The lovebirds made headlines in December 2019 when they got engaged a few months after buying a house together in the UK.

Following their engagement, Mann and Hampson were set to walk down the aisle in September 2020, but their plans changed due to the pandemic.

On what would have been the couple's wedding day, Hampson shared a heartfelt post on Instagram. "I can't wait to marry you, but the world has other plans," she wrote alongside a picture of her and Mann.

The pandemic may have hindered the duo from tying the knot earlier, but it did not prevent them from expanding their family. In June 2021, Mann and Hampson announced that they were expecting a child. A few months later, on October 18, 2021, the pair welcomed their son, Bowie.

Mann introduced the baby to his Instagram fans a few days after birth, noting that "you are already my everything Bowie."

That same day, Hampson also shared pictures of the newborn on her Instagram page alongside a heartwarming caption.

About two weeks after Bowie's birth, Mann celebrated his 28th birthday, and Hampson marked the occasion with a lovely post as his first birthday since his son was born.

"Watching you become a Dad has been nothing short of wonderful," Hampson wrote (via US Magazine).

Besides being a father and the singer who appeared on X Factor in 2014, there are other lesser-known facts about Mann.

For example, in March 2018, he and Liam Payne, an X-Factor alum, performed a cover of John Mayer's "Waiting on the World To Change" at a Commonwealth Day service.

Another fact about Mann is that he was briefly a member of a boy band called Stereo Kicks. Other band members were Barclay Beales, Charlie Jones, James Graham, Jake Sims, Chris Leonard, Reece Bibby, and Casey Johnson.
