A sweet video then showed the boys kissing on an ultrasound scan and then rejoicing over the happy news with their mum and dad, who got married in September 2022.
The couple previously shared a sweet video montage of their family and friends’ reactions to their pregnancy reveal in November.

Sarah kept her Instagram followers updated throughout her pregnancy and also shared a slew of photos from a stunning photoshoot that showed off her bump.
The professional dancer sat on a chair in a black sports bra and unbuttoned jeans to show off her blossoming baby bump.
She also posed for a stunning black and white photo, wearing only underwear as she strategically placed her arm across her chest to maintain her modesty.
Other romantic snaps saw Aston hugging his wife as she was wrapped in pink organza as they cradled her growing bump.
The couple’s pregnancy news comes a year after Aston insisted he couldn’t handle more than two children and ruled out having any more – despite calling fatherhood “the best job ever” and claiming fatherhood would give 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 more children, he replied: ‘No. I can’t chase three. Two is good for me.’
Aston and Sarah met on a JLS tour when Sarah was working as a backup dancer over a decade ago.
He popped the question on Christmas Eve in 2017, but the coronavirus pandemic forced them to postpone their big day.
They eventually got married in September 2022 and shared a photo of their wedding rings with the caption: ‘Husband and wife #MrandMrsMerrygold.’
