Speaking to Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show yesterday, Joel confirmed that the baby had started kicking but they don’t know whether it is going to be a boy or a girl: “we are waiting so right now it’s an it. Which sounds wrong. We call it the baby. When we talk to it, it’s a you.”

The baby is due at the end of the year but the parents to be have already started getting things ready regarding the nursery: “We’ve started it. I already went to Target and got a stroller and a playpen.”

“I’m excited. We are all really excited about it. It’s the best thing that has ever happened to us. It’s awesome.”

He added that despite rumours suggesting he and Nicole will marry this month, they’re concentrating on the baby for the time being: “Obviously, marriage is in our future. I don’t know when or where or how, but right now our priority is our family and is the baby.”

“That’s all we’ve been thinking about. We are in love and are really happy.”
