The singer and the NFL quarterback, 27, got married this past July, following a nearly four-month-long engagement. They were first linked last year, and made headlines after they revealed they were remaining abstinent until marriage.

"She's been through some heartaches, I've been through some heartaches," Wilson said in an interview. "[But] I ain't going to lie to you all now, I need you all to pray for us!"

This will be the first child for Wilson, and the second for Ciara, who has a 2-year-old son from a previous relationship.
