Joe first announced the news that he was expecting a baby with model Rosie Jones in May.
He posted a picture of the two of them on Instagram, with Rosie holding a picture of the ultrasound.
It was the first time he'd posted a photo of the two of them on social media.
"I've always chosen to keep my personal life and relationship private but with such an amazing new thing coming into our lives I thought it would be nice to share the news with you myself," Joe wrote earlier this year.
He added in an Instagram story that he was "ready to be a dad".
Rosie hasn't announced the news of her daughter's arrival yet, but her last Instagram post featured the baby's due date with a photo of her looking at her stomach.
"Happy due date my darling," she wrote.
