Lee told The Sun two years ago: ‘I met someone finally who loves and supports me in everything I do.

‘Verity is a beautiful, strong and loving woman who I treasure, and I’m a lucky man to have such a wonderful mother for my child, and now wife in her.

The singer revealed that they took out Spanish residency before Brexit and that their daughter will have ‘dual passports’ with the couple excited for her to speak Spanish.

Lee and Verity, whose real name is Verity Morley, were first linked back in January 2020 before enjoying a loved-up holiday together in February last year.

Lee, who was known as somewhat as a Lothario on Celebrity Big Brother and Celebs Go Dating, previously reflected on his failed relationships and low points of his life.

He told the Daily Mail in 2019: ‘I shouldn’t have lost the family life I had with my ex-fiance, Sammi, and our little boy, Rayn. He’s ten now and we’re really close again.

‘But I neglected the relationship so it’s only relatively recently that he’s been able to see functioning co-parenting, something my mum and dad never achieved,’ they split when Lee was six.

He added back then: ‘I don’t know if I’ll settle down for a long time. I love the early months of a relationship and then I start concentrating on my career again.

‘I also have a daughter, Bluebell, who’s 11. These are key ages for my kids so I’m working as hard as I know how to make memories with each of them that will last. They’re my priority for the next few years.’
