While attending the Humanitarian Awards in Los Angeles on Friday, Oct. 16, "I need a Dollar" singer Aloe Blacc confirmed he and his wife Maya Jupiter are expecting their second child together, Us Weekly reports.
Blacc also revealed they are expecting a baby boy. Their first child is a baby girl named Mandela who was born in 2013.
"Baby No. 2 on the way!" the "Wake Me Up" singer, 36, told Us Weekly. "According to the doctor, it's a boy, so hopefully they are right. We had a girl at first."
When asked to share how his wife is doing during her current pregnancy, Blacc said, "She's actually really thriving through this pregnancy. This is awesome."
Us Weekly reports Jupiter performed at the Humanitarian awards and Blacc supportingly and lovingly sat in the audience.
Although Blacc admits that Jupiter is thriving during her pregnancy, he did also admit that she has many cravings for foods like Nutella and pickles.
In addition to catering to Jupiter's food cravings, Blacc revealed he and Jupiter play music in the house all the time for the baby to enjoy.
E! News reports Blacc and Jupiter tied the knot in 2010. It is not clear when Jupiter is expected to give birth.
Prior to sharing the news of Jupiter's latest pregnancy, Blacc gushed about how fatherhood has changed him for the better in an 2014 interview with The Daily Mail.
"[Fatherhood has] been wonderful. The beautiful thing is that my wife is a champion. She lets me sleep when I need to. But I definitely help out as much as I can. I've changed plenty of nappies!" he said.
During the interview, Blacc also revealed that his daughter's name was inspired by Nelson Mandela and his family.
"[My daughter] is definitely named after the Mandela family, but that could be Winnie or any member," he explained. "Just as Nelson was important, the work started with his wife and her campaigning. Mandela's grandchildren were so tickled to know that we named our daughter after them, though."
