Lee Ryan has revealed he is going to be a dad for the fifth time as wife Verity Paris is pregnant.
The Blue singer, 40, already shares a two-year-old and a one-year old daughter with Paris. He is also a father to daughter Bluebell, 16, with ex Jessica Keevil, and shares son Rayn with former partner Samantha Miller, who was born in 2008.
The All Rise hit-maker took to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday to share the happy news with fans via boyband Blue’s official account.
Alongside a loved-up snap of himself and his wife sharing a kiss while he cradled her growing bump, he wrote: “Me and my wife, Verity, are very pleased to announce our new baby, that will be born this year.”
