Lee Ryan has announced that he is expecting his seventh child, revealing today that his wife Verity is pregnant once again.
The 43-year-old Blue star broke the happy news through a heartfelt Instagram post, in which Verity proudly displayed a sonogram image of their unborn baby.
This will be the couple’s fifth child together, with the announcement arriving roughly a year after they welcomed their sixth little one.

The singer also has two children from a previous relationship.
The Instagram video showed the former boyband member joyfully dancing in the sunshine, sporting a black hat, before Verity beamed at the camera while holding up the sonogram of their baby-to-be.
The pair then shared a kiss and were joined by the rest of their brood for the clip.
In a playful nod to the fact that this will be their fifth child as a couple, Mr Ryan chose Five’s hit Everybody Get Up as the soundtrack to the announcement.

Beyond the five children he shares with Verity, the Blue frontman is also father to two older children from a prior relationship.
Verity, who has carved out a career as an Ariana Grande lookalike and is also a former X Factor contestant, secretly tied the knot with Mr Ryan in Gibraltar back in 2022.
At the time, the singer spoke glowingly of his new bride, calling her a “beautiful, strong and loving woman”.
Reflecting on their union, he said: “I’m a lucky man to have such a wonderful mother for my child, and now wife, in her.”
The singer also credited Verity with bringing stability to his life, adding: “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.”
The couple renewed their vows in Seville in October 2024, this time surrounded by loved ones and Mr Ryan’s Blue bandmates.
Speaking to OK! magazine about the occasion, Mr Ryan described the ceremony as “a beautiful blend of different religions and spiritual elements, accompanied by a variety of music that moved everyone to tears”.
He recalled making a particularly memorable entrance, saying: “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.”
Mr Ryan also revealed that the couple chose to ban mobile phones throughout the service so that guests could be fully immersed in the moment.
Fans of the star flooded his comments with congratulations.
