Hamilton and Neville met when their bands took part in ITV’s The Big Reunion in 2013.
The Whole Again singer has three children from a previous relationship, while this is Neville’s first child.
In a recent interview, they revealed that they would be calling their new arrival Ella.
“The best gift of the day was something Ritchie bought; he named a star after our daughter, whose name will be Ella, I was sobbing,” she said.
“I’ve always liked Ella and it’s not overused. There’s no middle name yet but at the baby shower, our mums were throwing out names.”
