[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] British Prime Minister Boris Johnson reportedly had a "surprise wedding" with his fianc?e, who is 23 years his junior, on the 29th (local time), according to local media.

According to local reports, Prime Minister Johnson and his fianc?e Carrie Symonds invited 30 acquaintances and held the wedding ceremony that afternoon at Westminster Cathedral in London.

Johnson is 56 years old this year, and the bride is 33.

The wedding was conducted very secretly, and even senior aides in the Prime Minister's Office were reportedly unaware of the Prime Minister's marriage plans.

This is known to be Johnson's third marriage. He married Allegra Mostyn-Owen, a fellow Oxford University alumna, in 1987, but divorced after an affair with his second wife Marina Wheeler was revealed.

He divorced his second wife Wheeler last year. Johnson officially has six confirmed children.

This is the first time in 199 years since Lord Liverpool in 1822 that a sitting British Prime Minister has married while in office.
