Taking to social media Coco, real name Nicole Natalie Marrow, tweeted, “I’m pregnant!!! Yah!! Ice and I are so excited! I announced it Friday on our new talk show which airs Aug 3rd.”

In the past, the 36-year-old reality star has been vocal about wanting children, despite her 57-year-old husband already having two grown up children of his own, LeTesha, 39 and Ice, 23, from two previous relationships.

The rapper also has a 20-year-old grandson, Elyjah Marrow, who was arrested last year for allegedly killing his housemate.

The Law and Order: SVU star also took to twitter to confirm the exciting baby bombshell: “Oh s–t! The news is out. YES. We’re having a baby. We announced it on the Ice&Coco Talk Show taping Friday.. That show will air August 3rd.”

Speaking on American TV’s Good Day New York, the pair explained: “We’re pregnant! I’ve been pregnant for a while, but we’ve been holding it between us for quite some time. We just finally released it this past Friday on our talk show and it was a really awesome moment.”

The blonde beauty added: “I cried. I didn’t think I was going to actually cry, but it was a nice feeling to finally know that the world knows and I don’t have to hide it anymore.”

Ice-T and Coco married in January 2002 and renewed their vows on their 10th wedding anniversary in July of 2011 at a very well-publicised event. The pair have also starred in their own reality show called Ice Loves Coco, which ran on E! from 2011-2013.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
