A sweet clip then showed the boys kissing an ultrasound image and then cheering about the happy news with their mum and dad, who wed in September 2022.
The pair previously shared a sweet video montage of their family and friends reaction to their pregnancy reveal back in November.

Sarah kept her Instagram followers up-to-date during her pregnancy and also shared a slew of snaps from a stunning photoshoot showcasing her bump.
The professional dancer perched on a chair in a black sports bra and a pair of unbuttoned jeans to show off her blossoming baby bump.
She also posed for a gorgeous black-and-white shot, wearing only a pair of underwear, while strategically placing her arm across her chest to preserve her modesty.
Other romantic snaps saw Aston embrace his wife, while she was wrapped in pink organza, as they cradled her growing belly.
The couple's pregnancy news comes a year after Aston insisted he could not handle more than two children and ruled out having more kids - despite branding fatherhood 'the best job ever' and stating being a dad gave him 'a new purpose in life'.
He said: '[Being a dad is the] best thing ever. Best job ever. It gives me reason to get up.'
However, when asked if he plans to have any more children, he stated: 'No. I can't chase three. Two is good for me.'
Aston and Sarah met during a JLS tour when Sarah worked as a backup dancer over a decade ago.
He popped the question on Christmas Eve in 2017, but the coronavirus pandemic forced them to put their big day on hold.
They eventually tied the knot in September 2022, sharing a picture of their wedding bands with the caption: 'Husband and Wife #MrandMrsMerrygold.'
