A representative for Simon declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.

It comes just weeks after Simon revealed he had welcomed his second child with wife Ayshen.

The couple announced on Instagram that their second daughter Riya Diamond was born on June 27.

Joking about the delay in the birth announcement, the couple wrote in the caption of the post, “Riya Diamond Webbe.

‘I’m sorry it took so long for my parents to introduce me. They enjoyed the baby bubble world and gave me lots of hugs and kisses, together with my big sister, Cyan. This is my life so far!’

Simon and Ayshen are already parents to daughter Cyan, three.

The couple revealed that Ayshen endured five heartbreaking miscarriages and turned to IVF to have Cyan, but they conceived Riya naturally.

Simon also shares another daughter, Alanah, born in 1996, with his ex-partner Nicola Jones.

Blue has reunited for a Greatest Hits Tour in 2024, celebrating two decades together, and will tour the UK throughout the year

In March, Simon and his wife Ayshen revealed they were expecting their second child after years of fertility problems.

In an Instagram post sponsored by Clearblue pregnancy tests, the couple shared a video featuring old footage of Ayshen in the hospital during her tragic miscarriages, as well as a new clip celebrating their baby news with Cyan.

They captioned the post: “Miracles happen, and we are living proof. With the help of Clearblue, we are happy to announce that our family is expanding!’

‘After suffering heartbreaking losses and enduring the challenges of IVF, we are overjoyed to share that we are expecting our second child together!

‘This journey has not been easy, but every struggle has led us to this moment of pure happiness – by a miracle we have been able to conceive naturally!’

The post continued: “Our little miracle, scheduled to happen in July 2024, is already filling our hearts with love and hope.

“Cyan is absolutely over the moon with this news, and we couldn’t be more grateful for this blessing. Here’s to new beginnings and the incredible journey that awaits us as a family.’

The joyful news followed a long journey to expand their family.

In an Instagram post to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week 2023, the couple candidly revealed that they had experienced a third miscarriage.

The couple welcomed their daughter Cyan in April 2021 after two devastating miscarriages and a failed round of IVF.

Blue has reunited for a Greatest Hits Tour in 2024, celebrating two decades together, and will tour the UK throughout the year.

The band formed in 2000 and went on to release three studio albums titled All Rise, One Love and Guilty.

After announcing a hiatus in 2004, Duncan James, Antony Costa, Lee and Simon released their first compilation album, Best Of Blue.

The group first reunited in January 2011 and represented Great Britain in that year’s Eurovision Song Contest, where they finished in 11th place after performing I Can in Dusseldorf.

They released two more studio albums, their fourth Roulette in 2013 and their fifth Colors in 2015.

In 2013, they joined groups such as Liberty X, Atomic Kitten and 5ive to perform a one-off performance as part of The Big Reunion.

When their tour was due to start, it was postponed after bandmate Lee was arrested after acting ‘intimidating’ and ‘crazy’ on a flight from Glasgow to London City Airport.

He was given a suspended prison sentence of twelve months.

Passing sentence at Isleworth Crown Court, His Honor Judge Nicholas Wood told Ryan he was fortunate to avoid an immediate custodial sentence. He added that the sentence was suspended because of the remorse he had shown and because of the singer’s psychological state.

The judge told Ryan: ‘You have disgraced yourself by doing this. I think you’re aware of that.’

He added: “The language you used may be acceptable in the entertainment industry, but it has no place on an aircraft flown by cabin crew.”

But explaining the reasons why he did not impose a custodial sentence on Ryan, the judge said he was influenced by a number of psychological reports detailing the singer’s mental state.

This revealed that he had been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder; Post-traumatic stress disorder; Dyslexia; ADHD and also struggles with alcohol abuse.

A psychologist also claimed that Ryan was prone to risky behavior and also had a lack of understanding of how to deal with “personal dynamics.”

Judge Wood said: ‘If he (Ryan) did not have these (impairments) he would have been in a better position to interpret the situation that he should not have embarked on a plan drunk.

‘Suffering from these limitations and disorders has reduced your culpability.’

The judge said he also gave Ryan a suspended sentence because he believed the incident had “brought him to his senses.”
