London’s charismatic first citizen — mayor Boris Johnson who is presently married to an Indian, is in the midst of a saucy scandal. It has now been revealed that Johnson fathered a lovechild in 2009. His identity as the father of the child had been kept secret from the public until now as per the wishes of the child’s mother and art critic Helen Macintyre.
But in a blow to Johnson, the appeal court on Tuesday ruled that the public does have a right to know about Boris Johnson’s philandering past.
The Daily Mail has reported the court rejected claims by Helen Macintyre, with whom the married mayor of London had an affair, that the birth of their daughter Stephanie must remain secret.
Speculation over the paternity of Stephanie, ‘who has a wild mop of flaxen hair and instantly recognisable features, surfaced the summer after her birth in November 2009’.
Johnson is presently married to Marina Wheeler, a British barrister and author. Wheeler is half English and half Indian. She was born to BBC journalist Sir Charles Wheeler and his second wife Dip Singh. DM said Stephanie’s father was not identified on her birth certificate.
But Johnson’s wife Marina, mother of their four children, threw him out of the house ‘like a tom cat’ after claims that Stephanie was the result of an affair between the mayor and Miss Macintyre.
