Steps star Lee Latchford-Evans is set to welcome his first child – a son – with wife Kerry-Lucy this Summer.\
The Heartbreak in this City singer confirmed the happy news in an interview with OK! Magazine, and admitted he couldn’t believe he was getting a second shot at fatherhood following the couple’s devastating 2018 miscarriage.
“We’re scared as much as we’re excited. We’ve wanted a baby for so long,” he explained. “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.”
Kerry-Lucy added: “Lee’s eyesight isn’t the best and he said, ‘There’s definitely no pink line.’ I woke up at 4 am 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 shared the happy news with bandmates Faye Tozer, Ian ‘H’ Watkins, Claire Richards and Lisa Scott Lee via Zoom, and revealed the Deeper Shade of Blue stars were excited and emotional about his big announcement.
The singer is set to welcome his son in August – one month before Steps release their latest album, ‘What The Future Holds Pt. 2’.
Lee and Kerry-Lucy met in 2007 and tied the knot in 2012.
