Earlier this month the singer surprised fans when he spoke on his reality show about not being sure about wanting any more kids.
But he subsequently clarified his comments and explained that he couldn’t be happier about Emily’s pregnancy.
In an interview with new! magazine, he shared: ‘On a recent episode of My Life, you might have caught me discussing with my brother Mike about whether I’d like to become a dad once more. Naturally, we had that talk before I was aware that Emily was expecting.’

He added: ‘But at that time, I wasn’t certain. Circumstances are always changing, and you don’t always plan how things will unfold. Regardless, I’m thrilled to have another baby on the way.’
The TV presenter also revealed that he will be present for the baby’s birth, adding: ‘I wouldn’t miss the birth of my child for anything! I think it’s important for dads to be present and to hold their partner’s hand.’
He also told Yahoo! that Emily was coping well with pregnancy, saying: ‘She’s got everything covered when it comes to the pregnancy – she’s amazing. She just knows what she’s doing.’
