Stevie Wonder is expecting to be a dad again
I guess you're never too old to be a father, even if you're in your 50s. It's been reported that soul legend and super music producer and pioneer Stevie Wonder is going to be a father again.
Stevie and his fashion designer wife Kai Milla are expecting a new baby this May (their second and Stevie's fifth) and Stevie is just over the moon about it. When asked about the forthcoming bundle of joy, Stevie joked: "Who's putting my business in the street? (laughter) Well, I heard that my child may be born the same day as me, so y'all have to deal with another one of us again. I'm thankful to God for life and ... we're very thankful for life."
On the musical aspect of his life, Stevie is also expecting to release an album of new material called 'A Time To Love', on May 3rd, 10 days before his 55th birthday.
