WHEN THREE BECOMES FOUR - ‘WE'LL MARRY AS SOON  AS WE ARE ALLOWED TO BOOK SOMETHING'

The second Aston Merrygold and his fiancée Sarah Richards set eyes on their newborn son was an emotional one.

“I was a mess! That moment is priceless – it’s indescribable to see a life born into the world,” Aston tells us of finding they had welcomed another boy.

Macaulay Shay Merrygold arrived safely on 5 June, weighing 7lb and 13½oz and his big brother Grayson, two, couldn’t wait to meet him!

But little Macaulay’s arrival was, of course, under unusual circumstances. The UK has been in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic for much of the later stages of Sarah’s pregnancy, but thankfully, with restrictions now easing, Aston was able to be by Sarah’s side.

Sarah, 36, tells us, “It was a proper team effort!”

The pair first met back in 2011 at the Capital Summertime Ball, becoming a couple in September of the following year. They got engaged on Christmas Eve 2017, and are keen to finally start planning their wedding as soon as lockdown ends.

They are now at home settling into life as a family of four. And, of course, Aston, 32, can’t wait to introduce his son to the rest of the JLS boys, Marvin Humes, Oritse Williams and JB Gill. The band, whose reunion tour will hopefully kick off in November, now have seven children between them. “We’ll need our own tour bus soon,” laughs Sarah.

As they invite us into their garden for some fun in the sun, Aston and Sarah exclusively introduce us to the newest member of the Merrygold family...

Congratulations on welcoming Macaulay. He arrived rather fashionably late, though...
