It’s official!

Actor Lance Gross and girlfriend Rebecca Jefferson are expecting their first child. Gross announced the good news with a sensual instagram of the mommy-to-be. 

“God has gifted me,” wrote the Crisis star who has been dating Jefferson, a stylist, for over three years. The two are rumored to be engaged, but Gross has not confirmed.

While the world gushes over his sexiness, Gross recently told ESSENCE that he stays far away from the playboy lifestyle many assume his good looks would afford him. “I’m just Lance Gross. I’m a regular dude,” he said.

“I don’t like the numbers game. I’m not into putting notches on my belt. I get one dope chick and that’s all I need.”

Join us in congratulating the daddy-to-be.
