NFL star Antonio Cromartie and his wife Terricka received a second big surprise for their blended family and shocked the internet with recent news that they are excepting yet another child. 

The football wife announced that she’s carrying the couple’s sixth child, which will be Antonio’s 14th kid.

“In the up an coming CROMARTIE DRAFT of 2017, with the 6th OverAll Pick. Will the Cromartie’s Draft a Boy or a Girl. J6 coming soon,” Terricka shared.

My heartbeats #nationalsiblingday J5. So blessed by these little ones and the love they have for each other. So funny when you have to get involved in a fight because one didnt let the other one kiss them, or didn't say Bless you... My babies #TheCrosNest #latewithnowifi #havanacuba

The news might not be surprising to some, but it is quite the shocker for the couple because the former New York Jet had a vasectomy in 2015!

Following his procedure, the couple was undoubtedly surprised to learn she was pregnant with twins who were conceived before the vasectomy and now this is their second pregnancy post-procedure.

Terricka told US Weekly during her last pregnancy, “I was going back and forth in my head how it could even happen. In my head we were good to go, we were having free sex! I just really thought that his procedure was the best protection you could have at this point.”

The Cromartie clan recently celebrated the first birthday of the youngest children, twins Jynx and J’adore, who were born in 2016.

Can't believe dem babies are ONE
