He continued, “I think she’ll be happy about it. She has been requesting another sister or brother, so we’ve hopefully fulfilled that role for her. She just wants something different now. Lena is growing up – she’s two-and-a-half now. She wants someone younger to play with and dress up."

Mike also addressedZara’s past miscarriages, saying that his wife is “very good,” despite being “always careful because of things that have happened in the past.”
“[She’s] really looking forward to it,” he said.
