Blue’s Lee Ryan has become a dad for the sixth time as his wife Verity gives birth to a baby girl. The exciting news was announced on the band’s social media accounts.
The post featured a sweet clip of proud mum Verity cradling their new bundle of joy, accompanied by the message: “Congratulations to Lee and Verity on the arrival of their beautiful, healthy baby girl. Love Duncan, Antony and Simon.”
Lee’s latest addition to the family comes just as Blue are preparing to hit the road for their tour. This is the fourth child the 42 year old star shares with Verity, making him a father of six in total, including Bluebell, whom he shares with ex Jessica Keevil, and Rayn with former fiancee Samantha Miller.
Back in June, Lee revealed that he and Verity were expecting their fourth child together. The singer shared a snap of himself lovingly holding his wife’s growing bump, captioning it: “‘Oooops we did it again’ baby number four on the way to add to our lovely little family!”
Fans couldn’t resist joking about Lee’s ever-growing brood, with one quipping in the comments: “Lee Ryan will repopulate the world” before offering their congratulations to the happy couple, reports the Mirror.
Lee and Verity, who works as an Ariana Grande lookalike and is a former X Factor contestant, tied the knot in a secret ceremony in 2022. Lee gushed over Verity, describing her as a “beautiful, strong and loving woman. And I’m a lucky man to have such a wonderful mother for my child, and now wife, in her,” he said when revealing their surprise wedding in Gibraltar.
“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.”
In October 2024, Lee and Verity renewed their vows in Seville – this time with friends, family and Lee’s bandmates in attendance. Speaking exclusively to OK! about the magical day, Lee revealed: “The service was a beautiful blend of different religions and spiritual elements, accompanied by a variety of music that moved everyone to tears.
“I made my entrance down the aisle with my newborn son in my arms, both of us dressed in matching tuxedos, to the tune of Time by Hans Zimmer, performed by a string quartet.
“The sight of my wife walking down the aisle to ‘I’m Kissing You’ by Des’ree, sung by a gospel choir, was simply breathtaking. We decided to ban mobile phones during the service to ensure everyone was fully present in the moment, rather than trying to capture it on film or in photos.”
