Scandal: They reveal that Boris Johnson was unfaithful to his second wife

The extramarital life of the current British premier has come to light in an interview with Jennifer Arcuri, a Californian who works as a technology entrepreneur, with the British newspaper Sunday Mirror.

In the report published on Sunday, it is revealed that Arcuri, 35, acknowledges that her love affair with the current prime minister of the United Kingdom lasted between 2012 and 2016, when he was mayor of London, the British capital, and He was still married to his second wife Marina Wheeler.

In fact, the British politician’s marriage to Wheeler that lasted until 2018 broke down after a 25-year coexistence, in which the couple had four children. However, at that time, Johnson’s infidelity had already jumped into the public eye two years earlier when it was discovered that Arcuri participated in trade missions, the expense of which was paid by the Londoners themselves.

However, to date she had not officially acknowledged her affair with Johnson. “We had an intimate relationship for four years. I loved him and rightly so, but the man I thought I knew no longer exists ”, Arcuri noted in the interview with the British newspaper.

The businesswoman has recounted how Johnson’s political campaign for his municipal re-election in 2012 brought their destinies together. It was on the Boris Bus, the traditional means of transport used by the media and associated with the campaign of a certain politician. In this case, from the then London councilor.

The fame of womanizer that has preceded Johnson throughout his political and personal career led to his marriage to Wheeler finally being announced in November 2018; Which, for the Johnson family, and especially their four children, almost seemed like a relief.

The list of infidelities of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is quite extensive. As an example, it can be mentioned that because of his comings and goings, Johnson had to leave his home in 2004, when his wife discovered a four-year affair with the journalist Petronella Wyatt and, in 2010, when it emerged that he had had a child out of wedlock with art consultant Helen Macintyre.

It should be noted that Wheeler was not Johnson’s first wife. Although they married in 1993, when the then London mayor was 28 years old, the British politician had already been married for six years to Allegra Mostyn-Owen, a colleague of his from Oxford University who decided to break up with him when she found out about that he was cheating on him with what would later become his new wife.

However, it is very likely that Arcuri’s revelations could have political consequences for Johnson, since, as his American lover has stated, their first sexual encounter took place hours before the opening of the Paralympic games in London on 29 August 2012. A fact that would put his conduct on trial, if it is confirmed that the British premier violated the principles of public life.
