James Bay has married his childhood sweetheart Lucy Smith.

The Give Me A Reason singer announced this week that he and his long-time partner have tied the knot, sharing the news on Instagram.

James, 31 and Lucy have been together for around 15 years, since the couple were teenagers.

And last October, they welcomed their first child together, daughter Ada Violet.

Announcing the happy news on Instagram, James shared two professional photographs from their special day and captioned it simply: ‘Mr and Mrs Bay, August 2022,’ along with a red heart emoji.

One black-and-white photo sees the beaming couple walking down the aisle as they’re showered with flower petals, Lucy appearing to be shrieking with laughter.

Another shows James leading Lucy by the hand into a garden as the sun sets.

The Hold Back The River hitmaker previously shared the joy of becoming a father for the first time, writing on Instagram that he and Lucy were ‘so in love’ with their new arrival.

Sharing photos of himself cradling the little one and holding her hand, the 31-year-old wrote on Instagram: ‘Family ♥️ After all these years together as two, we’re so excited to be three!

‘Last week Lu gave birth to our first baby, Ada Violet Bay. We are so in love and filled with gratitude and joy for this little miracle in our lives.’

While James – who has been in a relationship with Lucy since 2007 – is usually private about his relationships, he opened up in an interview last year about how Lucy inspires his music.

He explained: ‘These next singles and album are a bit of a tribute to the 13-year journey my girlfriend and I have been on.

‘She’s the coolest person in the world. We were close friends before we were in a ­relationship.’

James added to The Sun: ‘Back in the day, we would be sitting in on a Wednesday night watching TV, and she would say, “Hang on, if you want to be a big artist one day, surely you should be out in some pub or club playing some songs right now.”

‘She instilled that in me, and I got out and did it. I wouldn’t be here ­without her.’
