Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Jamie O'Hara is expecting to welcome his third son into the family with wife Danielle.
The couple discovered the sex of their baby this week when the midfielder's other half, who was hoping for a girl, had her 20-week scan.
"After having two boys I was really keen for a little girl and, as soon as the doctor told me it was a boy, I got very emotional," Danielle wrote in her column for Closer magazine.
"As soon as I got home, though, and saw my two amazing boys, I felt like such a fool and realised there are some people who can't even have kids, so I'm so lucky to have three healthy boys. I just can't wait to meet my new son now."
The couple already have two young sons Archie and Harry.
