Lee Ryan, the former Blue singer, has secretly married X Factor contestant Verity Paris in a low-key ceremony in Gibraltar. The couple, who have been together for two years, welcomed a daughter last year.
The wedding was attended by close friends and family earlier this week. Ryan told The Sun: '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.'
Ryan, 40, has two older children from previous relationships: daughter Bluebell, 13, and son Rayn, 12. He and Paris have never publicly revealed their daughter's name or shared pictures of her face.
Verity Paris, who appeared on X Factor in 2009, later worked as an Ariana Grande lookalike. The couple moved to Spain last year, with Ryan saying the Costa del Sol offers a 'better quality of life' for his family.
