Caroline Louise Beavan Johnson[3][4] (née Symonds; born 17 March 1988) is an English media consultant and is married to Boris Johnson. She is the daughter of Matthew Symonds, co-founder of The Independent.

Symonds worked as a Conservative Party media official and an environmental activist, and remains a senior advisor to the ocean conservation charity Oceana, and is a patron of the Conservative Animal Welfare Foundation.[5][6] She began an affair with Johnson, then Foreign Secretary, in 2018 while he was still married to his second wife, Marina Wheeler.[2][7]

In July 2019, Johnson became Prime Minister and both he and Symonds officially moved into the flat above 11 Downing Street.[8][9][10][11] She was the first unmarried partner of a prime minister to reside at Downing Street. On 29 February 2020, Symonds and Johnson announced that they had become engaged in late 2019.[12] Symonds married Johnson in 2021.[13][14][15]
