Amar'e and Alexis Stoudemire expecting their fourth child

New York Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire and wife Alexis, who were married in Dec. 12 in New York City, tell People they are expecting their fourth child together later this spring.

"We're blessed that we were able to extend our family. We're both huge on having a nice size family. It was something we've been taking about for a while. But it happened naturally and at the right time so it all worked out," Stoudemire tells People.

Alexis adds, "It was just perfect timing."

The couple already have three children -- Ar'e, 7, Amar'e Jr., 6, and Assata, 4. Alexis says all the children are "very, very excited," adding they can't wait to know if it's a boy or a girl.

The couple plans to have another wedding this summer, after the NBA season is over, which Amar'e says will be a "big, extravagant Cinderella wedding for Alexis!"
