Earlier this week, Clay Cane of BET.com released exclusive photos of actress Nia Long (40) showing off a baby bump while vacationing in Cabo.

The lucky father-to-be is Spurs player Ime Udoka, who has been dating Nia for over a year now. Earlier today, the couple released a statement to People.com announcing the happy news:

“This is the most exciting time in our lives. Words can’t explain how thrilled we are by the new addition to our family. We feel truly blessed and appreciate all the well wishes and prayers.”
