Aston and Sarah Lou welcomed son Macaulay in June 2020 while Grayson was born in 2018.
Back in 2020, Aston declared he had ruled out having any more children. Speaking with OK! Magazine, he gushed about fatherhood, as he said: "It’s great as it could be to be honest. It’s tiring but it’s even more rewarding because you get twice as much love – it’s incredible."
But, when he was quizzed on the idea of having more children the Everybody in Love singer said: "No. But that’s from me. You wanna… If you ask Sarah you might get a different answer. But I’m here now so I’m saying no." Aston shot to fame on The X Factor back in 2008 with JLS.
His bandmates played all important roles during his wedding to Sarah last year following their five year engagement. Martin Humes was a groomsman, JB officiated the wedding and Oritsé Williams completed the reunion, arriving at the bash with his then fiancée Kazz Kumar. The couple wed in Liverpool and had been together for ten years before saying 'I do'.
Aston proposed to Sarah on Christmas Day 2017 and they initially wanted a low-key wedding but they decided to supersize it after Covid kept them away from friends and family. "I would have been happy with a register office and Sarah would have too, but we both realised during Covid that we want our wedding to be a party," he explained.
