Newlyweds Amar’e Stoudemire and wife Alexis are bringing even more great news into the new year– they’re expecting their fourth child.
The couple, who tied the knot on 12-12-12, will welcome a new addition to their rapidly growing family in the spring.

“We’re blessed that we were able to extend our family,” the New York Knicks forward told PEOPLE. “We’re both huge on having a nice size family. It was something we’ve been talking about for a while. It happened naturally and at the right time so it all worked out.”
And while Alexis has admitted to some morning sickness, she says she can’t complain and the pregnancy is perfect timing.
“[Everyone is] very, very excited,” she added. “They just keep guessing if it’s a boy or a girl.”
Whatever the gender, there will be plenty of hands to help with the new baby. Amar’e and Alexis already have three children together– Ar’e (7), Amar’e Jr. (6) and Assata (4).

The pair will also be planning a more extravagant “Cinderella” wedding this summer for friends and family who missed out on their ultra-private ceremony back in December.
Congratulations to the couple!
