaper said the location of the wedding would remain confidential. However, the time is already known which is Saturday 30 July.

For the record, PM Johnson and Symonds are the first unmarried couple to live in 10 Downing Street, the official residence as well as the British Prime Minister's office, and move there in July 2019.

So far, Downing Street and the assistant prime minister have refused to comment on The Sun's report.
