The proud parents announced the happy news over social media this morning, thrilled to see their family grow.

Sharing a black and white photo of the baby’s hands, both Aston, 32, and Sarah, 34, wrote: “Macaulay Shay Merrygold 12:52pm 5/6/2020.”

Their celebrity pals rushed to congratulate the couple on the happy news, flooding the comment section below the snap.

While former soap star Gemma Atkinson added: “Ahhhh congratulations to you all!”

The happy couple revealed they were expecting baby number two back in December, much to the delight of their fans.

He said: “So it’s baby boy/girls due date.. October 3rd we took this as we had just found out life was guna change & get even more crazy (as you can see the panic was real)!

“I’ve watched only what I can describe as superwoman shine through this pregnancy (as she did the first) but I’m so proud & so in love with you @sarahlourichards.”

Their first child, son Grayson Jax, two, was born in January 2018, weeks after Aston asked Sarah to marry him.

Earlier this month, Aston surprised Sarah with a lavish baby shower, going out of the way to make the day special despite the lockdown.

Sarah formerly worked as a backup dancer on X Factor, and went on to meet her future-husband while performing alongside JLS.

The boyband came second to Alexandra Burke on the hit ITV reality show back in 2008, going on to sell millions of albums in the UK alone.

Congratulations Aston and Sarah!
