And after celebrating his recent birthday with a holiday with his grandkids, he will be looking forward to welcoming a new member in the coming months.
That is because Leah Keane and Taylor Harwood-Bellis revealed they are expecting.
The couple - who got engaged last year - took to Instagram on Wednesday lunchtime to announce the happy news.
They posted a wonderful black-and-white video including clips of the pregnancy test, the scans and on holiday together.

The caption read: "Half of me, half of you."
Harwood-Bellis, 23, memorably scored minutes into his senior England debut against Keane's Ireland last November.
Keane brilliantly said in response to the goal - and upcoming wedding day: "It's not done and dusted yet, things can change really quickly in the Keane household!
"It's nice for him, it's good for him to make his debut.

"He is a really good kid and his family have done a great job."
But the Southampton defender admitted he fears becoming a "one-cap wonder" following relegation last season.

Harwood-Bellis said: "It's the dream to play for England and my dream came true.
"You want to stay there and not be a one-cap wonder.

"I've got a long way to go. I wouldn't say I'm mad close to the team at the minute, with the season going the way it went.
"Personally, if I look at it selfishly, to get back in the England squad, I need to be playing well in the Premier League.
"If I want to play for England, we've got to get promoted.
"People around me know that, and I think the fans know that as well."

Gary Lineker attends niece Tia's lavish wedding as fallout with brother Wayne eases
The brothers have reunited on two occasions this summer FEUD OVER? Gary Lineker attends niece Tia's lavish wedding as fallout with brother Wayne eases Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GARY Lineker has been seen attending his niece Tia's lavish wedding as the fallout with his brother Wayne seemingly eases. Back in June, Gary appeared to put his feud with brother Wayne to one side as they partied at a family wedding in Ibiza - and now they have taken yet another step towards putting their rift to bed.

Tia shared the first glimpse of her lavish Mallorca wedding on Instagram on Wednesday - with her uncle clearly in attendance. She tied the knot with husband Harry Agombar, and her uncle Gary was sitting among the guests despite the 17-year feud between the Lineker brothers. Her father Wayne walked her down the alter and linked onto her arm as he did so. Tia looked stunning in a white dress, complete with a veil and huge bouquet of flowers. Her father walked beside her in a dapper black suit. BROTHERS REUNITE Gary was seen sitting among the guests, signalling a truce between the brothers. This was their second reunion in recent weeks. Back in June the former Match of the Day host's son Harry got married. Harry, 31, tied the knot with partner Bella in a luxurious ceremony on the Spanish island of Ibiza. Gary Lineker reveals Match of the Day blunder he made in last-ever appearance for first time in 26 years Spirits were high as all the family celebrated together beneath the sunshine. GARY AND WAYNE'S FEUD The two brothers are believed to have fallen out while Gary was with his second wife Danielle Bux. They travelled to Ibiza to visit Wayne but the trip broke their close relationship, which saw an end to their weekly phone calls. He told The Sun in 2015: "In my opinion, Danielle cost me my relationship with my brother. "Sadly Gary is no longer a part of my life. "They came to Ibiza in August 2008 and it was really awkward. "I didn't spark with Danielle and our relationship was cold." Wayne was Gary's best man at his first wedding to Michelle Cockayne in 1986. But the club owner did not attend as the ex-BBC host tied to knot with Danielle because his invite did not extend to his girlfriend at the time Ana Tanaka. Opening up on the brother's relationship in a recent interview with The Mail, Wayne said: "It's not so good to be honest, we don't really speak very often. "I'll always be his number one fan."
