Shaun has two daughters, Lulu and Pearl, with his wife Joanne, and four other children from previous relationships.
The Celebrity Gogglebox star proudly shared a photo of Lulu and captioned it: "Happy 16th Birthday to my fab super duper youngest daughter Lulu!! I am so proud of her. Love from dad."
Shaun often keeps his family life private and fills his social media with music projects.
It comes after The Sun revealed that Happy Mondays are working on a new album – 18 years after their last record, Uncle Dysfunktional.
In an exclusive chat in February, Bez has revealed frontman Shaun Ryder, already has a slew of tunes ready to go.
And he said the group were persuaded to get back in the studio by their manager, Oasis supremo Alan McGee.
'There's talk of a new album to come, which I'm really f***ing looking forward to,' Bez told The Sun.
'It's going to be visionary.
'It's going to be massive.

"It's an idea and Alan normally gets what he wants.
'With all my heart and soul, I want it more than anyone.
'I want to hear the most magic st you've ever heard.
"And I'm sure we can deliver it.'
The group, who had Top Ten hits with Step On and Kinky Afro, have five studio albums in all, but haven't put out an original body of work since 2007.
And Bez – real name Mark Berry – believes the party animals have finally got their act together because they're now in their sixties.
He explained: 'We actually know what we're doing now.
"We were f***ing green when we started.
'We didn't even know what 'one, two, three, four,' was.
'That's how naive we've always been. We're still maturing and the best is yet to come.
'Shaun never stops being creative, it's in his f***ing blood.
"It always amazes me the st he comes out with. It's f***ing genius.'
Alongside the Happy Mondays, Shaun has been hard at work on the debut record for super group Mantra Of The Cosmos, which features Bez, Andy Bell and Zak Starkey.

MAFS star reveals she's turned to fat jabs in desperate bid to lose weight after being bodyshamed on show and by trolls
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MARRIED At First Sight star has revealed she's been subject to "shame" after opting to use fat jabs to lose weight. The E4 favourite, who featured in the Australian version of the matchmaking series, told of her "frustration" at more traditional methods which failed to have an impact on her wellbeing. 6 A MAFS star has revealed she's turned to fat jabs in desperate bid to lose weight Credit: Instagram / itswildbykatie 6 It came after Katie Johnston had been body-shamed by groom Tim Gromie on the E$ show Credit: Nine 6 Restaurant CEO Katie told how she had been hit with 'shame' due to her weight loss method Credit: Instagram / itswildbykatie The auburn-haired star, 37, found fame on Married At First Sight's most recent series, where fans were quick to call out her groom Tim Gromie's cruel conduct. MAFS fans watched in horror as school teacher Tim brutally rejected Katie Johnston just minutes after they said I Do - as he insisted she was nothing like what he "would have wanted". Having pulled a producer to the side, he exclaimed: "What the f***?" He continued: "Totally not what I wanted. "It's not good. I normally go just short, blonde. petite. "Katie is like nothing that I would normally go for." After the body-shaming on screen, restaurant CEO Katie told how she was using "scientific help" for her weight loss - because "that's what it's there for." In a piece to camera filmed outside, she told fans: "I have initially started my GLP1 journey with quite a bit of shame wrapped around it. "Because I was frustrated that I couldn't do it myself and I just didn't have the capacity to figure it out on my own. MAFS' Katie breaks down in tears in upsetiting scenes with Tim "And I utilised scientific help and that's what it's there for. "So it's anything, any meds that you use to help you control parts of yourself like for example anti anxieties, I've used anti anxieties for really bad times in my life that I couldn't cope." GLP1 is a natural hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. It also plays a role in slowing down digestion, and is often a treatment used to help Type 2 Diabetes. The star, whose show groom rudely confessed he wanted to "run away" during the experiment ultimately ended up quitting the series. Mafs couples that have stood the test of time Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home. Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau. Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December. Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.' Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019. Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work. "While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in. 'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?' 'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.' Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson. Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong. They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod. Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship." Yet Queensland native Katie has gained a legion of loyal fans since appearing on-air, who appreciate her cheery character and bubbly, positive personality. Though showing how the backlash towards fat jabs had hit a nerve, she said in her long clip: "OK I'm going to go on a little bit of a rant because I'm frustrated and that's what I do when I'm frustrated. "I'm over people being shamed for using GLP1 or any other method of weight loss. "Anything that people do is their choice and it's up to them and only you know your path and what got you into the position you are and the help that you need. "Only you know that. Sorry about my b****y state "But just be kind to yourself. She rounded off with the words: "So please don't let the narrative out there that it's so easy to lose weight and just eat well, just exercise well. "Just be more motivated, have more discipline - go away! Leave us alone. We're figuring it out. "We are giving ourselves breathing space to be able to implement new habits and learn new things and transition our life to a healthier life. "So help us on our journey and cheer us on instead of giving us a hard time, thank you." She captioned the video: "Dear THAT person, go away, we are all on our own path, you do you, " and one fan replied: "You are so right Katie and I love you either way and you will always be my fave girl x" A second put: "Love this message," as a third posted: "Screw them loves you are amazing and you are rocking it." One then added: "You just keep being You XOXO." Another surmised: "Just keep being you and good luck in your next wellbeing journey everyone needs little help now and again be kind to yourself and ignore the negativity of people xx" SHOW STORY Since her show stint which aired in the UK earlier this year, it emerged her groom Tim had been messaging another bride during their honeymoon. During the scenes, fans were convinced the tattooed star who had an extreme reluctance to talk about his own marriage was a producer "plant." Tim told their co-stars at the Dinner Party he felt he was making the most effort in their relationship, having struggled to find a connection with her - despite scenes showing the exact opposite playing out on screen. It left Katie's fellow bride Jamie furious as she defended Katie and branded Tim a 'gaslighter'. 6 She has opted for the GLP1 jab Credit: Instagram / itswildbykatie 6 The Queensland native suffered a torrid time on the E4 show Credit: Channel 9

