Westlife's Bryan McFadden is to become a father. His fiance, Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona has confirmed she is expecting a child.
He got engaged to the singer a year ago and Kerry is expecting the baby on September 5, a day before her 21st birthday.
Announcing the news that he was to become a father, McFadden - who has notched up seven number ones with his group - said: "This is the best thing that has ever happened to me."
The pair met in the summer of 1999 but got together as a couple in November. They recently told Hello! magazine about their relationship and their secret engagement.
The couple also spoke about how they wanted to have children and had come up with names for their first - Molly for a girl and Dylan James for a boy.
