Singer Olly Murs and his wife Amelia have become parents for the second time after revealing they welcomed their second child earlier this week.
The 41-year-old performer revealed the news through an Instagram post showing the family departing from hospital.

The couple chose to announce their son's arrival with the caption: "Walking out as four. Welcome to the world, our little Albert."

|The baby's name may hold special significance, as genealogical records indicate Murs had a great-grandfather called Eduards Albert Murs who worked as a performer.
Amelia took to her own Instagram page to share another heartfelt message to coincide with their joint statement.
"My heart is so full right now," she penned to her followers via her Stories, alongside a crying emoji.
The Essex-born artist married 32-year-old Amelia during a countryside ceremony in their home county in July 2023. Their family expanded when they welcomed daughter Madison in April 2024.

During a recent podcast appearance, Murs expressed his determination to be present for his second child's birth.
He revealed: "I've said to Amelia, please, please don't have the baby early."
This concern stemmed from missing time with Madison after her birth, when contractual obligations required him to resume touring with Take That after just two days.
He had described the experience as "horrible" when leaving his newborn daughter and wife to fulfil performance commitments.
