The country singer – whose wife Nicole Kidman is expecting the couple’s first child in July – is looking forward to the imminent arrival and admits while they know the sex of the baby they are keeping it secret.

He told Las Vegas’ KCYE radio station: “I’m very excited about it. We know the gender but I’m not saying. I’m glad we found out though, because it brought it home, you know what I’m saying.”

The couple – who married in 2006 – announced Nicole’s pregnancy in January.
Following the announcement, Nicole and Keith were pictured grinning broadly while shopping together in Paddington, Australia.

Asked how they were feeling about the news, Nicole said: “Very excited. We are thrilled!”

Nicole – who has suffered miscarriages in the past – already has two adopted children, Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13, with her ex-husband Tom Cruise. Nicole and Keith met at a black-tie ball for Australians living in Los Angeles in summer 2005.
