Actress Constance Marie is going to be a mommy.
The former George Lopez star, 43, and her fiance, yoga teacher Kent Katich, tell Usmagazine.com exclusively that they are expecting a baby girl in February.
“I am feeling good now,” the five-months pregnant actress tells Us. “But the beginning was rough! Instead of ‘morning sickness,’ they should call it ‘all day sickness!'”
She says she “wasn’t sure” she wanted to have a child initially.
“But after 10, 11 years of playing a mom, starting with [1997 biopic] Selena and then to the George Lopez show, I think I finally decided that I wanted to be one in real life!” she tells Us.
She adds, “If you’re not around children constantly, you don’t realize how wonderful they are!”
She says she’s thrilled she’ll have a daughter.
“It’s all so exciting!” she tells Us. “A little girl!”
She adds that she and Katich still aren’t sure if they’ll tie the knot before or after the baby arrives.
“I think marriage is a wonderful thing, and I believe in it, but really things are so good … why mess with them?” she tells Us. “I’ve heard success stories from both sides, so I think we are good.”
Adds Marie, “It’ll be his little girl, too – and she’ll have his last name. I hope she has his nose too! He has a great nose!”
