The 38-year-old comedian took to social media to break the news about the latest addition to his family, having kept the pregnancy of his partner Grace Adderley out of the public eye.
The pair, who prefer to keep their personal life private, celebrated the birth of a baby girl this past February 2023.
Seann appeared to confirm that they are now a family of four with an Instagram post featuring a photo of his daughter Wylda alongside their newborn, Casper.
Captioning a candid snapshot of Wylda smeared with food, Seann humorously remarked, "My first five minutes of being left alone with Wylda and our newborn Casper. S*** just got real."

He posted a video from the hospital thanking the "amazing" staff for their support and recounted his fainting episode with a touch of humour: "I passed out during the birth. Of course I did. The nurse's response?'Men.' Fair."
Seann, who has been dating dance instructor Grace, 32, since 2018 following his infamous stint on Strictly where he was caught kissing his married dance partner Katya Jones, first disclosed the pregnancy during an Instagram Live while touring. The comedian also became a father for the first time shortly after placing 5th on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here in 2022, reports the Mirror.
Last year, Seann disclosed that he is still grappling with the repercussions of his stint on the BBC show, which was marred by a cheating scandal. During his time on the programme, he was caught in a kiss with his dance partner Katya Jones, setting off a chain of tumultuous events.

Following the scandal's exposure, Seann's life spiralled, leading to depression and panic attacks.
Even after seven years, Seann has not completely healed. Discussing his ongoing struggle with post-traumatic stress in a recent interview, he remarked: "I do not dance. What it is more actually is when you turn up to any car park or something, and it says, 'Strictly No Parking'. I still just go, 'Arghh', every time I see it."

Eager to move past the difficult period, Seann threw himself back into stand-up comedy and performing. However, upon reflection, he acknowledges that his return was premature.
He elaborated: "I went back too soon - that's for sure. You've got to kind of let audiences, or the public, almost let them get over it.
"But I wanted to kind of fight it. I didn't want this thing that was happening to my life to take away the only thing that I had."
In 2022, Seann made significant changes in his life, including quitting alcohol and participating in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, with the aim of shifting public perception.
