Aston Merrygold has become a father for a second time.
The JLS singer and his wife Sarah Louise Richards welcomed a son, Macaulay Shay, into the world on Friday (05.06.20).
He wrote on Instagram: "Welcome to the world baby boy …
Macaulay Shay Merrygold … 12:52pm 5/6/2020 (sic)"
Whilst Sarah shared the same image and a matching caption, announcing the couple’s happy news.
His bandmates – Oritsé Williams, Marvin Humes and JB Gill – were quick to offer their congratulations.
Commenting on Aston’s post, Oritsé wrote: "Little boy born to an incredible father, an incredible mother @sarahlourichards and an incredible big brother in @graysonjaxmerrygold … so so happy for you all bro xxxx (sic)"
Whilst JB shared: "The most beautiful news …. so proud of you @sarahlourichards and so happy for all three of you @astonmerrygold @graysonjaxmerrygold … enjoy these incredibly special moments!! Lots of love from #TheGills (sic)"
Marvin wrote online: "The family is getting bigger … congrats @astonmerrygold and @sarahlourichards .. love you guys (sic)"
Meanwhile, Aston – who also has Grayson Jax, two, with dancer Sarah – previously revealed he only wants two children.
Sarah said: "As soon as Aston found out [I was pregnant], he was like, ‘Let’s do this, but that’s it!’"
Whilst Aston added: "Honestly, I had always said that I was never really interested in marriage and kids.
"Before meeting Sarah, I just wasn’t bothered and I was younger. But our relationship built and I thought, ‘Yeah this is the forever one.’ I was always happy with one kid, but at the same time, I can still carry two, so it’s perfect."
Aston and Sarah got engaged in 2017.
