Aston’s JLS bandmate Marvin Humes and his wife This Morning host Rochelle Humes was quick to congratulate the couple.
Marvin wrote: ‘Love you all…couldn’t be happier for you all…A GIRL! ❤’
Rochelle added: ‘Aunties still not over it. We love you baby girl’.
I’m A Celebrity winner Giovanni Fletcher said: ‘Congratulations to you all! Welcome to the world Riley!’

Aston and Sarah are already proud parents to two sons, Grayson, five, and Macaulay, three.
The couple announced they were expecting their third child back in September by sharing a sweet video montage showing their two sons finding out they are set to be brothers while also showing their scan and positive pregnancy test.
A sweet clip then showed the boys kissing an ultrasound image and then cheering about the happy news with their mum and dad, who wed in September 2022.
The pair previously shared a sweet video montage of their family and friends reaction to their pregnancy reveal back in November.
The couple, who have started their own YouTube channel The Merrygold Family, shared the reactions of their loved ones, as Aston captioned the video: ‘The one with the reactions!! The best reactions to the best news!!!’
He added: ‘3rd child first time capturing our friends and families reactions! Enjoy.’
Among those finding out the happy news were Aston’s bandmate Marvin Humes and his wife Rochelle, who was filmed jumping up and down in delight and shrieking ‘I knew it!’
Rochelle shared the video on her own Instagram page, quipping: ‘Why am I that friend?’
The video opens with Aston and his wife showing their sons sonogram photos as the boys say they want a baby sister before quickly changing their mind to a brother.
The couple’s pregnancy news comes a year after Aston insisted he could not handle more than two children and ruled out having more kids – despite branding fatherhood ‘the best job ever’ and stating being a dad gave him ‘a new purpose in life’.
He said: ‘[Being a dad is the] best thing ever. Best job ever. It gives me reason to get up.’ However, when asked if he plans to have any more children, he stated: ‘No. I can’t chase three. Two is good for me.’