In an Instagram post following the final episode, which was aired on Wednesday evening (June 11), Sioned shared her thoughts on the journey she had embarked on in the programme. Article continues below Content cannot be displayed without consent With a collection of photos from their travels, she wrote: "From the moment we set off, Fin and I had no idea just how much this race would challenge us, change us and bring us closer together. "We've crossed countries, faced setbacks, ran for buses (too many times), and soaked in moments I'll never forget. "From the laughs to the tears, every mile has meant something. "This was THE most amazing opportunity I've ever had and to be honest I don't think I can ever top it! "We've literally been able to see parts of the world I never dreamed I'd visit! What a wild, emotional, unforgettable ride. "We've experienced so many new things and we met so many amazing people of different cultures and backgrounds. "It was such a valuable experience and I cannot express how grateful I actually am to have been able to be a part of it!" She continued: "But what really stayed with me were the strangers who became lifelines, the people who helped us without hesitation, offered directions, a meal, or just any information when we needed it most. "I've made some lifelong friends in the team and cast, as well as learned so much more about myself and what I can accomplish. "On top of that I now know that any ups and downs me and Fin will face we can obviously overcome it because we completed Race Across the World together successfully (with a few bickers)!!" She concluded with: "I cannot recommend travelling this way more to anyone! Someone had left a supportive sign for Sioned and Fin ahead of the final episode of Race Across the World (Image: Sioned Cray / Instagram ) "I get that not everyone will be lucky enough to have this opportunity but if this journey has taught us anything it's that you can seriously do anything as long as you put your mind to it. "Super excited to see what our next journey will hold for us. Thank you to all the team at Studio Lambert and Race Across the World for believing in us and allowing to be authentically ourselves. "Thank you to you guys for all the support and I hope you stick around to see what more we'll get up to...".
