Aston and Sarah are already parents to two-year-old Grayson Jax Merrygold. Back in December, they announced that they were expecting their second child with an adorable dancing video. At the end, Grayson made an appearance whilst wearing a t-shirt saying ‘I’m going to be a super big brother’ as Aston and Sarah held a baby scan.

Macaulay is the first of two JLS babies to be born this year, with Aston’s bandmate Marvin Humes and his wife Rochelle also expecting their third child, a baby boy, in October. They are already parents to two daughters, Alaia-Mai and Valentina.

Congratulations to Aston, Sarah and Grayson on the birth of their new bundle of joy!
