Alexis told the New York Post, "They're very, very excited. They just keep guessing if it's a boy or a girl. As soon as Amar'e walks into the door those kids are all over him. He's like a big kid. He's a great dad."
Speaking about her recent wedding with Stoudemire, Alexis also revealed, "It was beautiful to have a private ceremony with close family and friends. I planned it; I wanted to have something that was more spiritual where we could really understand what being married means. It was a great way to end 2012."
