Reggie Bush, who famously dated Kim Kardashian back in 2007, has been seeing Armenian-born Lilit Avagyan for a while now, and the couple has just announced they are expecting.

Miami Dolphins running back Bush confirmed that Avagyan is about 12-weeks along, and while it’s too soon to find out the sex of the baby, he says he’s hoping for a boy who won’t rile up his overprotective nature.

“If it’s a girl I’m going straight to the gun shop to buy some guns,” he said.

Bush says he’s excited about being a father for the first time and is looking forward to sharing the experience with Avagyan.

“We can’t wait. It’s an opportunity to bring in new life and raise a child. That’s the most special gift to a man and a woman. I look forward to it and to building a family,” he said.
