Sun Online revealed back in February that the singer and his partner will become parents for the first time.
The news of Andy’s child comes fifteen years after he divorced his first wife, Liberty X singer and reality TV star Michelle Heaton.
The couple married in 2006 but divorced in 2008 after a series of problems.
During their time together, the pair were the focus of their own ITV reality series as well as numerous glossy magazine shoots.
After their split, Andy married Big Brother star Lydia Louise in 2013.
Although the couple never officially announced their separation, they deleted all traces of each other from social media a few years ago.
Andy rose to fame in 2002 as part of 3SL with his two brothers – Ant and Steve.
The band scored two top 20 singles in the UK, after landing a major record deal with Sony, and played numerous arena shows.
The band has also performed at shows including Top of the Pops and the Smash Hits Awards. After their shock split, Andy went on to appear in the second series of Pop Idol where he made it to the final seven.
In 2005, he made an offer to represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest.
In recent years, Andy has shunned the limelight and instead focused on a career as an entrepreneur and travel blogger.
