Lib Dem Clegg Becomes A Father Again
The wife of Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg has given birth to a boy, it has been announced.
The infant, named Miguel, arrived yesterday morning, and is the couple's third son.
Mr Clegg's wife Miriam Gonzalez Durantez is said to be doing well.
A spokesman for the family also confirmed the baby is "healthy and strong".
The 42-year-old MP is expected to take two weeks paternity leave, and will return to front-line politics in time for his party's spring conference on March 6.
Deputy Leader Vince Cable will stand in for the party leader in his absence.
Miriam is a former Middle East expert at the foreign office. Her father was a conservative senator in the Spanish parliament.
The pair met while studying at the College of Europe in Bruges and now live in south west London with sons Antonio, seven, and Alberto, four.
