Boris Johnson and his high-flying lawyer wife Marina Wheeler are now living apart after she again accused him of cheating, it has been claimed.

The former Foreign Secretary and his wife, both 54, are no longer living together or socialising as a couple, according to reports on Thursday night.

Update: Boris Johnson confirms he is divorcing his wife of 25 years

Mr Johnson has been accused of a string of affairs during the couple’s 25-year marriage. And according to the Sun, his latest alleged fling was the final straw.

The newspaper reported that his fashion journalist daughter Lara, 25, said Marina will “never take him back” and labelled her father a “selfish b******”.

The Conservative MP’s marriage has been rocked previously by reported affairs with other women, with Marina throwing him out twice before.

A friend of Mr Johnson told the Sun there is “no getting around” that the couple’s living arrangements have changed, but added: “I wouldn’t say their marriage is over until there’s a divorce. He doesn’t do anything politically without consulting her."

Mr Johnson was previously married to Allegra Mostyn-Owen, whom he met at university, between 1987 and 1993. He married Ms Wheeler in 1993.

The former London mayor resigned as Foreign Secretary in July in protest over the progress of Brexit after proposals emerged from Theresa May's cabinet meeting at Chequers.
