The 41-year-old singer and his significant other - who have daughter London, nine, and son Lincoln, seven - took to social media to inform fans they are pregnant, and the 'City Boy Stuck' hitmaker revealed their baby is due in August.
He wrote on Instagram: "We’re pregnant.
I don’t have many words for this video. Life isn’t perfect. Sometimes it’s beat up and broken but it’s NEVER hopeless. God promises that.
Our story isn’t finished yet, and neither is yours! Through our suffering and joy, God’s glory radiates through it all!
A new Smith boy is due in August (sic)"
In 2019, the couple lost their son River in a tragic drowning accident in their pool at home.
Amber has admitted she didn't think she would be "blessed" with expecting another baby boy aged 39.
Interspersing her post with Bible verses, she wrote: "Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19
"God has made a way we never thought possible.
"If I’ve learned anything over the last 2 years, it’s that I do not have as much control as I think I do.
"The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9
"Never did I think at 39 I would be blessed with expecting another baby boy. These past couple of years have been so rough but also so full of so much joy, hope, healing, growing and grace from God.
"Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:3-5
"Lord, I pray that our story can speak life to someone else who may be suffering to never give up hope. To surrender their burdens to you. To trust you even when it hurts.
"And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 1 Peter 5:10
"Sweet Riv, because of the beautiful life you lived, we are forever changed and we will continue honoring your big, little legacy until we come home to you.
"To God we give all the glory and we can’t wait to meet our new little boy August 2021.
"Head to my stories and swipe up to see The Smiths tonight. We talk a little about the journey. You guys will know everything we’ve gone through over the last 14 months by next episode. We are so excited to finally share this with you (sic)"
