They are shown dancing to Pharrell Williams’ hit Happy in an elaborate dance routine that Sarah choreographed herself.

At the end of the touching video, she picks up their two-year-old son Grayson, and holds up the sonograph of their unborn child.

I’m going to be a big brother

The toddler then dances along to the song himself in absolutely adorable fashion.

He is finally hoisted up by Aston and revealed to be wearing a t-shirt that reads: “I’m going to be a big brother.”

In their interview with OK!, they explained how they’d already shared the exciting news with Aston’s JLS bandmates Marvin Humes, JB Gill and Oritse Williams.

Aston explained: “Every December, we try and do a JLS family Christmas thing with all the kids, but it was a bit earlier this year at Rochelle and Marvin’s.

“Everyone has been asking about the wedding, so we said, oh guys, funnily enough, we’ve got a save the date.”

And Sarah added: “We had mocked up these Save the Dates and when they turned them over there was the scan picture! The girls screamed! Rochelle [Humes] and Chloe [Gill] couldn’t believe it.”

The couple first met back in 2011 at Capital Radio’s Summer time ball. A year later she became a back-up dancer for JLS and they officially confirmed their relationship that year.

Aston proposed in 2017, but they have yet to walk down the aisle.
