X Factor star Oritsé Williams has revealed his wife is pregnant with their first child together.

The JLS singer, 37, took to Instagram to announce the happy news with his partner Kazz Kumar, who he married in 2022 in an intimate ceremony in Jamaica.

Oritsé, who rose to fame on The X Factor competition in 2008 with bandmates Marvin Humes, JB Gill, and Aston Merrygold, already has one child with his ex-partner, who he welcomed in 2014.

Announcing the happy news on Instagram, he wrote: ‘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.

‘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.

‘Your kindness carries us, and we are forever thankful to you.’

Their joint post, sharing a series of intimate pictures, was showered in congratulatory messages from fans and his bandmates, with Strictly star JB writing: ‘Congratulations you two Enjoy the beautiful bubble!’

Rochelle Humes said: ‘Congratulations both of you!’ while fellow X Factor icon Alexandra Burke wrote: ‘Congratulations to you both!!!!!! So so so happy for you guys !! Blessings.’

Earlier this year, Oritsé spoke about suffering devastating miscarriages with Kazz, and praised her for her strength during that time.

‘Baby loss and miscarriage is a very, very, very, very difficult thing to be able to deal with,’ the Beat Again hitmaker told Metro.

He continued: ‘You’ve got a lot of question marks that will never be answered.’

Oritsé went on: ‘Women go through things physically, emotionally, psychologically when it comes to that type of thing but [so do] men. I was left with certain scars and open wounds that needed to heal.’

The singer did seek support from other men, some of whom who had been through baby losses, which were ‘super helpful’ in his healing process.

Reflecting on his mental health, the Brit Award winner added: ‘Men definitely need to talk a lot more and not hold things inside and realise that being strong and being tough isn’t just going about your business like I was. Open conversations is what really needed to happen.

‘I’ve learned from that and have grown. I’ve encouraged other men to speak openly and have had a lot of men reached out to me, saying that was really helpful.’
