The singer, who already has an 11-month-old son with fiancée Samantha Miller, also has a daughter with Jessica Keevil, whom he met in a nightclub.
He had a paternity test last week which matched his DNA to the two-year-old child and has since asked to meet Jessica again.
The 26-year-old has offered to play a full active role in bringing up the toddler and will pay maintenance. He fathered the child before he was in a relationship with fiancée Samantha.
Speaking of the news, he told the Daily Mirror: ‘I will definitely be a part of my daughter’s life, but I would appreciate it if everyone could respect this as a private matter.’
A source told the newspaper: ‘Lee was stunned when he received the phone call. Initially he thought it was a hoax as Blue fans can be a little crazy.
‘But when he realised who the woman was, he agreed to undergo a paternity test.
‘Then Lee had to break the news to his fiancée, Samantha Miller. It wasn’t easy but they’ve talked it through and everything is fine.’
The star is said to be excited about adding to his family and has always wanted a little girl.
Lee is currently staying at the MayFair hotel in central London while he records Blue’s comeback album, which will be released next year.
Last night he was stopped and searched by police after nipping outside the venue for a cigarette.
His spokesman explained: ‘A group of guys were also outside having cigarettes when undercover police appeared.
‘One of the guys in the other group was apparently smoking marijuana, so the police searched everyone outside the hotel in the vicinity.
‘Lee was also searched, but obviously police found nothing and he went straight back into the hotel and continued his night. He then went out clubbing.
‘Wrong place, wrong time and Lee was not arrested or involved in any way.’
Lee had his son Rayn less than a year after meeting 26-year-old Samantha on MySpace.
At the time of his birth, Lee posed in a photoshoot with the baby and Samantha for Hello! magazine and told the publication: ‘I’ve got this incredible feeling of responsibility and protectiveness. It’s great – I love it.’
Samantha added: ‘I couldn’t do it without him.
‘It’s been an incredible year for us. We keep looking at Rayn and saying to each other we just can’t believe he’s ours.’
A spokesman for the pop star explained: ‘Lee was contacted by Jessica Keevil to say that her daughter was Lee’s child.
‘Lee immediately sorted a paternity test, and he is the father of the child. Lee is now sorting out access and child support.
‘This has come as a huge surprise to Lee, but he will 100 per cent be part of the child’s life from here on.’
