It seems that this year is indeed a baby boom! MStars News has learned that The Best Man Holiday star Terrence Howard has announced that he and his wife Miranda will be expecting a baby together.

The couple announced the wonderful news during a New Year's Eve party at AnQi, in California, according to Sister 2 Sister.

People reported that the couple were glowing as they appeared on stage together, after Howard, who's also a talented singer and guitarist, performed and revealed that they were expecting.

Howard then rubbed his wife's belly as the crowd cheered with excitement for the couple. The soon-to-be parents wed back in 2013, making Miranda Howard's fourth wife.

Howard is also a grandfather to his eldest child, Aubrey's daughter, Hazel, 3.

In other Howard news, he along with Taraji P. Henson will be heating up the winter season with their new TV series Empire premiering on Fox Jan. 7.

Howard will star as Lucious Lyon. The show is described as:

Hip-hop artist and CEO of Empire Entertainment, Lucious Lyon has always ruled unchallenged, but a medical diagnosis predicts he will be incapacitated in three years, which prompts the sharks to circle. Without further damaging his family, he must decide which of his three sons will take over. His favorite, young Hakeem, is a gifted musician but values fame over hard work. Middle son Jamal is talented and shy but gay — embarrassing to Lyon. The oldest, Andre, is business-minded but lacks charisma. The reappearance of Cookie, his ex-wife, complicates things. She says he owes her for taking the fall for the drug-running that financed his early career.

Howard will also be gearing up for his role in The Best Man 3, due to be released in 2016.
