Dermot and Dee, who married in September 2012, announced they were expecting in February.
Back in 2015, Dermot revealed he hoped to start a family with Dee soon.
He told Fabulous Magazine, ‘I definitely want kids, but I've got a very busy wife with a very busy life.
‘It's not fair for me to say, “I want kids now”. I do want kids with my wife, but I want them when we both think it's the right thing to happen.’
