posted in CelebritiesFourteen years after tying the knot, Ice-T and Coco Austin are on their way to welcoming their first child together.
The model/television personality announced the big news Monday while talking about their upcoming chat show, writing on Twitter: "I'm pregnant!!! Yah!! Ice & I are so excited! I announced it Friday on our new talkshow which airs Aug 3rd."
The baby will be the first for Coco, who is 36, and the third for 57-year-old Ice-T. Not only does he have two children from previous relationships, he has grandchildren -- including one who's already 20!
The mom-to-be previously opened up about her desire to have children by sharing, "I don't want to be like those 80-year-old women with no one around them. I want to have something I gave birth to early in life and be like, 'You can help me out now!'"
"I want a little girl!" Coco Austin told In Touch Weekly in 2013. "We already have the name — Chanel. I want her to be a lawyer!"
"I want a little doll of my own!” she added. “I could teach her to walk in heels and do her hair."
No word yet on if Ice-T and Coco are expecting a boy or girl, or the star's due date.
In a way I envy those who have their kids' names picked out years ahead of time, because the process of choosing one while pregnant was not easy for me. I kept wanting to have an "Aha! That's it!" moment, like a lightbulb going off that I'd found the perfect name, but in reality it was a process of eliminating the names that we liked least and seeing what was left.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I imagine the kind of people who have their kids' names chosen well before even getting pregnant have more an absolutely-sure-that-name0-is-perfect feeling.
Did you have your child's name picked out ahead of time? Is that what they ended up being called? Share with us in a comment below!
