Steps singer Lee Latchford-Evans reveals he’s become a dad after wife gives birth to baby boy
STEPS singer Lee Latchford-Evans has revealed he's a first-time father after his wife Kerry-Lucy welcomed a baby boy.
The 46-year-old announced that their bundle of joy had arrived with a black and white snap of them holding their son's hand on Instagram yesterday.
Captioning the sweet shot, Lee wrote: "Welcome to the world baby boy.
"Me & your mummy @kerrylucyinsta are so in love! You’re everything we could have wished for & more, Our perfect rainbow baby."
The social media announcement had Lee's famous friends sharing their congratulations.
Leading the charge was his Steps bandmate Ian 'H' Watkins, who cheekily penned: "Guncle H!"
"Congratulations 🎉", wrote Blue's Anthony Costa while Tracey Beaker star Dani Harmer commented: "Congratulations 🥳 xxx".
In April, the Deeper Shade of Blue hitmaker and his wife Kerry-Lucy revealed they were expecting a baby boy after nine years of marriage.
At the time, Lee admitted he was "scared" and couldn’t believe it when Kerry-Lucy revealed she was pregnant again.
Kerry miscarried 10 weeks into her pregnancy when she fell pregnant back in 2018.
Kerry revealed she took three tests to try and persuade Lee she was actually expecting after their tragic loss.
She told the mag: "Lee’s eyesight isn’t the best and he said, ‘There’s definitely no pink line.’ I woke up at 4am the next day and did another and it was definitely positive.
"I think Lee was in shock and still half asleep so I did a digital one that said ‘pregnant’ and I was like, ‘Do you believe me now?’ It took three tests!”
Lee admitted he was still concerned about losing the baby for some time, saying: "It’s a mix of joy but also worry. You think, ‘Is it going to happen again?’ For us our safety net was the 20-week scan."
Lee broke the exciting news to his band mates - Faye Tozer, Ian ‘H’ Watkins, Claire Richards and Lisa Scott Lee - via a Zoom call, telling them he was going to be a bit busy in August.
He says they were all very excited and emotional about their happy news.
Lee and Kerry met in 2007 after meeting at a gig they were both performing at, before tying the knot in 2012.
