“Soon [I’m going] to be married to this beautiful woman next to me,” he said.
The basketball player also couldn't contain his joy about welcoming a daughter, saying: "This is exciting ... We want to have a big family. I know my two boys are going to be extremely excited to meet their little sister and protect her and spend time with her and play with her and grow up with her."
In announcing that they were expecting a third child earlier this year, the couple shared a photo from their gender reveal on Instagram, where they wrote, "Our dreams are becoming reality."
When Riddlesprigger was asked how her pregnancy journey has been, she said, "I'm feeling very pregnant," while adding, "hopefully the baby comes very soon."
"I'm very excited. It's our third. Our other two boys are excited as well. We'll see how it goes,” she said.
She also said that her beau has been very supportive during her pregnancy. “He’s doing a great job. He gets me ice cream when I want it and everything else.”
