She shared a series of family pictures including one of Mr Johnson holding his newborn daughter and another of two of their older children sweetly looking at the baby.
In the post shared on Instagram, Mrs Johnson wrote: "Welcome to the world Poppy Eliza Josephine Johnson born on 21st May. Aka Pops, Pop Tart.
"I can’t believe how pretty and tiny you are. Feel so incredibly lucky. We are all totally smitten. Not sure I’ve slept a minute since you were born as can’t stop looking at how completely lovely you are.
"Thank you so much to the amazing maternity team at UCLH and particularly to Asma and Patrick who have looked after me so well through all my pregnancies. I really cannot thank you guys enough."

Mrs Johnson went on to say the couple's other three children, Wilf, Romy and Frank, "are utterly delighted", adding: "Particularly Romy who was desperate for a little sister. Bring on the matching dresses."
She called their newest addition to the family the "final gang member".
"Back from hospital now and time for cocktails and pizza with my tiny baby snoozing on my lap. Life doesn’t get any better," she added.
Mr Johnson, 60, also shares four children with his ex-wife, lawyer Marina Wheeler, and a child, born in 2009, as a result of an affair with art consultant Helen Macintyre.
Succeeding from Theresa May, Mr Johnson was prime minister from July 2019 until his resignation in September 2022.
