Lee is already dad to daughter Bluebell, 18, with Jessica Keevil, daughter Rayn, 16, with ex Samantha Miller, and has three children with his wife Verity. The couple welcomed their children in 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Verity and Lee met years ago at an event, with Lee telling OK!: "We first saw each other at a Christmas lights switch on when I was promoting and Verity was a performer, and we met backstage.
"A few weeks later, we went on our first date and we bonded over our love of food – sushi, on that occasion. The first time I knew she was the one was on our second date. We picked a Christmas tree and danced around my living room to John Legend."
The lovebirds wed in 2022 with their daughters walking down the aisle and Lee's bandmates Duncan James, Antony Costa and Simon Webbe all present.
Speaking to about the magical day, Lee said: "It was great to have Simon, Duncan and Antony there. 'I don’t have any actual brothers – but they are my brothers.
"Through thick and thin, all four of us. We’ve had many ups and downs over the years and it’s only the four of us who really know what it’s like. It’s a bond that’s lasted 24 years now."
The married couple have now relocated to Spain to raise their growing family, with Lee telling The Sun about their marriage.
He said: "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.
"I’ve never been more calm and grounded and I have Verity to thank for that. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life because of the wonderful family life I now have."
