British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his fiancée Carrie Symonds married on Saturday in a small private ceremony in London, UK newspapers reported.

Johnson’s office declined to comment on reports in The Mail on Sunday and The Sun that the couple wed at the Roman Catholic Westminster Cathedral in front of a small group of friends and family.

The Sun said senior staff in Johnson’s 10 Downing St office were unaware of the wedding plan.
