JLS star Oritse Williams and his wife Kazz have revealed they are expecting a baby, two years after getting hitched. The singer took to Instagram to share the joyous news with some stunning black and white snaps of him and his wife, with her baby bump on full display. One photo captures him tenderly kissing Kazz's bump, while another shows them in a loving embrace as they anticipate their new arrival.

In his heartfelt caption, he also praised the mother of his child, saying "this journey tested us in ways I can't describe." An emotional Oritse, 37, told his fans: "Overwhelmed with emotion, love, and awe, words can't express how I feel about my Queen, my soulmate, my hero, and stunning Mama Kazz. Her strength, her sacrifices, and everything she's overcome to bring us to this point leave me in absolute wonder."

He continued: "This journey has tested us in ways I can't describe, but her courage has shown me the true depths of love and resilience. We're embracing this sacred time together in our little family bubble. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for everyone who has stood by us and continues to surround us with true love and support. Your kindness carries us, and we are forever thankful to you," reports OK!.

Oritse, formerly of JLS fame, tied the knot with his songstress wife in 2022 amid the breathtaking backdrop of Montego Bay, Jamaica. The wedding venue selection was particularly heartwarming as it paid homage to his mother, who has battled multiple sclerosis and been cared for by Oritse since he was just 12. His mum's family roots in the Caribbean island made the location all the more special.

After saying 'I do', Oritse couldn't help but gush over his other half on social media, posting alongside a snapshot: "When we ran away, just the two of us together, just you and I and got married in Jamaica, it was one of the most magical moments in my entire life, but to be honest, I would've married you anywhere, because the magic is YOU."

He continued to recount his feelings on their big day, stating: "When I watched you walk down the pier isle, along the Caribbean Sea, in the stunning golden hour in your magnificent champaign dress, honestly you made me struggle to keep all composure, I knew I was so blessed, I felt like the luckiest man on earth from the moment you said YES."

Oritse first came into the limelight after his succesful stint on The X Factor in 2008 as part of the boy band JLS. He's since branched out with a successful solo music career - his latest single Sober garnering millions of views and streams - all while maintaining bonds with his fellow JLS members.
