Blue’s Lee Ryan is about to become a dad once again, as his wife is pregnant.

The singer, 40, shared his happy news with a snap of him and Verity Paris, whom he married last year.

Lee placed a hand on his wife’s stomach as she smiled, leaning in for a kiss.

A statement shared on the official Blue Twitter page read: ‘Me and my wife, Verity, are very pleased to announce our new baby, that will be born this year.’

‘The news came out of the blue’, he joked.

‘I found out on my 40th birthday! What a present from god’.

The message added that his bandmates are ‘thrilled’ for the couple.

Lee and Verity’s arrival will make him a dad for the fifth time.

Lee is already a dad to Bluebell, 16, whose mum is Lee’s ex-girlfriend Jessica Keevil.

The star also has teenage son Rayn with former fiancee Samantha Miller in 2008.

Meanwhile, with Verity, he has a one-year-old and a baby daughter born last year.

Lee and Verity had secretly married in March 2022 with an intimate ceremony in Gibraltar, after dating for two years.

He told The Sun earlier in the year: ‘I met someone finally who loves and supports me in everything I do.

‘Verity is a beautiful, strong and loving woman who I treasure. And I’m a lucky man to have such a wonderful mother for my child, and now wife, in her.

‘I’ve never been more calm and grounded and I have Verity to thank for that. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life because of the wonderful family life I now have.’
