In June, Lee announced that he and Verity were expecting their fourth child together. The singer posted a photo of himself cradling his wife's baby bump and captioned it: "Oooops we did it again' baby number four on the way to add to our lovely little family!"

Fans joked about Lee's expanding family, with one jumping in the comments to say "Lee Ryan will repopulate the world" before congratulating the couple.

Lee and Verity, who works as an Ariana Grande lookalike, got married in secret in 2022. Lee described Verity 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 announcing their nuptials.

“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."
