Laila Ali: 'I'm Pregnant Again!'



Laila Ali is expecting: The former Dancing With the Stars contestant and American Gladiator host exclusively shared with People



"I am pregnant again! I'm three months, and I'm so excited, my family is excited," says a beaming Ali. "I'm hoping it's a girl this time!"

Due in early April 2011, this will be the second child together for Ali, 32, and husband Curtis Conway, 39, who married in July 2007. Their first child, son Curtis Jr. – whom they call C.J. – is 2.


Laila says her father, boxing legend Muhammad Ali, is excited about becoming a grandfather again. "My dad is an excellent grandfather," she says. "He loves kids. He loves to kiss them to death."
A former world-class boxer herself, Ali admits it's a challenge to maintain an exercise regime during pregnancy.



"I've noticed I'm putting on weight faster this time, I started showing sooner," she says. "Staying fit is a challenge, even if you are a former athlete such as myself, because you just don't have the energy that you used to have. Also, I have to hold myself back because I want to work harder than I'm able to."



"I have cravings all the time, even when I'm not pregnant," Ali says. "I made a strawberry shortcake last night." And? "It was great."
